NYKB: New York’s Leading Design and Renovation Firm Celebrates 25 Years
New York Kitchen & Bath Marks 25 Years as One of Manhattan's Leading Design Firms. For 25 years, New York Kitchen & Bath (NYKB) has established itself as one of New York’s leading design firms, helping shape the city’s residential interiors through thousands of renovation projects across the five boroughs.
Founded in 2001 by Perry Hiiman, NYKB has grown from a team of eight into an organization of more than 80 professionals and has completed thousands of kitchen, bathroom, apartment, townhouse, and interior renovation projects. Today, the firm stands among the established names in New York’s design and renovation landscape, recognized for its combination of design expertise, craftsmanship, project management, and deep knowledge of the city’s unique residential environment.
25 Years of New York Design
What distinguishes NYKB is its longevity and depth of experience in one of the world's most demanding design markets. Over two and a half decades, the firm has worked within a remarkable range of New York properties and architectural styles, from Manhattan apartments and luxury condominiums to townhouses and residences throughout the city's five boroughs. That experience has given NYKB an informed perspective on how New Yorkers live, and how residential design has evolved.
The firm's work reflects the broader transformation of New York interiors over the past 25 years. Kitchens have become central gathering spaces. Bathrooms have become increasingly sophisticated. Apartments are being designed around flexibility, comfort, entertaining, storage, wellness, and personalization. Through those changes, NYKB has remained focused on creating interiors that combine strong design with the practical realities of New York living.
An Established Name in New York's Design Community
NYKB's position has been built over years rather than created through a single project or trend.
Its Flatiron District showroom has become a destination for homeowners exploring kitchen, bath, and residential design, while the firm's portfolio demonstrates experience across a broad spectrum of New York renovation needs.
NYKB has also developed expertise in one of the most important, and often overlooked, aspects of New York residential design: navigating the city's complex renovation environment. Permitting, building requirements, co-op and condominium approvals, scheduling, logistics, and construction coordination can all have a significant impact on a project's success. NYKB's longstanding experience gives the firm an understanding of how design decisions translate into real-world projects within New York's buildings. That combination of design and New York-specific expertise has helped establish NYKB as a trusted name among homeowners undertaking significant renovations.
Design Experience at Scale
A quarter century in business has given NYKB something few design firms can replicate: a substantial body of completed work. The company has worked on thousands of renovation projects, ranging from individual kitchens and bathrooms to comprehensive apartment and townhouse renovations. That volume provides an important perspective on design. Trends come and go, but certain principles remain constant, proportion, functionality, material quality, craftsmanship, and a clear understanding of how a client wants to use a space. NYKB's experience allows those principles to inform projects while still giving each residence its own identity.
Looking Ahead
As NYKB enters its next chapter, the firm continues to reflect the changing expectations of New York homeowners. Today's clients are increasingly interested in personalized interiors, sophisticated materials, wellness-oriented spaces, sustainable choices, integrated technology, and designs that remain relevant over time.
For NYKB, the future builds on a foundation established over 25 years: an extensive portfolio, an experienced team, and a deep understanding of New York's residential design landscape. In a city filled with design talent, longevity matters. After 25 years and thousands of completed projects, NYKB has earned its place as one of New York's leading design firms, one of the established names homeowners know when they are ready to transform the way they live.
