Tradition and modernity in a home bathed in light
The Brief
The Jersey Haven is a 609.83 m² single-family home located in an exclusive residential neighborhood of New Jersey, near prominent schools and surrounded by nature. The project was born with the purpose of combining tradition and modernity, creating a bright, welcoming home fully integrated into its environment. Through the use of noble materials and intelligent spatial organization, the home balances elegance, functionality, and family comfort.
Project Scope
The house is organized around an interior courtyard that serves as a source of natural light and ventilation, visually connecting the three levels. The ground floor houses the living areas—living room, dining room, and open kitchen—designed as a fluid and spacious environment where transparency and the connection to the outdoors take center stage.
The upper level houses the private bedrooms, designed to en
, while the basement features leisure and wellness areas with a view of the garden, maintaining a constant connection with nature.
The exterior architecture combines reinterpreted sloped roofs and spacious porches, evoking the language of traditional American residential design, yet with a contemporary expression based on clean lines and balanced proportions. The materials—natural stone, solid wood, and large glazed surfaces—reinforce the home’s timeless and luminous character.
The result is a home that combines elegance and functionality, where every space is designed to offer comfort, warmth, and a constant connection to light and the landscape.
Between stone, wood, and light, The Jersey Haven reinterprets the American residential tradition with a contemporary language, creating a home where elegance and daily life coexist in harmony.
Ujo+partners was in charge of the entire design and executive project development process. It is currently still in development.
