The Jewish Association for the Aging, (JASA), provides Older Adult Centers throughout New York City for adults 60 years and older seeking group activities, special events, company or a hot meal. JASA’s Centers’ mission is to provide activities to encourage seniors stay healthy and engaged.  Heim Architect is renovating their Center located in Coney Island by upgrading finishes and fixtures.  Numerous patterns and color palettes were explored for the flooring design.  The selected color palette and pattern reflects the beach location by weaving blue (water) and beige (sand) to create a bold tartan grid.  The scope includes not only replacing the flooring but also providing a new and efficient pantry and storage area.  In 2023, Heim Architect completed the extensive lobby renovation at this location.  It is gratifying to return to complete the remainder of the ground floor redesign to provide a comfortable, functional and more contemporary space for seniors to gather.
