Gabellini Sheppard

Clean, spare, sculptural these modern spaces designed by Gabellini Sheppard are more like functional backdrops for the simple beauty contained within whether classic furniture, a crisp bed of linen or in the case of their retail work for the the likes of Jil Sander, a stage for a product. It's a spatial thing but bathed in the simplicity of light and defined by crisp lines. Minimalism at its purist.

Oasis in the city

This amazing meadow in the centre of the city is the roof top garden of a New York penthouse. Designed by Andrew Berman, a barren tar rooftop was transformed into a city oasis while the top floor became the family's living quarters. Home to a bee colony the rooftop garden is planted with meadow grasses and wildflowers. Magic with midtown views!
