Perched high above the shoreline in one of Asbury Park’s most forward-looking residential towers, the Asbury Park Residence captures the spirit of the Jersey Shore’s ongoing renaissance. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass wrap the apartment, framing sweeping views of the ocean and the town below as it continues to evolve into a vibrant cultural destination.
Studio 8 Architect approached the project with a thoughtful, family-centric sensibility, designing a summer retreat that balances ease, elegance, and functionality. The interiors are deliberately light and airy, allowing the apartment to visually dissolve into the horizon beyond. A continuous, wraparound balcony blurs the line between indoors and out, encouraging a seamless flow that feels both expansive and effortless.
Furniture selections were kept intentionally light in color and visual weight, often lifted off the floor to enhance the sense of openness and flexibility. The result is a space that can effortlessly transition from a serene seaside escape to a lively setting for summer gatherings.
Natural light choreographs daily life within the home: sunrise washes the living spaces in soft morning light, while sunsets settle gently into the bedrooms, anchoring the residence in the rhythms of the coast.

The den was conceived as a highly versatile retreat, seamlessly shifting roles throughout the day. Designed to function equally well as a home office, a guest suite, and an inviting lounge for movie nights, the space balances comfort with intention. Thoughtful furnishings and a restrained palette ensure it feels intimate yet adaptable—an understated refuge where productivity, hospitality, and relaxation coexist with ease.
The primary suite was intentionally kept spare and serene, anchored by a bed and streamlined nightstands that underscore a sense of calm. Simple artwork and a curated scattering of plants introduce subtle texture and warmth, while a discreet desk provides space for occasional work-from-home meetings or moments of quiet focus. The result is a retreat that feels both restorative and purposeful, offering a peaceful counterpoint to the energy of the shore town beyond.
