PARKER JEWISH INSTITUTE - 2 NORTH
LOCATION: NEW HYDE PARK, NY
SIZE: 300,000 SF
FIRM: TOBIN | PARNES DESIGN
Parker Jewish Institute, a healthcare facility located in New Hyde Park, NY went through a major renovation. 2-North will be the new senior home facility within Parker. The goal was to layer a variety of finishes that would ease the transition between different programmatic areas (dining room, family room, solarium, team room, resident rooms and spa) and still provide clear way-finding with a sense of welcome and exploration.
Clearly defined floor and ceiling details work together to create an inherent way-finding system while still providing a modest level of excitement.
The selection of various warm woods throughout was used, not only to continue the design language developed throughout the entire facility, but to enhance Parker’s emphasis on providing culturally enriched living and its commitment to its staff and residents.
Overall, the environment and ambiance was designed to reflect Parker’s humanistic and reassuring mission of promoting wellness, modern health care design principles, and ongoing evidence based research.
