The Greenwich Lane

FXCollaborative is the architect for the redevelopment of the historic St. Vincent's Hospital Campus. The site is located within the Greenwich Village Historic District and the design for the site received approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The negotiated process identified key buildings for preservation and adaptive reuse based on historical and architectural merit. The multi-building plan combines new structures with existing buildings, honoring the scale and heritage of Greenwich Village and the historic legacy of the hospital. The redevelopment plan comprises a variety of building types, including a high-rise tower to anchor Seventh Avenue, several mid-rise buildings on 11th and 12th Street, and five new townhouses. Finely crafted apartment layouts take full advantage of the many unique conditions generated by the multi-building plan. The design weaves new and old together using an architectural vocabulary inspired by the Village including brick, stone, metal trim and vertically proportioned windows.
