Jardim—A Tranquil Escape in West Chelsea

by Elliman Editors

July 2021

Looking for your own New York City secret garden? Look no further than Jardim , located in West Chelsea. The Portuguese word for garden, jardim , is the perfect name for this property designed by Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld . We dove into the architecture behind Jardim to find out what makes this new development worth exploring. We couldn’t decide what we liked more—the refined design or the multi-level gardens that offer just the right amount of peace and tranquility. Every residence is conceived as an extension of the outdoors—a full embrace of nature in the heart of West Chelsea. Architecture Overlooking the High Line, Jardim is a residential enclave of just 36 units, ranging from one- to four-bedrooms and with three duplex penthouses, all comprising two towers connected by lush central gardens and stunning amenities. The discreet entrance is a street-level tunnel that runs the breadth of the project, connecting West 27th and West 28th streets, and offers all the benefits of a porte cochère, private entry and personalized parking. Buoyed by the prestige of its high design, Jardim resonates strongly based on the caliber of its West Chelsea location; the exclusivity of its boutique size; the privacy and convenience of its highly-prized driveway arrival experience and parking; its highly considered layouts, complemented by sublimely-crafted interiors on par with individual custom residential commissions; lush gardens; and emphasis on seamless indooroutdoor living. A true collector’s piece, Jardim is the ideal home for design connoisseurs who appreciate the refinement and quality of Weinfeld’s ethos and purchasers looking for a bit of true peace in the hectic city. One with Nature Floor-to-ceiling windows, including “pocket window” systems that span entire walls offer plenty of light, further connecting you to the outdoors. Plus, the lobby’s direct panoramic views onto the interior garden welcome you with a view of mature trees and bushes. This courtyard interior is curated and planted for year-round aesthetics so no matter what the season, you can escape into your own garden. Every residence is conceived as an extension of the outdoors—a full embrace of nature in the heart of West Chelsea. Amenities At Jardim, Weinfeld has designed an inviting brick-vaulted private driveway that connects West 27th and 28th streets, leading to a surprising and bright view upon arrival at the lobby; all part of the unique private world that Weinfeld has envisioned here. One of the foremost designers of spas and pools for contemporary resorts around the world, Weinfeld brought that same attention to Jardim, where a serene pool surrounded by cool terrazzo floors and warm reclaimed old-growth pine walls opens up to the courtyard gardens with rhythmically staggered skylights, suffusing the space with warm sunlight. Additional Amenities Include: 24-hour doorman and concierge Multi-level garden terrace accessed by a stone spiral staircase in the lobby Fully-equipped fitness center and separate movement studio Men’s and women’s locker rooms, each with private steam and sauna Lounge with bespoke furnishings Children’s playroom with catering kitchen 24 storage rooms (all separate rooms with doors, 5×8 and 10×8) Bicycle storage Large laundry room Contact Christopher Salierno , Holly Parker , Frances Katzen , or Steven Cohen for more information.
