Gilded Monkey

A bar set against the garden

Location:Sailfish Point, Stuart, FL

Gilded Monkey is the home bar in a Sailfish Point remodel, named for the gilded monkey figurines that keep watch over the counter. It won second place for Specialty Kitchen in the 2026 NKBA Design Competition.

The kitchen in this same home appears in the North Marina Way project.



Bar

Caviar leather, Calacatta Borghini, and gilded cork

Glass shelves float in front of the window, so the bottles catch the light with the garden behind them. Black cabinetry with glass front doors frames the wall on either side, lit from within and finished in brass. The island is wrapped in caviar leather, cut from whole hides, and topped in Calacatta Borghini marble, with white upholstered stools on brass footrests. Gilded cork covers the walls, and a starburst chandelier in brass and glass hangs at the center of the room.
