37 Hillside Senior Affordable Passive House Community
Manhattan, New York, NY, United States
37 Hillside is inspired by the distinctive topography into which it
nestles – the craggy, dramatic Manhattan schist outcroppings, steep canyons, and ever-changing color palette of Fort Tryon Park, adjacent. How rare to get a dense urban site so informed by nature and topography; we felt compelled to celebrate this condition and design a new community that both fits in and stands out of its hilly, brick-lined Inwood neighborhood, as the first of a multi-phase 100% affordable new community development.
The building’s exterior is both minimalist poetry and playful
urbanity. It’s the urban mullet: business in the front; party in the
back. The street façade is a studied, tailored composition of
punched openings within an elegant and unexpected field of
standing seam copper, standing boldly against its brick brethren as a metaphor for aging gracefully – an example of how we can allow our own patinas to evolve and show our true selves, beautifully and honestly. We were able to convince NYC HPD, the city’s governing housing agency, that we could squeeze a copper façade into the tight budget, and make it pay off.
AiF has pushed the programming of shared, communal spaces
meant to encourage social activities among the residents with
a ground floor lobby that contains a community café, a lending
library, a community demo kitchen for classes and demonstrations, and a multi-purpose community room. The entry lobby was conceived as a library/co-working space, where residents can check out books and current periodicals, encouraging chance encounters and forging new rituals and relationships. Shared activity rooms can function for cooking classes, shared meals, yoga, and dance classes.
