Designing in a landmark status building always has its challenges, and it gets even more challenging when the kitchen needs to meet the high standards of two of New York’s most esteemed chefs. Relocating the finishing kitchen from the former operation to the ground floor for the Le Rock culinary team required a fully custom design and fabricated equipment set-up to squeeze into the space that was carved out of the old dining room. In addition, the cellar level kitchen needed to be adapted to include a full bakery-pastry program.
