SBLM collaborating with Isay Weinfeld for Jardim


SBLM is thrilled to be collaborating with Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld on Jardim, a new luxury residence located in the thriving corridor of development alongside New York City’s Highline. 

Fueled by the success of the elevated park and greenway, the surrounding West Chelsea neighborhood has been transformed into a portfolio of new work by the world’s leading architects, and we are enthusiastic to keep company with this venerated group.

Jardim boasts a sultry oasis of terraced multi-level gardens, flowering trees, and a stone spiral staircase which will connect the lower reserved sections of the garden to the upper more spacious areas. 

The complex consists of two adjacent eleven-story buildings with a total of 36 units that range from one to four bedrooms. The towers feature indoor and outdoor living areas—both public and private--with balconies and a shared courtyard nestled within the development.



The garden-inspired design continues from exterior to interior, where floor to ceiling windows stretch across the walls, opening the interiors up generous daylight. Skylights in the terrace allow natural light to filter through to the swimming pool and gymnasium beneath. Interior details and finishes, such as smoked oak floors, with grooved, lighter oak accents help bring together the exterior and interior design elements into an elegant whole. 

A unique amenity of the project is a private driveway that runs the entire length of the lot between 27th and 28th streets. The driveway also leads to an underground automated residential parking garage designed by ParkPlus, where residents can enter a code, walk out of their vehicle, and the automated service does the rest. Other amenities include a massage room, fitness center, and an indoor pool. 

At every juncture, Jardim displays a graceful sense of restraint that ushers dramatic tension.

Green Roofs

Soprema, Inc recently visited our office to present green roof systems to SBLM. Green roofs are an excellent way to contribute to environmental sustainability while, in some cases, taking advantage of typically unused space as an amenity. There are two types of green roofs, extensive and intensive, each with their own design considerations and benefits.  Extensive green roofs are of shallow depths and typically consist of hardy planting medium, such as sedum, which require little maintenance and lower excess structural load capacity. Due to its shallow nature, extensive systems are not typically used as an amenity. Conversely, intensive green roofs include much deeper soils which can support grasses, shrubs, trees and, and subsequently, people.  Intensive systems have a higher demand for maintenance and structural load capacity.              Regardless of the type of green roof, the environmental benefits are evident in the ar...

DSNY Staten Island Garage

The office of the New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYC DDC) sent out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the renovation of the District 1 & 3 Garage and Borough Repair Shop located in Fresh Kills Park, Staten Island. In response, SBLM proposed a sustainable and resilient site plan which serves the dual purpose of public space and multi-functional municipal facilities. Background The Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is one of the critical components that comprise the backbone of New York City's vast municipal infrastructure. As the world's largest sanitation department, DSNY is responsible for garbage and recycling collection, street cleaning, snow and ice removal, and clearing abandoned cars and debris and waste from 6,500 miles of city streets. Through parades and placid days, the city of New York is completely dependent on DSNY and their services. DSNY has 60 garages and facilities throughout the five boroughs. The existing facility occupi...
