See inside a serene, scooter-accessible two-bedroom on the Upper East Side
The Living Room: “The vintage Harvey Probber chairs swivel, allowing Brad to get to the sofa easily,” says Kammi Reiss. The couch and ottoman are from Dune, the chandelier is from Blueprint Lighting, and the area rug is from Odegard. Photo: Patrick Cline In 2017, with both of their daughters out of college and living on their own, Brad and Kammi Reiss decided they should downsize to a two-bedroom.
She put that experience to work in the renovation of their new two bedroom. The Upper East Side postwar apartment incorporates stealth moves that allow for Brad’s independence so he can maneuver and charge his motorized scooter throughout the rooms. “I had customized our last space, too,” Reiss says, “but not with nearly as much detail as here. Also, our last apartment was much bigger, so I didn’t have to be as clever about the customizations.
The Foyer From Dining Area: “It has plenty of space for Brad’s scooter to do a 360, and outlets on all the walls so we can charge the scooter when it’s not in use.” Photo: Patrick Cline “The foyer has a shallow table with a lamp that adds soft light.” Photo: Patrick Cline The Dining Area: “A pedestal dining table allows a wheelchair or scooter to pull up to it, so anyone can be comfortable and fit at the table.” Photo: Patrick Cline Other changes are subtly utilitarian.
