HPD Design Guidelines for New Construction Revised August 1, 2000
HPD Design Guidelines for New Construction
HPD has outlined a set of design principles and guidelines to foster quality andencourage creative approaches throughout the entire design development process. Thedesign guidelines apply to all new construction housing projects subject to HPD review
and approval.
The purpose of these guidelines is to establish minimum criteria for the design of qualityhousing. These guidelines are not intended to supersede the requirements of any otherrules or regulations of any other agency having jurisdiction, in which case the morerestrictive will govern.
Other agency rules and regulations may include but are not limited to New York CityBuilding Code; Housing Maintenance Code; Zoning Resolution; Local Law 58 HandicapStandards, and particular program requirements. Also, projects must meet Federal,State, and City environmental laws, including those pertaining to: historic preservation;air, water, and noise quality; flood plain, wetland and coastal zone management; and
solid waste management.
Guidelines using the word, must, are mandatory. However, the word, should, is advisoryand minor deviations from the guidelines will be allowed if necessary to accommodate aclearly superior design. Substantial deviations from the advisory guidelines maydisqualify proposals.
I. SITE PLANNING
A. Relationship to Neighborhood1. When applicable, the height of a new building should relate to the
prevailing heights of the existing buildings in the immediate neighborhood.
The street wall and faade materials of any new building should visuallyand physically harmonize with the immediate neighborhood.
2. The design should be pedestrian friendly and provide architecturalelements that generate activity, interest and interaction at the street level,such as stoops, porches, setbacks, bay windows, etc.
B. Outdoor Space1. A variety of outdoor spaces should be programmed and landscaped for
specific uses according to the projects intended population, e.g.
If provided, front yards should be appropriately landscaped.
toddler play area with matting and safe equipment
infrastructure for tenant gardens
seating and game tables in the shade2. Outdoor spaces must be buffered from vehicular service areas.3. Wherever possible, windows should be located to insure surveillance of
public and private outdoor spaces.4. A secure barrier, such as the building or a steel picket fence (chain link
fence is not acceptable along the street), should protect the perimeter ofthe site. The number of entry points into a building or project site should beminimized.

HPD Design Guidelines for New Construction Revised August 1, 2000
5. Street trees must be provided along the street frontage as per the NYCdepartment of Parks and Recreation and the NYC Department ofTransportation standards.
C. Street Facade/Building Elevation1. The faade materials of all new buildings should be compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. Brick should be used in neighborhoods with apredominantly brick character.
2. Dimensions and spacing of fenestration should echo neighborhoodpatterns and maximize daylight into the unit.
3. Color, texture, material, and fenestration should be used to:
relate to adjacent buildings
define the base, middle, and top of buildings
reinforce the human scale at the base level
D. Parking1. Parking should be shielded from the street and from on-site open spaces.
Trees should provide a canopy over the parking areas.2. If a large number of parking spaces is needed, consideration should be
given to parking below grade.3. Front pad parking should be avoided.
II. BUILDING PLANNING
A. Lobby1. The lobby should be treated as an attractive and gracious space with
materials and furnishings that are attractive, durable, and easy tomaintain.
2. The lobby should be undisrupted by other elements, i.e.
garbage removal should not pass through the lobby
the compactor chute should not open into the lobby
janitors closet and fire stair should not be visible.3. If a mailroom is provided, it should be located in an area that is visible and
accessible from the lobby.4. Natural light should be maximized, and if possible, a view of the exterior
landscaped space should be exploited.5. The primary vertical circulation/elevator should be visible and accessible
from the lobby.6. The lobby should be visible from the street to insure security. Main
residential entry should be clearly articulated and differentiated from
commercial/retail entry.7. Entry from the projects open space, the parking area, and the sidewalkshould lead directly into the same lobby.
B. Interior Circulation1. Public circulation space should be minimized.2. The interior circulation system should have a minimal number of changes
in corridor direction and minimal recesses or offsets.

C. Community Spaces
1. A variety of community spaces should be programmed for specific usesand sized accordingly with appropriate finishes and furnishings, e.g.
childrens indoor play room with safe and durable play equipment andplayful finishes
party room or adult lounge with comfortable furniture, T.V.,bar/kitchenette, in close proximity to laundry room
exercise room with ventilation and natural light
common laundry room conveniently located and directly accessiblefrom the public circulation. In 1 to 3 family houses, provide laundryhook-up for the homeowner.
2. All community spaces should receive natural light and have direct physicaland visual access to the outdoor recreation space.
3. Appropriate relationships between community spaces should be fostered.
D. Building Services1. Janitor closets should be provided with slop sinks.2. Provide vandal/frost-proof hose bibb at front and rear of building.3. Provide trash chutes, recycling room, and trash compactor in elevator
buildings with 30 or more dwelling units.4. The compactor room should be located for convenient transport of
compacted refuse to the outside, minimizing transportation of garbagethrough the buildings circulation space or across outdoor space.
5. Curb-side storage space for refuse/recycling pick-up should be providedand screened from the sidewalk, street, and building entrance.
III. APARTMENT PLANNING
A. Unit Arrangement1. There must be no circulation through bedrooms to other bedrooms or to
primary bathrooms. Bathrooms should be near the bedrooms.Bathrooms must not open into the Living Room, Dining Room, or Kitchen.Circulation through the Living Room should be avoided.
2. All door placements and wall lengths should accommodate furnitureplacement.
