One Jackson Square rises over subway tunnels on a former parking lot
Kohn Pedersen Fox's glass condominium at 122 Greenwich Avenue went up on an oddly angled lot that was already a parking lot when the Greenwich Village Historic District was designated. The Landmarks Preservation Commission had to approve it because of the district. Because the site sits on top of subway tunnels, piles were driven around them to bedrock, and isolation springs and pads protect the apartments from train vibration. Its curved facade hides the angle where Greenwich Avenue meets Eighth Avenue, and it is 11 floors tall on the Eighth Avenue side but limited to seven on Greenwich Avenue.

One Jackson Square wins a national AIA honor award for architecture
The American Institute of Architects gave its 2011 national Honor Award for Architecture to One Jackson Square, a 30-unit condominium of about 65,000 square feet designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox. Undulating bands of glass form a ribbon of curves along the street wall, and the lobby is clad in bamboo. The project also earned a 2010 merit award from AIA New York State and a 2013 honor award from AIA New York, and it carries LEED Silver certification.
