Gallerist Marianne Boesky lives above her West Chelsea gallery in a space designed by architect Deborah Berke — and she's adjacent to the Highline. She hired landscape designer Paula Hayes to create some privacy and New York Magazine gives us a peek...
Paula Hayes' specialty is giving very urban spaces a naturalist look — for the 2,400 square foot terrace she commissioned a driftwood fence from Mark Wilsonoutdoor space, and added lots of fruit trees to the more common wisteria and ivy.

This is so out of my league that I actually find it boring. The mere words '2,400 square foot terrace' make me yawn with envy.

i wish there were more pictures when you click over to ny magazine, I can't really get a sense of the space, or how close it is to highline

I wasn't aware that "West Chelsea" was a distinction in and of itself. Is that a way to make 11th Avenue sound nicer?

"Gallerist"?
I realise the word is a neologism from the article itself, but really, Aaron, you shouldn't be encouraging these people.
While I like the idea of the driftwood fence, it'd be difficult to pull it off outside a designer setting. And I imagine that it would be a perfect habitat for many-legged creatures.
