Spring Garden Spring Garden is a 12-story mixed-use residential building that establishes a strong presence in Philadelphia’s burgeoning Northern Liberties neighborhood through an enhanced pedestrian, retail, and living experience. While presenting a contemporary design to the changing neighborhood, the building takes inspiration from the area’s industrial heritage. Articulated windows and masonry brick reveals are framed by dark metal detailing along the façade, with an emphasis on uniformity of materials and native landscaping, further weaving Spring Garden into its urban context. The building brings 14,000 square feet of active retail space to the area, with a generous setback to maximize pedestrian engagement. The focal point of the project is the corner of 5th and Spring Garden streets, which is carved out to provide an opportunity for outdoor cafe seating. To highlight the residential entry, vision glass flows unobstructed from the roof to the street between the brick masonry panels of the north-facing façade. Above, a city-facing residential terrace connects to a lounge space. Nestled within the building’s modified u-shaped massing on the second floor is an expansive 17,000-square-foot outdoor amenity deck for residents,which includes a pool, lounge areas, and grilling stations. Indoors, a consolidated amenity space offers a resident lounge with a co-working space, a catering kitchen, and a fitness center that opens onto its own terrace. The interior design for the project draws from raw elements mixed with upscale materials to create an industrial, yet hospitality feel. Wood finishes, warm stone tile, and bronze accents create a boutique hospitality feel with industrial-reminiscent detailing for a memorable residential experience. Antique patterns give a nod to the past while retaining a modern quality. At the top two floors, glass and darker metal elements crown the building, while a 7,000-square-foot rooftop deck for Spring Garden residents offers expansive views to downtown Philadelphia. Type
