Corinthian Ave Residence is a single-family residence for a private owner in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia. The project was designed before the pandemic, and has taken some time to reach completion. We are pleased to see that it is finally complete, and are happy to share these images. The palette of materials includes brick, limestone, and a pale gray shou sugi ban (charred wood) rainscreen siding.

We are happy to report that this single-family residence we designed for 1122 Dickinson Street, in the Passyunk Square section of the city, has been approved by the neighborhood association and the Zoning Board of Adjustment. We look forward to seeing construction commence in the spring.

On the Boards: Dickinson Residence. The images attached are from a feasibility study we are working on for a very unusual triangular lot in South Philadelphia. This preliminary design proposes a gated entry courtyard off the main street, allowing the living spaces above to have views into the courtyard. The program consists of a three bedrooms, three and a half baths, a home office, two-car garage, and a sunroom and roof deck with views of the city skyline.
