Architect Jonathan Felsman, who coined the term Jefferson Street Artwalk, designed this exciting project at the corner of South Jefferson and Freeman Streets. Here’s how he describes the design: With 8 residential units, 3 arts related retail units, and an open courtyard with direct outdoor access to the street, this project complements the scale and use of existing buildings on Freeman Street. It also lays the cornerstone for the much more ambitious Jefferson Artwalk Development Program. The project’s profile, and, its use of ribbed metal siding and color, reflect a modern sensibility connected to the area’s recent past, while at the same time providing direction for its future. Ambitious in concept but simple in form, it celebrates the corner and animates the beginning of a Jefferson Street promenade. Its wider pedestrian sidewalk planted with shades trees, its pulling back from the corner, its breezeway to an open landscaped and art filled courtyard, and, its many retail and residential entry points, gives this project the visual and programmatic complexity required for a successful semi-urban development. Its lot line courtyard façade is seen by thousands of railway passengers each day. It provides the perfect canvas or billboard for an art project that has the potential to put Orange on the cultural map of the New York metropolitan area.
