After dropping these lovelies off for a fundraiser at the Chelsea Market, Littlest Pheasant and I popped up to the Highline for a quick stroll. Having worked for the architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro who co-designed it with Field Operations - it was extra special for me to experience it finished. I was privy to seeing it on paper first. It's amazing how the initial renderings looked so much like the finished product! All those years of hard work on their part has really paid off. What an incredible addition to New York City's public spaces. You all must go for a visit.

It was your architects who did it? The park looks amazing. We are thinking about organizing a family picnic there.
yes! go on a weekday if possible. I should add I cut Ruby's bangs after seeing this pic ;)
So funny! John and I strolled through last week and I thought about how I wanted our wedding to look like the Highline! The landscaping is natural and fantastic,they did an amazing job. Your Little Pheasant is super cute!
except it wasn't just the architect (DSR) that designed it- in fact the design was a collaboration between the landscape architecture firm James Corner-Field Operations and Diller Scofidio & Renfro
Anonymous, you are absolutely right! I think technically DS+R were the subs to James Corner. My oversight. A great collaboration.
