Named "Jardim," the new residential project by Isay Weinfeld in New York is nearing completion. Comprising two towers positioned perpendicularly on a site adjacent to Zaha Hadid's first residential building in the city, the Brazilian firm's project is structurally well advanced, and cladding installation has already begun.
The luxury development spans the entire block between West 27th and West 28th Streets in Chelsea, and will feature 36 residential units ranging from one to four bedrooms, in addition to penthouses. The total built area will be 8,360 square meters.
The two towers differ both in footprint and materials. The south tower, named "Jardim Sul," faces West 27th Street and features two types of exterior cladding: concrete balconies and a brick rear section, where large, slightly offset glazed openings are visible.
Meanwhile, the north building, named "Jardim Norte," features an exterior entirely of concrete and glass. Facing the interior courtyard with its back to the Zaha Hadid project, its facade layout follows a non-systemic pattern, creating misalignments between the large glass expanses and balconies of the 29 units it houses. Both towers will feature abundant greenery on their rooftops.
The project is scheduled for completion in early 2019 and will be Weinfeld's first building in New York.
