Gabellini Sheppard Associates

If you have always dreamed of a perfect home, the Upper East Side Residence, redesigned by the famous American architect Michael Gabellini, is perfect for you. From the outside, it looks like a classic house of the early twentieth century, but thanks to the work of Gabellini and his studio Gabellini Sheppard Associates, interiors look to the future. The seven floors of the house are connected by a magnificent ribbon staircase and corridors that create a spatial continuum that goes from living area to sleeping area, from outside, with terraces and vertical gardens, to indoors, with swimming pool, gym, basketball court. The elements used, including wood, plaster, metal, and the range of colors that includes crisp whites, creams, and warm tones make the whole sophisticated and minimal. Particular is the use of glass that serves both to divide and to unite the environments, thanks to which it is also possible to obtain a perfect balance between natural and artificial light.
