A new residential complex, 75 Kenmare is situated in the heart of NoLita, in Lower Manhattan. “NoLita,” short for North of Little Italy, is an artsy historic neighborhood brimming with chic vintage shops and boutiques, enchanting restaurants, and art galleries.
Designed by acclaimed New York architect Andre Kikoski, the building consists of 38 luxury apartment homes where floor-to-ceiling glass windows soar to sophisticated heights.

Lenny Kravitz Design helmed the interior design of the building. The rocker’s distinctive touch is luxurious and layered, the epitome of modern elegance. Kravitz incorporated NoLita’s unique charm and vitality into the interiors of 75 Kenmare. A rich variety of materials mingle, such as gorgeous natural stone, textured metal, and solid oak. Kravitz’s disarming and inviting combinations further highlight the residence’s charisma.
The building includes a comprehensive fitness center, a futuristic automated parking garage, and an interior landscaped courtyard. On top of the world-class amenities, the penthouse apartment takes luxury to a new level, boasting a large private terrace.
The couch and dining table as well as other furniture pieces were chosen from the collection of high-end French brand Ligne Roset, whose designs are bold and stylistic. Such choices further encapsulate the beauty of contemporary luxury in the apartment homes.
The “compound penthouse B” includes a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. It has a total interior area of 2,108 square feet. In addition, there are two private outdoor patios. One is 657 square feet and connects to the living room through floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. The other spans 493 square feet across the roof terrace above the living room.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors let natural light in, while neutral-tone oak floors add warmth. The kitchen cabinets juxtapose matte white with elm and are paired with white marble countertops. Gaggenau appliances from Germany blend classic and modern tastes.

Penthouse B is a rare gem among 75 Kenmare’s artistic residences for another reason: it features the artwork of Microsoft’s former Chief Technology Officer-turned-photographer Nathan Myhrvold. Myhrvold pushes the limits of photography by pioneering new uses of custom cameras, robotics, and software. The unit will be home to six images he captured during his extensive world travels, marking the first time his work has been displayed in New York City.
In the master bedroom, warm, light tones prevail, while dark blue and green add richness and a soothing visual hierarchy. Oversized custom windows provide a panoramic city view, while welcoming plenty of sunlight. At night, the atmosphere in the bedroom is quiet and private. The multi-sensory experience is heightened in the master bathroom, where a heated marble floor and luxurious Italian Devon&Devon bathtub melt away weariness and tension.
