Gabellini Sheppard Associates LLP

The Gabellini Sheppard Associates approach to design is defined by a specific set of criteria: the unique needs of the individual client and context; the development of a seamless and sophisticated background for the programmatic requirements; and the creation of an aesthetically pristine environment. Working with space and light as sculptural materials, we construct architectural settings that are dramatic in their purity of means. Our firm's signature vocabulary is identified by an essential reductivism, attention to detail, and sensitivity to the intrinsic properties of building materials and location. This "minimal" sensibility evolves not from a predetermined architectural style but, rather, from the intent to design clean, functional spaces that operate as backdrops to what is contained within them. Formal simplicity requires intellectual rigor and aesthetic restraint. The end results are environments that are opulent in the clarity of their spatial resolution.
