Scheuer House of Coney Island

This senior affordable housing building, managed by the Jewish Association Serving the Aging (JASA), one of NYC’s largest non-profit agencies serving older adults, is dramatically located with ocean views in Coney Island. The 1970’s building required a complete ground floor redesign, in two phases, to provide a more comfortable, functional and contemporary space for seniors to circulate and gather. The community room’s flooring reflects the beach location, weaving blue (water) and beige (sand) to create a bold tartan grid, while the lobby responds with blond wood panels, wavy white tiles and gray driftwood-like wainscot tiling. JASA’s Centers’ mission is to provide activities to encourage seniors stay healthy and engaged. With the extensive renovations, these public spaces have been brought to new life!
