The Hive 165

Our beehive is ready 🐝

Just like in nature, it takes handfuls and handfuls of bees to build and inhabit a beehive. And it took every ounce of planning, designing, coordination, and physical labor to transform our hive into what you see today. Every detail of this space was carefully considered to create a clean, comfortable, and functional environment that not only left a homey feel, but a luxury one.

Whether you’re looking for your next chapter, a peaceful getaway, a space for family and friends to have a or a place that feels both stylish and relaxing, this hive is finally ready to welcome you home ✨

A big thank you to Thomas Caputo for not only writing this piece, but also taking the time to tour the building and speak with several contractors who are part of this project!

Something is buzzing again at Utica’s “busy corner,” where a historic Genesee Street building with roots in the city’s early commercial rise is being restored as a mixed-use project known as The Hive.

The title doesn’t change the work - just the standard.

Around here, the boss sets it.

Tile work is one of those things that almost instantly brings a space together.

From the entryway to the backsplash, thoughtfully chosen materials paired with the careful placement by our tile expert, Budo, are bringing our space close to completion. You’ll still have to wait for the final reveal, though…

The walls may hold the history, but the future belongs to the people inside them. Welcome to The Hive 165 🐝

From doing to simply being, we truly enjoyed our first gathering and are so grateful for all the support.

A kitchen built by family, for families.

The kitchen countertops were delivered and installed right on time thanks to the craftsmanship and coordination of the team at IVO. Seeing the stone set into place has transformed the space from construction and bare cabinets into a kitchen that finally feels ready to be lived in.

The team and family behind have quite literally given this space its centerpiece and we could not be more grateful.

Turns out we can have our cake and eat it too.

With a little encouragement from our mentors, we decided to seal the kitchen ceiling for a brighter look, while still keeping a smooth transition from the white ceiling and sleek overhead lighting when you cook, to the painted, rustic open feel when you’re sitting back with a movie in the living room.

Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty!

Liberty Painters & Decorators certainly put us at ease and gave us the freedom of knowing they would take care of every single corner, edge, and windowpane.
