NEW HEIGHTS
Three bold projects push the boundaries of sustainability
As commitments to sustainability continue to soar in settings that
transcend the conventional wellness sphere, the concept of holistic design
is evolving into something more resilient, whether by ramping up energy
conservation or revitalizing landscapes to enhance living conditions.
These ambitious projects and concepts-a mix of hospitality, residential,
and urban developments-are sparking powerful relationships with
communities through healthy, creatively built environments.
Little Island

Once a hub for ritzy ocean liners, Pier 55, located on the Hudson River,
was severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Soon, the rebuilt
waterfront site will open adjacent to New York's Meatpacking District as
the decidedly more democratic Little Island, an initiative of businessmanphilanthropist Barry Diller and the Hudson River Park Trust.
Designed by London's Heatherwick Studio and locally based
Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects (MNLA), Litt le Island
brings together a meandering park and botanical garden with a
smatt ering of outdoor performance venues. " This important role of
nature is something we've been exploring on many of our projects, "
says Mat Cash, partner and group leader at Heatherwick Studio.
" More than making people feel bett er, there is science that shows
nature has important restorative effects. "
To instill this feeling at Litt le Island, a bridge transitions
visitors from the shore to the floating retreat, which is propped up
on 132 sculpted concrete columns of differing heights, their shapes
reminiscent of coupe glasses. Heatherwick Studio founder Thomas
Heatherwick was initially struck by the wooden remnants of piers
jutt ing out from the river that hinted at New York's industrial
past, and that image compelled him and his team to envision Litt le
Island's topography as a rising, undulating patchwork of planters.
Within, MNLA stitched together a landscape of seating lawns,
sloping hills, and hundreds of trees, shrubs, and grasses.
" While our studio certainly didn't foresee the pandemic when
we designed the concept, " says Cash, " the completion of Litt le Island
is timely in a period when many city dwellers crave green space. "
