Condominium Apartment — The Barclay, Philadelphia

In this apartment, the key challenge was providing a contemporary open plan to respond to unique requirements starting from an L shaped collection of hotel rooms with no internal circulation plan. Additionally, the owners specified that the home office, kitchen, and master bedroom should each be located at one of the three corners of the building, further extending the floor plan. The kitchen occupies a former hotel room and includes a cooking island, large sink, Surell counters, and a large pantry and service room adjacent. The master bath includes a separate stone, tile, and glass shower, an island tub with a jacuzzi, and a wall mounted European toilet. The project has a subtle paint scheme that distinguishes outer walls from inner walls, partial restoration of plasterwork and floors, and multi-unit heat pump scheme to provide redundant back up of systems and the least possible impact of ductwork on ceiling heights and layouts.
