Power House Condo Painter

It takes a couple super creative minds to transform a power station into fabulous condo living spaces. World-renowned architect Karl Fisher and interior designer Andres Escobar did exactly that in the Hunters Point waterfront neighborhood of Long Island City. The Pennsylvania Railroad Power Station was constructed in 1909 and closed in 1920. It opened as a residential building for luxury lifestyles in the fall of 2007.

We get excited to work inside these historical edifices, like our painting becomes part of history when we freshen the spaces. Here we prepared this lovely unit for new tenants, and we are positive they will love the wood-grain look flooring for its natural vibe, and the smooth, freshly painted walls and white trim. The bedrooms were painted with Benjamin Moore’s First Snowfall, a warm neutral with faint blue-gray undertones. Factor in a white tray ceiling and copious windows for natural daylight, and there’s a unique brand of excitement for living large in a former power station.
