quartzite, granite, travertine, and marble floors—

the 24-hour concierge awaits. In tandem with the

building’s illustrious amenities, your every wish is

ceremoniously accounted for.

In the same vein as Lenny Kravitz’s music and style, KRAVITZ DESIGN moves to its own distinct beat.

4646 47

Having grown up around musicians and actors in NYC with incredible taste and amazing homes, it comes as no surprise that music icon Lenny Kravitz would add interior design to his list of creative endeavors.

48 Kravitz Design touts a portfolio of noteworthy ventures around the world,

including luxury suites at hotels in Las Vegas and Miami,

the limited-edition “Correspondent” camera for the renowned Leica

brand, ceramic tiles for Lea Ceramiche, sunglasses and watches for

Brazilian brand Chilli Beans, the Trousdale collection of architectural

products for Rocky Mountain Hardware, and the 70’s-inspired

CB2 x Kravitz Design Collection.

EclecticSoulful Inspired

1980s, New York City. It was an impassioned, indulgent,

expressive time. A time of explosive artistic expansion,

invigorated living, and an art and music scene that

reflected the changing international landscapes. The

galleries, nightclubs, and streets of downtown New York

were the epicenter of all that was happening and cool. It’s

no coincidence then that Lenny Kravitz’s first Manhattan

apartment was downtown, in SoHo, on Broome Street.

For nearly two decades, Lenny Kravitz has been

globally recognized as an award-winning musician, a

bona-fide style icon, and a creative visionary across all

platforms. Kravitz approaches his passion for music—

and life in general—as an intrinsic whole fueled by his

interests in travel, design, and fashion. His drive to

combine all aspects of his artistic endeavors is what

inspired him to found Kravitz Design Inc. in 2003.

POLISHED ELEGANCE WITH AN EDGE

Kravitz Design’s aesthetic is a reflection of its founder Lenny Kravitz’s eclectic lifestyle and world travels.

50 51

Over the last decade, Lenny Kravitz and his team at Kravitz

Design have acted as the creative tour de force behind Miami’s

Paramount Bay Condos, L’Arc nightclub in Paris, and the

penthouse recording studio at Setai Hotel. They have executed

high-profile collaborations with Swarovski and Philippe Starck

for Kartell. The boutique NYC agency has amassed quite the

reputation for moody, cosmopolitan elegance with a fearlessly

sharpened edge. 75 Kenmare is no exception.

NoLita-based Kravitz Design turns the canvas of space into a visceral playground of colors, contrasts, textures, and reflections.

51

THE 75 KENMARE VIBE

For 75 Kenmare, Kravitz Design kept downtown authenticity alive and incorporated a sense of refined elegance.

53

Creating the interiors of 75 Kenmare

was an obvious and organic

intersection of Kravitz Design’s

core culture and values. As a team,

Kravitz Design lives and breathes

the downtown mindset and was—and

still is—an active part of its cultural

history. Kravitz Design possesses an

earned, intimate connection with the

NoLita neighborhood—the scale of its

buildings, the gritty corner bodegas,

and its tight-knit international vibe.

“HOME SHOULD BE A PLACE WHERE

YOU FEEL LIKE YOURSELF AND WHERE

YOUR SPIRIT IS COMFORTABLE.”

Lenny Kravitz is shaking up the worlds of art, music, and design.

Q What is your personal experience with downtown New York City?

A Downtown New York City for me was the place. When I came back to New York City after high school and I began to work on my music, I moved to SoHo and then the Lower East Side. I hung out in NoLita and these were the places I felt most comfortable. This is where the artists were. There was an energy there that was very pleasing to me. There were still a lot of mom and pop shops at that time. You knew everybody. You knew the lady running the shop here, the shop there, the guy at this store and it felt very cozy.

Q What is the draw of the NoLita neighborhood?

A A good balance between the old school and the new school. It ’s always a great place to walk around. Besides having the new people that have moved there, you still have a lot of folks whose families have been there for generations, so it ’s a really great mix of people and energy. People downtown always had the cutting-edge fashion and still do.

Q How are music and design similar?

A Music and design are very similar. They’re both sculptural and layered and come from nothing. You start with a base, and then you build on top of it. In the end, you have a mood. A vibe. Something that makes you feel differently than you did before.

