TEMPLE COURT LANDMARK BUILDING Park Place, Manhattan Developer: Shire Realty Design: John Petrarca AIA This real estate project in lower Manhattan is an experimental redevelopment project which attempts to combine commercial and residential use within the context of a socially and environmentally responsible building. Constructed in 1881 and designed by Silliman and Farnsworth, Temple Court has been designated a Landmark Building by the city of New York. It has been called “the earliest surviving, essentially unaltered, tall ’fireproof’ New York office building of the period prior to the full development of the skyscraper” by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Our contributions included an assessment of uses and functions, extensive collaboration with the architectural team, multiple Feng Shui cures, an earth healing, and blessings, as well as an overview of the management team and its organizational structure. Feng shui considerations were included in all phases of the project, from the initial assessment of the building envelope, to the placement of functions and equipment within the structure, as well as the selection of materials and colors. |
