JARDIM is the first New York project from Brazilian starchitect Isay Weinfeld: two, 11-storey buildings in Manhattan's West Chelsea.

Named after the Portuguese word for garden, the towers feature indoor-outdoor living, with roomy balconies and a shared courtyard, yet these aren't the features that set it apart from nearby projects - at least, according to its developer, Harlan Berger. The killer amenity here seems more prosaic: a private driveway that runs the entire length of the lot between 27th and 28th streets.
