Horse stable dramatically transformed into a temporary retreat for a photographer

La Birreria
La Birreria, the 15 th floor rooftop bar and restaurant utop Eataly’s Flatiron location, is a dynamic space designed by TPG Architecture.

The restaurant seats 150 and is equipped with a retractable enclosure that allows it to operate year-round. The space was also designed to b... More
