A Kitchen in the Kenilworth

An older feature of the place, the small maid's room in the far corner of the kitchen, once removed, allows for a wall of pantry, a long table and vintage chandelier above it, and plenty of natural light to make the most of the Gustavian grey and white palette—painted limewood cupboards with natural interiors, enamelled lavastone countertops, basins and tiles, and hand selected split-joint mosaic for the floor and shower base of the adjoining guest bath which made for the easier structural decision to convert the linen closet from the back hall for dual entry.

The simple elegance of the space is equalled by practical traditional solid wood details, dovetail drawers and birds-beak brackets for adjustable shelving, custom accents from cutting boards that nest into the lava farmer's sink and slide aside for access to the bowl to all wood lazy-Susans, utensil trays, and pantry bins.

As highlighted by Mitchell Parker in his Houzz Editorial “3 Stunning White-and-Gray Kitchens” for “simple, elegant and classic style with custom storage Gustavian gray limewood cabinets in a custom paint blend (by Bis Bis). Enamel-glazed lava stone countertops with craquelé finish. Lava stone backsplash tiles with matte glaze.” And in the adjoining guest bath a hand-finished corner washtand, mirrored cabinet and shelving with a custom shower and split-joint marble mosaic tile work.’

Residential Suites at The Mark

The Un-Gyve Limited Group engineered and produced the exquisite custom baths for the residential suites at The Mark Hotel by Jacques Grange.

“A grand hotel requires a grand vision. So The Mark turned to renowned French designer Jacques Grange, whose clients have included some of the world’s greatest and most exacting style-setters, among them Yves St. Laurent, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld and Caroline, Princess of Monaco.

Equally adept at creating grand spaces of striking modernity and theatrical effect, as well as serene havens of quiet luxury, Grange was the perfect man to re-imagine The Mark's design. Here in NYC, he has unleashed the full range of his talents, creating public spaces that engage and delight, and private 5 star hotel rooms and suites that calm and soothe. In addition, he not only oversaw and designed furnishings, he collaborated with the Parisian design gallerist Pierre Passebon to commission a host of objets d’art, furniture and lighting fixtures, specially created for the hotel by renowned artists and artisans, including Ron Arad, Vladimir Kagan, Mattia Bonetti, Paul Mathieu, Eric Schmitt, Rachel Howard, Todd Eberle, among others.”
