“Morpurgo Architects’ contemporary design is known for a sculptural quality that is evidenced in the flowing shapes, overlapping forms, and soaring heights. Morpurgo has characteristically created distinctive spaces that exhibit an interplay of defining light and distinctive volumes.”

Morpurgo Architects transformed a 10,000 sf. Municipal Complex, devoid of light, into a vibrant facility that enhances the lives of the Borough’s seniors.

An atrium, skylights and glass designed to cascade like a waterfall at the building’s corners illuminate the space. We created a joyful environment with a bright palette and innovative modern furniture. The floating ceiling serves as an inverse canopy.

At the opening of the Center, dignitaries lauded our dynamic aesthetics for “setting a new standard for Senior Centers in New Jersey.” A Senator recommended that Mayors throughout the State be encouraged to use our enlightened design as a model.
