Sunnyside Gardens, the courtyard co-op, and the small closet.
Custom closets for Sunnyside and Woodside, Queens: 1920s garden apartments, courtyard co-ops and two-family homes, with reach-ins and wardrobes designed in 3D.
Published
Sunnyside and Woodside sit just east of Long Island City, and their housing is older and lower. Sunnyside Gardens, a landmarked planned community from the 1920s, has row houses and garden apartments around shared courtyards. Nearby, six-story co-ops and two-family brick homes line the streets off Queens Boulevard and Skillman Avenue.
Garden apartments and co-ops
Apartments here often have small reach-in closets with one rod. A custom interior with double hanging, a shoe shelf and drawers fits in the same opening and can double the usable space. Where the doors are original, we keep them and rebuild the inside.
Two-family homes
Two-family homes in Woodside often have bedrooms tucked under the roof line, with sloped ceilings. Closets built to the slope, with lower hanging at the short end and drawers at the tall end, use space that's otherwise wasted.
Landmark rules
Sunnyside Gardens is a historic district. Interior closet work usually doesn't affect the landmark, but check with your co-op or the district rules if your project touches windows or exterior walls.
Budget-minded options
Not every closet needs a full system. A well-planned reach-in can be a modest project; see our closet cost estimator for a starting range.
