Filippo Gabbiani

Billy Quimby

Cofounder and Principal Architect
Kokaistudios

Principal and Senior Associate
BAMO

Splitting his time between Venice
and Shanghai, Gabbiani has made a
career of marrying both cultures for
his unique creations. He founded
Kokaistudios in 2000 with partner
Andreas Destefanis, and has lived
in Spain, Toronto, New York, San
Francisco, Denmark, and Hong
Kong before settling in Shanghai,
where his latest hotel, the 15-year
restoration of the Capella Jian Ye
Li, highlighted on page 092, is a
game-changer for the area.

With more than 15 years of
experience, New York native
Quimby joined BAMO in 2000
with a brief stint at Marmol
Radziner before returning to the
San Francisco-based firm in 2008,
where he has worked on many
luxury projects, such as the Four
Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah
Beach, the Peninsula Chicago, and,
most recently, the revamp of the
Ritz-Carlton, Chicago, showcased
on page 036.
