May is #MentalHealth awareness month! At JZA+D, we recognize the impact our built environments have on our mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. As architects and designers, taking this into consideration when designing new spaces is important to us, because #mentalhealthmatters [Slides 1-2] Center for Anxiety | JZA+D worked with The Center for Anxiety, a mental health practice with multiple locations in NYC and Boston, to convert the second floor of 16 Chambers Street into their new Princeton office. New windows were added to the structure to provide sensory sensitive spaces for clients, and elements of wood and plantings were added to soften the spaces. To attenuate sound issues, the office’s vaulted ceilings were left open in the waiting area, but were lowered over the counseling rooms to create a more intimate environment [Slides 3-4] JAG-ONE Physical Therapy | Looking to open a new downtown Princeton location, JZA+D assisted JAG-ONE into converting a former bank building on Chambers Street into a new physical therapy treatment center. JZA+D optimized the space for natural daylight through renovation of existing skylights and windows to enhance the treatment center's restorative atmosphere. [Slides 5-6] 90 Nassau Office Space | With a primarily remote-based staff, this digital solutions consultant company wanted to renovate the space for meetings with clients. JZA+D created an open office plan for a light and airy feel, utilizing organic curves and glass panels, adding in small huddle rooms, and inserting a green wall in the lobby. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #architecture #healthcare #workplacedesign

ICYMI: Architecture Week Day 7 - Religious ✡️ Our project highlight is the Yakov & Hava Telyas Chabad Jewish Center! • Outstanding Design | Community Centers/Joint-Use Facilities - American School & University Showcase 2023 Sitting on 7.2-acres with two wetland zones and two adjacent streets, the Telyas Chabad Jewish Center was squeezed into the limited buildable space. In addition to the Judaic requirement that the sanctuary face east, the sloped site posed a challenge with allowing direct access outside for the nursery school. With these considerations, the community center needed a strong organizing element, achieved by creating a central forum that the other elements were organized around. The building sits low in the landscape, taking advantage of the slope of the site, while its modern form leverages natural and regionally sensitive materials to fit into the local historic overlay. By inverting the gabled roofline over the sanctuary and social hall, the structure maintains a low profile from the street. The inverted triangle form is reminiscent of the iconic Chabad menorah. This inversion also becomes a design feature in the ceiling of the sanctuary and social hall. In addition to the nursery classrooms, the central library feature and sanctuary are structured to be flexible for educational, communal, and spiritual experiences. • Thank you to everyone for a great #NJArchWeek24 this year and to everyone who participated in our I Spy quizzes on the JZA+D stories! #NJArchWeek #InteriorDesign #ReligiousArchitecture #Synagogue #Chabad #ValueoftheArchitect
