a visionary focused on transforming space to place
BROOK 35 & WEST PLAZA REMODEL
Project Goal
The overall goal of the Brook 35 & West Plaza remodel was to give the plaza an modern coastal look, and improve how the spaces function.
The aesthetic refresh drew inspiration from the "coastal shore" feel of surrounding geography.
The finishes were to be organic and neutral with nautical nuances to highlight Sea Girt NJ's heritage.
The function of the spaces were updated to be activated with visitors and tenants by introducing pockets of improved outdoor seating, and offering flex spaces. The updated outdoor seating was proposed to create more comfortable patio environments with an emphasis on outdoor dining. Flexible areas were created so tenants and visitors could activate the space for work shops, work out classes, live music or events.
