Completing a renovation in a landmark skyscraper like 1 Palace Place requires more than just craftsmanship; it requires elite logistics and technical expertise. Our team successfully executed a massive tiling project spanning the entire building, culminating in the luxury finishes of the top floor residences.

A Massive Undertaking: 47 Floors of Hallway Tiling

Renovating the common areas of a 47 story building is a significant feat of coordination. We replaced the flooring across every residential level to create a unified, modern aesthetic throughout the tower:

• Consistent Quality: Every floor received the same meticulous attention to detail, ensuring perfectly straight grout lines and a level surface from the first floor to the top.
• Strata Coordination: Working within a live building, we managed the installation schedule to ensure residents had continuous access while we transformed their hallways.

The Penthouse Collection: Premium Slab Installation

The crown jewel of this project was the work performed on the two story Penthouse (PH) floors. To match the prestige of a 47th floor view, we utilized ultra high end materials:

• Large Format Slabs: We installed massive slab tiles to create a seamless, stone like finish. This technique reduces visual clutter and provides the “unbroken” look synonymous with luxury real estate.
• Complex Logistics: Transporting and installing oversized slabs on the 47th floor requires specialized handling and precision cutting to fit the unique architectural angles of a penthouse suite.

Precision at Every Level

From the high traffic hallways of the lower levels to the exclusive slab floors of the penthouse, this project at 1 Palace Place stands as a testament to our ability to handle large scale, high stakes renovations. We have successfully modernized one of the city’s most iconic addresses, one floor at a time.

The entrance of a premium building sets the tone for everything inside. At 1119 Cooke Blvd, we completed a comprehensive overhaul of both main lobbies, replacing high maintenance carpet with a sophisticated, large format tile installation.

Precision Cutting: The Manual “CNC” Standard

What sets this project apart is the level of technical mastery involved in the fitting. Rather than standard installation, we approached every tile with industrial level accuracy:

• Custom Fabrication: Every single tile was hand cut by our team to fit the specific contours of the lobby.
• Flawless Execution: By achieving cuts so precise they rival a CNC machine, we ensured a level of symmetry and tight joints that are impossible with standard tools.
• Large Format Mastery: Moving from carpet to large tiles required a perfectly leveled base and zero margin for error in the layout to ensure a smooth, continuous surface.

A Modern Transformation

By removing the dated carpet and installing custom fitted tile, we have achieved several key improvements for the building:

1. Architectural Impact: The large tiles create an expansive, high end feel that instantly modernizes the dual entrances.
2. Extreme Durability: The new tiled surface is built to withstand heavy daily foot traffic while maintaining its polished look.

The Result

The lobbies at 1119 Cooke Blvd now feature a durable, elegant entrance that combines the warmth of a welcoming space with the precision of modern engineering. Every piece was cut, fit, and finished to provide a lasting first impression.
