The Lively

This mixed-use 18-story tower in the heart of Jersey City’s Powerhouse Arts District features a residential living above a retail and public arts podium. The complementary entry portals define the black box theater and residential portions of the building, which are wrapped in chamfered bronze panels.

A custom white engobe brick was selected for the façade for its durability and warm, residential feel. Its small scale and modularity allowed for flexibility of the façade design within a cohesive framework. The direction for this project was to create a building that was both novel and exciting, and timeless and familiar.
