And so our week goes with a three-day workshop with our collaboration with Alvaro Siza. It is an honor to host such a presence. The dedicated design team has been working around the clock, resulting in a large stride towards the finish line, good work team!

Following the tumultuous journey going from condominiums to rentals then back to condominiums, we are proud to have the opportunity to design a beautiful model penthouse unit, in the tower officially known as Manhattan View MiMA. We would like to thank Kuafu Properties for engaging us as one of three world-class designers! Photographs coming soon...

We are inserting engineered glass walls, spanning 30 feet in height, dividing the existing office building lobby space into a galleria and subtly separating the tenant spaces… completed project to be revealed this summer!

Celebrating the 2016 New Fellows Reception with our partner, Kimberly Sheppard, FAIA at the Center for Architecture Foundation New York

1436 Officially Opens! A glimpse into the two-level 1436 Flagship Store located in the Kerry Center in Beijing, China. The spatial concept has been conceived as an intricate portrait of the world of 1436, combining the intrinsic values of the brand concept of modernity, warmth and relaxed elegance. The space manifests itself as a harmonious frame to focus and highlight the character of the company and the personality of the collection. Additional images to be released soon!

A little background on Silvia:

Architectural and interior designer Silvia Maffei joined the firm in 2010 and was promoted to Associate in 2016. A strong conceptual thinker, Maffei has developed numerous retail design projects for the firm including spatial branding concepts for J Brand, La Perla and Brioni. Maffei served as leading designer for the Beijing flagship store of the luxury cashmere label 1436; she also designed the retail portion of the NBC Lobby and Guest Experience at Rockefeller Center as well as Elena Mirò flagship boutiques in Italy and Moscow. Maffei has also managed construction administration for several residential projects at the firm, and served as project designer for the lobby and public spaces of the Álvaro Siza-designed condominium in New York and a mixed-use development in collaboration with Bjarke Ingels Group. Prior to joining Gabellini Sheppard Associates, Maffei worked in store design for Michael Kors and as a project architect for M Architetti. She also co-founded and designed a line of eyeglasses frames in Italy. Maffei earned a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Florence, a Master in Interior Design from Parsons School of Design, and a Ph.D in Civil Engineering from the University of Pisa. She is a licensed architect in Italy.

Private Residence in the UES, completed in 2000 Photos below are from two months ago... effective design stands the test of time!

We love our luxury projects... but we also care about New York's rising issues of affordable housing problems that have multiplied over the years - paired with bad design and misusage of the ground floor spaces. We support 'Laying the Groundwork' just released earlier in February!

Thank you Art Power Publication!! We are proud to exhibit four of our projects in the Luxury Store Design book: Ports 1961 - New York Ports 1961 - Los Angeles David Yurman Townhouse - New York David Yurman - Beverly Hills
