On the Boards: 8 Monmouth Street

Posted by SOME Architects, PC



Feeling like a good nosh on a sub? Feeling a little Shaggy? It may not be Mondrian’s “Broadway Boogie-Woogie”, but maybe it’s just a little Monmouth Street Mambo…










When an early 20th Century Classic 3-story building needed to have its monotonous 1960’s storefronts rejuvenated we took a “proportionate approach.” Two narrow storefronts became a theme and variation on the rectilinear frame and panel constraints of the existing façade. Update the finishes to automotive grade “clear-coat” and you’ve got enough charm and punch to get attention in a location that was drab and dull.

Adding an additional level of charm at Red Bank Sub Shop is the urban-oasis dining patio. A peek out the back door and you’ll find yourself outdoors and off the street at your own table for two. Blue sky above, a great simple meal at your table – aaah, that’s a downtown lunch!

Simple graphics. Punchy color scheme. A nice little open roofed dining room. Just enough.
