GARDEN STREET LOFTS, HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY

CLIENT OVERVIEW: Garden Street Lofts weave together environmentally friendly strategies with brilliant modern design by ShoP Architects and advanced engineering by Buro Happold. Its re-use of the existing building is perhaps the ultimate in recycling. A sedum-covered green roof will reduce the heat island effect and insulate the building, as well as absorb rainwater runoff. In addition, the building will be buying power from wind and other alternative energy sources. This combined effort toward sustainable living will yield one of New Jersey's first LEED-certified green residential buildings.

PROJECT BRIEF: We designed and built 3 FSC-Certified white oak pieces for the main lobby – an entry console, media cabinet and coffee table. All were finished in pure Tong Oil and Beeswax.
