560 Palisade Ave - Jersey City Heights

Just completed a renovation to a renovated firehouse turned townhouse in need of some refreshment. The design reworks the living, dining, and powder room on the ground floor, which has one source of natural light in the form of a large skylight above the kitchen area. The client has a large collection of art and books. The conceptual idea was to consolidate the art on one wall and the books along the stair wall, thus anchoring the open-concept space. The side walls include a new kitchen and bar that are materialistically designed (minimally) so that they do not draw attention away from the client’s collection. Capturing the limited natural lighting source was a key factor in the overall design of the space.

Always excellent to have a client that believes in us and asks the right questions in order to achieve the original design intent

RAMADA HOTEL - COVID FRIENDLY DINING ROOM - NEWARK DELAWARE

Tasked with new pandemic friendly parameters, Contextus revamped a dated, hotel dining room. Otherwise known as the “Olive Grill”.

The design solution replaced the buffet area with “grab and go” food service. Dining seating is spaced at 6’-0” apart and set-up for groups of two or less patrons. A new bar area was integrated as an object in the room. In this case, a trailer like box that allows the staff to remain safe behind a plexiglass, shielded window for service.

The overall design included, polished concrete floors, new acoustical ceiling tile, new HVAC diffusers/returns, new feature lighting, new paint, vinyl graphics and new Audio Visual systems.
