By Isay Weinfeld BY ISAY WEINFELD THE PORTUGUESE WORD FOR GARDEN— Jardim—is a fitting name for this private residential enclave overlooking the natural flora of the High Line’s elevated parkland. Designed by celebrated Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld, two elegantly understated towers, Jardim Norte and Jardim Sul, open to the sun and sky. Lush and tranquil multilevel courtyard gardens are contemplative focal points for Jardim’s 36 one-to-four-bedroom residences.

Barreneche, The New York Times I SAY WEINFELD BRAZIL-BASED ISAY WEINFELD is a global architect with international appeal. Elegant private residences, luxurious hotels and chic, stylish restaurants across South America, Europe, the Caribbean and the United States—as well as furniture and decorative objects sold in the finest galleries in London, New York and São Paulo—embody Weinfeld’s timeless Modernist sensibility. Warm, sensuous materials, meticulous detailing and exquisite proportions are the hallmarks of Weinfeld’s style. Jardim brings an unprecedented architectural panache to the city: bold Brazilian design meets classic Manhattan living. “I have always thought of Jardim as a refined and elegant building that would speak softly.” DESIGNED BY WEINFELD in collaboration with the cutting-edge New York landscape architecture firm Future Green Studio, Jardim’s private gardens are about more than just views. With broad floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious terraces integrated with indoor living areas, Jardim’s residences are designed as a full embrace of nature in the heart of West Chelsea. “I have always thought of Jardim as a refined and elegant building that would speak softly,” says Weinfeld of his debut ground-up New York project. “I’m not into sculptural architecture. The idea of doing something simple yet strong is what moves me.” Jardim Norte | Artist Rendering JARDIM’S NAMESAKE GARDENS are much more than a landscaped courtyard Two buildings create between two buildings. Uniquely situated on a full West Chelsea block spanning from west 27th to west 28th streets with entrances on both a walled garden... thoroughfares, Jardim is conceived as a pair of distinctive towers framing an ultra-private urban park. The gardens envelop and engage Jardim Norte and Jardim Sul, echoing the urban parkland of the High Line just yards to the east.

THE HIGH LINE A POETIC APPROACH Weinfeld’s architecture reveals a flair for the dramatic and the unexpected. He treats circulation like choreography, orchestrating the experience of approaching and entering his buildings with the sensibility of a movie director. Private Entry | Artist Rendering “I try to direct the emotions that people will At Jardim, a mysterious and inviting brick-vaulted private drive connects west 27th and 28th streets, leading to a surprising have in a space,” explains Weinfeld. “And I like and bright view upon arrival at the lobby; through a latticed wall, the unexpected.

  • Chapter 2: Land Use, Zoning and Public Policy
    Special West Chelsea District Rezoning and High Line Open Space EIS CHAPTER 2: LAND USE, ZONING, AND PUBLIC POLICY A. INTRODUCTION The proposed action would not result in significant adverse land use impacts and would be consistent with zoning and public policies in West Chelsea and adjacent areas. A detailed assessment of land use, zoning, and public policy is appropriate if an action would result in a significant change in land use or would substantially affect regulations or policies governing land use. The proposed action would result in substantial land use changes on Tenth and Eleventh Avenues, between W. 16th and W. 22nd Streets and W. 24th and W. 30th Streets. West Chelsea is currently occupied by art galleries, parking lots, auto-repair facilities, manufacturing and storage uses, and bars and nightclubs. By 2013, with the proposed action, West Chelsea would be transformed into a mixed-use community, with much of the area occupied by primarily residential buildings with commercial, including retail and gallery uses, community facilities such as museums and a new linear open space on the High Line. While the anticipated changes are significant, they are not expected to result in significant adverse land use impacts. In recent years, the adjacent Chelsea neighborhood east of Tenth Avenue has experienced an increase in residential development, in the form of new construction and conversions and enlargements of existing buildings. Similarly, the northwest corner of the West Village, directly south of West Chelsea has experienced a rise in residential and commercial redevelopment, as former industrial buildings have converted to residential and commercial uses.

Often a building is expected to fulfill goals beyond its program — recruiting and retaining the best student and faculty talent, reinventing campus identity, and welcoming community and business partnerships, to name a few. In response to evolving pedagogical models and technology, an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study and research, and the transformation of many campuses We are constantly engaging with clients and end-users into living-learning environments, a more intensive, more flexible, and more for a truly collaborative process. creative approach to academic design is required.
