This week I attended a cocktail party for Design Miami hosted by Ambra Medda at the Bowery Hotel in New York. I also had time to visit The High Line, Manhattan’s newest park, which has been built 30 feet above the city on a stretch of disused 1930’s freight railbed. It’s been transformed by Dutch horticulturalist, Piet Oudolf, with imaginatively planted wild-prairie grasses. The overall vision is the work of Diller Scofidio + Renfro who have thoughtfully included a sundeck and clever seating- with views across the Hudson.
