Bennetts Mills

JKRP renovated 760 linear feet of retail space at the Bennetts Mills shopping center in Jackson, NJ.

We decided to break up the facade with vertical towers and black screens using a limited material palette […]

Green Leaf at Cheltenham

Cheltenham Mall opened in 1959 to much acclaim and has changed its look many times since then to adapt to changing shopping habits.
