What can I say - architecture is in my DNA. I’m rooted in South Jersey amidst historical homes located in charming small towns with bustling main streets and mid-century modern homes checkered throughout the suburban sprawl that has taken over every last acre of what was once farmland. Additions and renovations, along with the occasional new construction project, comprise the majority of my workload, which involves a delicate dance between client wants, needs and expectations, the surrounding community, local landscape and rigorous, if sometimes arbitrary, planning and zoning regulations. I love it all - the people, the place and the challenges. And I love sharing my perspective - a window, if you will, into my mind, with you.
HADDONFIELD AUTHENTIC
Welcome to the place I love, Haddonfield, New Jersey! Here at Jay Reinert Architect, our focus lies beyond the micro scale of a home, because we understand that our lives and the homes we live in contribute to the culture of a community. To make reasonable, beautiful design decisions, we need to consider all of the essential aspects of what makes a community: the people, architecture, landscape, town planning, and so much more. With Haddonfield Authentic, I will take you along in my exploration of “place” in the hopes of sharing how original design decisions have influenced my perception of Haddonfield and the values of those who shape it.
