Celebrating Growth, Architecture and Interiors Firm JZA+D Acquires, Designs New Headquarters

Even in Princeton, New Jersey, a community steeped in its own history, change is inevitable. Few know that better than the architects and designers of JZA+D who regularly tackle local projects with innovative approaches that blend evolution and tradition. Now the firm has focused on itself, relocating from its studio location of 15 years to a converted house near the town center.

Leaving behind 20 Nassau Street, now the site of a planned 180-key Graduate Hotel, managing partner Joshua Zinder, AIA, LEED AP and partner Mark A. Sullivan, AIA, LEED AP say that the 1,800-square-foot house at 254 Witherspoon Street represents a view of the firm’s future as one with significant potential for continued growth.

“Our entire staff now enjoys access to natural daylight, with more room for informal collaboration and meetings and better parking options for those who drive,” says Zinder. “Importantly, the location is central to the community we live and work in — just a ten-minute walk from the center of town, and surrounded by many of our favorite past and current projects like 30 Maclean, Meeting House Restaurant, and the soon-to-open Nelson Glass House.”
