Studio Tower

LOCATION: CENTER CITY PHILADELPHIA

YEAR: SPRING 2020

INSTRUCTOR: ANDREW MOROZ

The Studio Tower is the third building that makes up the Media plaza at 16th and Spruce streets in south west Philadelphia. The facade is made up of dark gray, slightly reflective panels that resemble the other buildings located on the site, forming a sense of unity. The tower features a double skin facade on the south and south-east facades of all five studio levels. Each individual, private studio spaces feature a storage closet, bathroom, kitchen, and space for a bed on the mezzanine. The mezzanine is accessed by a spiral staircase, providing a compact way up without taking away from the studio space below. The roof of the building features a garden space with a pergola, providing artists a nice place to reconnect with nature without having to leave the city.
