When NYC-based interior design studio Perifio took on the renovation of an 800-square-foot Upper West Side apartment, they were tasked with balancing pre-war character and modern comfort, all within a tight footprint. It was their first Manhattan project - and one that came with structural overhauls, 20-foot ceilings, and the pressure to make every inch count.
“Programa is our comprehensive solution for all project management and organizational needs.”

Storage was a major challenge. “Basically, there was none,” says co-founder Matt Bidgoli. Custom millwork became the solution, with multifunctional pieces like an upholstered dining banquette that doubled as storage. A statement green kitchen became the heart of the home, while a lofted bedroom and bathroom required clever joinery and a serious eye for proportion.
“Our top challenge, the inefficiency of archaic spreadsheets, was completely overcome by the program's superior scheduling features.”

Using Programa allows Perifio to keep the project on track through a seamless, all-in-one scheduling and specification process - especially essential for a build of this scale and complexity.
“The scheduling feature not only saved us significant time but also kept all our project data organized and readily editable in one convenient location.”