Q How did you get interested in design?

A I think my fascination for design really developed without me being aware of it. As a kid, I was aware of my room, the space, the objects, the lighting—when the lighting was the way I liked it, when it wasn’t—and I was aware of the way the space felt. When I got my own place after I had my record deal, I wanted to make a statement but I didn’t have the bread to do it, so I began to make furniture.

Q How do you describe the aesthetic of 75 Kenmare?

A Traveling to France and to Spain after I made my first record turned me on to Art Nouveau. I was very much into the furniture of Majorelle and into the architecture of Gaudi.

Q How does being surrounded by great design affect someone’s life?

A Being around great design does a lot for the senses. When I’m in an environment that is satisfying to me, it makes me more creative and relaxed. It affects the way I socialize and how I feel. It changes everything.

Q What is your philosophy of Kravitz Design?

A Kravitz Design is that we are not one thing. It ’s all about adapting to the project and being able to be flexible. Creatively, I always want to be changing, to be growing. You can look at many different projects that we’ve done and you wouldn’t think that the same company did it. It ’s important to me to keep evolving.

Q What does the notion of home mean to you?

A Home should be a place where you feel like yourself, where you feel natural, where your spirit is comfortable. A place where you want to make memories and a life. Home should be your refuge.

Delve into the genius behind 75 Kenmare. How it was conceived and cast into reality, from the ground up.

ANDRE KIKOSKI , AIA

Architect

65

“A building in its smallest detail and its biggest expression can articulate the limitless potential of design.”

- Andre Kikoski, AIA


Manhattan-based Andre Kikoski, AIA, a rising star in architecture, has earned numerous

accolades for his innovative designs, including

the American Institute of Architects Honor

Award, the James Beard Foundation Award for

Outstanding Design, and awards for his work at

The Wright in the Guggenheim Museum. Each

of Kikoski’s signature buildings, art spaces, and

private residences is an aesthetically designed

wonder that seamlessly blurs the boundaries

between art and architecture.

A BUILDING AS A CANVAS

66

“As a child, I traveled the world visiting cities, landmarks, and museums full of art. It left me with

an incredible appreciation for buildings and the experiences they create.”


67

68 69

“We designed a contemporary building that emphasizes shade and shadow with its highly articulated façade. A building that will change

with the time of the day, change with the season. A building that even has a sense of joy.”


When conceiving the exterior of 75 Kenmare, Kikoski

and his firm sought to set the tone for future buildings

in the neighborhood. They aimed to make a striking,

contemporary statement to complement NoLita and its

architectural landmarks. To look forward, it was necessary

to look back. By studying ways in which hand-laid brick

had been used to create detail and expression in historic

structures nearby, they were able to reinterpret those

bricks in cast formed concrete. This led to a richly textured

and finely scaled surface that brings pattern, texture, and

rhythm to the exterior.


ARCHITECTURAL FABRIC

70

In order to begin conceptualizing his artistic vision

for 75 Kenmare, Kikoski studied iconic buildings

throughout the city of New York. Historical

buildings. Modern buildings. Buildings he had never

really noticed before. Kikoski then scrutinized the

finest examples of architecture in NoLita, taking

note of the smallest details and textures and

rethinking them in a purely contemporary way.

CEMENTEDIN THE ROOTSOF THE CITY


Kikoski designed a masterpiece of a building that’s absolutely unique and cosmopolitan in its aesthetic.

71

A building that’s globally inspired yet born of the

fabric of New York City and enriched with an intimate

relationship to the street. A building that’s a contextual

celebration of classic materials and masonry techniques

in an entirely new way. A building that is, in a word—art.

Architect’s sketch Vertical panels cast a series of narrow channels in three unique widths to define the architecture of the street wall. Each unique width is in a specific vertical plane that is set consistently with respect to the other two, and the pattern of channels is staggered randomly to create a stunning, contemporary play of dimension, shade, and shadow.

Façade materials Kikoski reinterprets bricks in cast formed concrete, imagining a richly textured and finely scaled surface with thoughtfully contemplated aggregate, color, and a surface patina.

Bronze-hued framingand fins gild the edges for a glorious, warm glow.
