Lobby and Rooftop Garden

Client: JLL

Summary: SIGMA7 transformed Jones Lang LaSalle's historic building at 200 Lafayette Street by re-purposing an unused rooftop into a vibrant garden and modernizing the dated lobby. The improvements enhancing the building’s appeal and functionality, while providing an amenity enjoyed by all tenants and their visitors for meetings, breaks, and after-hour functions. This project not only revitalizes the space but adds value to the property by providing an attractive amenity for current and potential tenants.

Atop a historic building in Soho, the rooftop garden at 200 Lafayette Street, designed by SIGMA7, is a significant enhancement to the building. It provides a space where tenants and visitors can enjoy the outdoors and the stunning Manhattan skyline.

The garden is equipped with new pavers, wooden duck boards, furniture, planters, flowers, and greenery, creating a serene environment for breaks, meetings, and after-hour events. Seating areas are subdivided with trellises and planters, featuring a mix of seasonal annuals and perennials, evergreen shrubs, and slatted fencing providing framed views of the skyline of lower Manhattan while cleverly screening the rooftop mechanical equipment. This serene oasis can comfortably accommodate over 100 occupants for a wide variety of meetings, events, and special celebrations or a quiet afternoon break enjoying the sun and solitude.

The lobby was completely redesigned and updated from floor to ceiling, with a new security/concierge desk, seating, furniture, furnishings, finishes, and lighting fixtures to create a welcoming atmosphere for all.
