HERITAGE HALL WAS A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT WITH A PARTNER, ENVISIONED TO UNITE PHILADELPHIA. WHILE MY PARTNER DEVELOPED THE INTERIOR PLANS AND PROGRAM, I FOCUSED ON THE EXTERIOR DESIGN, ENSURING ITS ELEMENTS SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATED WITH THE INTERIOR. TOGETHER, WE CREATED A SPACE THAT BALANCES FUNCTIONALITY WITH AESTHETIC APPEAL AND, CRUCIALLY, HOLDS SIGNIFICANT URBAN IMPORTANCE.
WARREN POCKET
BEFORE THE HOMES APPEAR, THERE IS A PAUSE. WARREN POCKET NESTLES INTO THE STREET LIKE A QUIET PRELUDE—AN INTIMATE GREEN FOLDED BETWEEN WALLS. AT ITS HEART, A FOUNTAIN HUMS GENTLY, DRAWING THE EYE AND EAR INWARD. A MURAL WALL RISES TO ONE SIDE, LAYERED WITH COLOR AND MEMORY, TELLING THE STORY OF THE BLOCK THROUGH BRUSHSTROKES. TREES LEAN IN CLOSE. BENCHES CATCH LIGHT AND SHADOW. IT IS A SPACE FOR GATHERING, FOR BREATHING, FOR GROUNDING—AND THE PERFECT SMALL GESTURE OF WELCOME INSIDE A COLLEGE CAMPUS.

TUCKED INTO THE RHYTHM OF WEST PHILLY, THIS MULTIGENERATIONAL ROWHOME OFFERS A QUIET BALANCE BETWEEN CONNECTION AND RETREAT. THE FIRST FLOOR WELCOMES THE GRANDPARENTS WITH COMFORT AND EASE, WHILE THE SECOND FLOOR RISES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE FAMILY ABOVE. AT THE HEART OF THE HOME, AN INTERIOR COURTYARD BREATHES LIGHT AND LIFE INWARD, ANCHORED BY A LIVING GREEN WALL THAT SHIFTS WITH THE SEASONS. WATERFALL ISLANDS, CUSTOM BUILT-INS, AND WARM MATERIALS BRING ELEGANCE TO THE EVERYDAY. A PRIVATE BACKYARD OFFERS ROOM TO BREATHE, WHILE AN ADJACENT PARK—DESIGNED IN PARALLEL—EXTENDS THE HOME’S PRESENCE INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SOFTENING THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN PRIVATE LIFE AND PUBLIC SPACE.
