Architecture Stonehill & Taylor
“With hotel architecture, we want to create buildings that support the hotel’s function as a gathering place and cornerstone for communities,” says architect Paul Taylor. “The Whitby has a quiet, understated architecture that fits seamlessly with the neighborhood, but the generously sized windows and numerous terraces offer glimpses of the activity and life within.”
Interior design Kit Kemp
An enveloping mood of comfort emanates from the bedrooms thanks to fabric-lined walls, an enchanting mix of sumptuous textures and hues, and Kemp’s signature touches, such as oversized headboards, some beautifully embroidered and embellished by the artist Kumi. Kemp’s own fabric designs have been used throughout, alongside elegant rugs, ceramics, artworks, and cushions. Here, too, you will discover original works by numerous celebrated artists, including Joe Tilson and Ramiro Saus.
The Original Kit Kemp
The Whitby Bar & Restaurant Fine food and afternoon tea
The Whitby Bar & Restaurant is a rich, colorful, airy room with high ceilings, an impressive 30-foot pewter bar, and beautifully upholstered banquettes. Tall warehouse-style windows and doors lead through to a sunny orangery with vaulted ceilings and skylight, bathing it in natural light.
If you’ve ever wanted to play with bold colors in your interiors and didn’t know how, here is a masterclass by the queen of mixing prints and patterns, Kit Kemp on Spring Greens.
Another thought-provoking extract from Design Thread, Kit Kemp’s third colorful and wholly inspiring book.
From Picasso’s late works to Vaginal Davis’s activism and Ayoung Kim’s futuristic visions, these shows will inspire and provoke.
As divisive as fashion, floral arrangement preferences tend to put people in starkly different camps: purists, like Tom Ford, who prefer one type of flower and color; hippies, who love wildflowers; classicists, of course, and more.
Whimsical, eclectic, and always hard to pin down, Kit Kemp has much in common with the hotel interiors she’s spent a career fashioning into stand-alone pieces of individual expression. Like her, they are anything but static.
