A registered architect in the states of New York and Nevada, and a fellow of the American Institute of Architects, Gabellini earned his bachelor’s degree of fine arts and bachelor’s degree of architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design. He also studied at the Architectural Association in London and conducted extensive architectural research in Rome.
In addition to his studio work, Gabellini has lectured and taught design studios at numerous academic institutions. He received the 2006 National Design Award in Interior Design from the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum; the Progressive Architecture Award; and is recognized in the Interior Design Hall of Fame.
