Jane Street Building Project

Design: David Chipperfield Architects

Location: 11-19 Jane Street, New York, USA

Jane Street House, Greenwich Village

The practice’s most recently completed residential project in New York at 11-19 Jane Street draws inspiration from the rich domestic architecture of Greenwich Village. The six-storey, red brick building replaces a low-rise car park that once interrupted the residential street front.

The new volume negotiates between the scale of the neighbouring buildings and reinforces the identity of this historic district. It comprises two duplex townhouses, lateral apartments, and a penthouse with its own roof garden. The roof terrace and a rear garden are designed by Belgian landscape architect Peter Wirtz, providing a private outdoor space and a connection to nature.

The practice’s approach to residential architecture relies foremost on an intelligent spatial arrangement, elevating the experience of domestic rituals throughout the day, and cultivating a sense of place in relation to the world outside. It concerns not only individual comfort within the private realm but also a positive contribution to the local environment.

David Chipperfield says: “Looking to integrate with its immediate context, the design for this project reinterprets the distinctive residential architecture of the Greenwich Village Historic District, in both material and expression. The natural variation of the handmade elongated brick on the façades and the rhythm of windows adds texture and character that compliments its surroundings and reinforces the identity of the area.”

Elsewhere in New York, final completion is imminent for the practice’s mixed-use tower The Bryant situated on the south-east corner of Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan, and design work continues for the new Rolex building on Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street.
