This Class-A office building in Parsippany, New Jersey, required a refresh of its 7,300-square-foot shared amenities suite, including a café with kitchen and a large flexible conference center.
Previously programmed entirely as a cafeteria, the footprint was too big for the typical number of people in the building. The area lacked lounge seating and exterior views among other needed elements, resulting in an underutilized space.
JZA+D’s design solution transformed the café into an appealing destination for occupants with a variety of seating options and a panoramic view of the landscape outside, while capturing some of the space as a flexible meeting space. This new design enhances the modern aesthetic of the luxury office building and better responds to tenant firm needs.
