Developed, designed, constructed and property managed by DDG, 41 BOND is a small, boutique residential building situated in Manhattan’s exclusive Noho district, steps away from Soho, Greenwich Village, the East Village, and Nolita. The 8-story luxury residential building occupies a prime spot in the historic neighborhood, the only new development on the block to be fully comprised of floor-through residences. Consisting of full floor and duplex condominium homes, each offers open living spaces with abundant natural light and private outdoor space. All units sold within a month.

“The elegant residences consist of townhomes with landscaped backyards, floor-through residences and duplexes with extensive landscaped exteriors. Each residence features a 50-foot long great room with fireplace, enclosed by a south facing 11-foot high sliding glass wall, engineered and crafted in Europe. Accessed beyond the walls of glass are 32-foot long landscaped terraces. The project contains an innovative green roof design helping to reduce energy consumption and storm-water runoff,” (DDG).

Working on an interdisciplinary team led by DDG, Future Green Studio provided landscape design and installation for the building façade, entrance canopy, a rear garden, a patio garden, extensive green roof and several landscaped terraces. Each of these pieces was carefully articulated to be seamlessly interwoven with the architecture rather than functioning as separate, disparate elements. In addition to the green roof system, sustainability measures also include an irrigated exterior planter system and green marquee and terrace screens. The architect of record, H. Thomas O’Hara Architect (HTO Architect), worked out the integration of water and plant growth into the masonry construction, as well as the permitting necessary throughout the project.

The building’s façade is handcrafted in native Pennsylvania bluestone, echoing the materiality of the historic neighborhood. Planters integrated into the stone of the windows were inspired by a trip to the quarry where pioneering vegetation had taken root in striated layers of rock. The entrance is punctuated by a planted canopy; masses of finely textured perennials spill over the sides, softening the clean, hard lines of the steel. A combination of soft textures and vibrant greens in the planting palette creates a brilliant contrast against the strong horizontal architectural lines of the native stone.

“The planting scheme emphasizes texture and form, mixing a contemporary with a fancifully rugged style. For the balcony gardens, given the intimacy of the outdoor and living space, the plantings perform in concert with the décor throughout all the seasons,” (Archinect Project Profile).

At the ground floor, a planted loggia screens the interior of the building from passers-by. The loggia takes on the form of a grotto with stacked stone walls inter-panted with grasses and groundcovers. The vertical plane is activated by large vines climbing stainless steel cables.

On the private terraces, a mix of wild yet sophisticated flowers and grasses was selected with a focus on texture, form and seasonality, in order to provide a dynamic view from within that maintains interest year-round. At the penthouse, extensive areas of green roof reduce energy consumption, mitigate stormwater runoff and provide a verdant retreat for residents.
