My Favorite Things

In a short time, the young British developer Gabriel Chipperfield—son of famed architect David Chipperfield—has established himself as one of London’s ones to watch, thanks to a roster of international projects, which include the renovation of Chiltern Street’s treasured newsstand Shreeji, as well as the design and construction of artist Tracey Emin’s Margate painting-and-sculpting studios and his first hotel venture, the nearby, art-filled Fort Road Hotel. Here, Chipperfield, ever the aesthete, lets AIR MAIL in on his top selections of the moment
