We're realizing a design in North Jersey comprised of 25 one, two and three bedroom affordable walk-up apartments with a common community space. Perched on a site with steep grading conditions, the design considers a strong approach at the corner and scales back in proportion along the front facade. This strategy poses a modest intervention geographically whilst retaining density.

We’re wrapping up at the Landing at Poplar Grove in Moorestown, NJ. This has been one of our largest projects with 14 buildings and 152 units - 50% market rate, 50% affordable.

Some beautiful shots of Five 85 West in Perth Amboy!

This residential community brings a mix of modern apartments and townhomes to Sayre Avenue with high-designed interiors spaces for luxury style living.

As part of the Gateway Redevelopment Zone, the project reflects our commitment to creating vibrant, livable spaces that respond to the city’s revitalization efforts. With 117 residences—including one- and two-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom townhomes, and lofts—Five 85 West balances urban convenience with thoughtful, human-centered design.

It’s inspiring to see the design take shape on site, contributing to Perth Amboy’s growing momentum as a connected, thriving community.

Nyckel Apartments is one of our new mixed-use, multi-family developments located in the heart of historic Swedesboro, New Jersey. The project includes 73 residential units and six commercial spaces distributed across two buildings in the center of downtown.

Named after one of the first ships that brought Swedish settlers to the region, the Nyckel draws inspiration from Swedesboro’s deep historical roots. Surrounded by a rich and varied historic building stock along Kings Highway, the design carefully responds to its context. The goal was to blend seamlessly with the existing streetscape while introducing a clean, modern architectural expression.

The result is a development that respects the scale, rhythm, and character of the historic facades while offering contemporary living and commercial spaces that support the vitality of downtown.

With the occasional opportunity to design a detached single family home, we love to push the boundaries of the typical NJ suburban home. Here we created a complex composition in the facade by playing around with form and material.
