After moving to a new home in west Chelsea earlier this year, Scott Murphy and Nick Dine's boutique architecture and interior design firm opted to make its gallery available for private events. The space, which officially opened as Murphy and Dine Gallery on September 16, is comprised of three different areas and, unlike neighboring nightlife haunts Bungalow 8, Cain Luxe, and Pink Elephant, is flooded with natural light.
The main floor is a small but airy studio with 22-foot ceilings, white walls, and wood flooring. This 1,500-square-foot area offers a wall of windows that open onto a private outdoor garden with 1,000 square feet of space. Combined, these two sections have the capacity for 250 guests. Up on the fifth floor is the largest part of the venue—a 5,000-square-foot rooftop terrace with views of the High Line.
In total, Murphy and Dine Gallery holds as many as 450 for receptions in the three combined spaces.
