Heath Village - Dining Renovations
Hackettstown, NJ
The existing Heath Village dining room and lobby waiting area were inward looking with no views of the mountainous setting, daylighting was poor, and the outdoor living area was confined to a small courtyard that was usable only by a few, and only on nice days.
Our design goals were to increase opportunities for socializing, provide a choice of dining options, let in more daylight, open up the views of the mountain, and create all-season outdoor living spaces.
The design was realized by removing two small residential buildings to open the view and allow for outdoor living features. This includes converting one residential unit to a game room, renovating the dining rooms to create separate venues including display cooking and a pub, and expanding the dining lobby to a pre-function lounge. The outdoor living area includes porches with ceiling fans and radiant heaters, a pond, fire pits and an activity lawn.
The completed project now provides an active, visually rich and comfortable focus for the community.
