Located on a charming tree lined ‘cart street’ in the Logan Square neighborhood, the street elevation, including historic wood windows and mansard roof, were restored to the standards of the Philadelphia Historical Commission. On the 1850 sf interior, elements with historic character were celebrated and juxtaposed against a light-filled contemporary addition clad in Atlantic white cedar. The kitchen that opens to a redesigned rear garden that provides additional outdoor living spaces. The project has been featured by Dwell and in Philadelphia Magazine.
