Hackettstown, New Jersey

Dr. David Zuckerman was looking to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for his patients while offering the most advanced dental technologies available. From this directive, a design was developed that transformed a single story residential structure into a new high-tech, barrier-free facility equipped with the latest advancements in dental practices.

The exam rooms were fitted with comfortable patient seating as well as ergonomic physician mechanics. Dentist’s tools were strategically placed to provide expeditious use of motion & time. X-ray machines were enclosed in casework between the exam rooms in order to take advantages of shared resources. All the exam rooms feature full height glass walls that present magnificent views of Saxton Falls Hills.

Aging-in-place is a phenomenon which occurs at all seniors housing complexes. Customarily, aged citizens who have become unable to totally care for their own needs have been transferred into a nursing home. Studies have found that most seniors reaching this condition need only minimal assistance rather than total care. Given these accommodations, many seniors can remain active and independent well beyond the time they normally would have been institutionalized.

It was the desire of the Director and members of the Sparta Senior Citizens Board to provide an assisted living facility to serve such a population. In response, HQW Architects designed a new 32-unit assisted care facility. The facility includes amenities such as a common dining room and full commercial kitchen, doctors and nurses offices, personal care room, craft / craft room, walking track, outdoor gathering spaces, television lounge, and enclosed porch.
