950 Marlborough Street is one step closer to reality. This multifamily project just received support from the Fishtown Neighborhood Association and is heading to the Zoning Board for final approval. As part of @pcginvestmentNorth Delaware Avenue development efforts, these two buildings will bring 86 new units to the area. Designed to create a cohesive streetscape, both buildings will feature a unified material palette, exterior details, and a shared public plaza at Marlborough & E. Allen St. anchoring the intersection for a campus-like feel. Stay tuned to watch this project take shape.

His advice for aspiring architects? “Always keep an open attitude toward learning”.

A doorway is more than just a point of entry—it’s a moment of transition that bridges the outside world to the space within. They offer structure and functionality while serving as the first impression, introducing the architectural narrative of a home. A well-designed entryway creates flow, blending form and function in a way that feels effortless. From elegant arches steeped in history to bold, modern frames with clean lines, doorways are an opportunity for expression. They can establish a connection to the past or embrace contemporary minimalism, shaping the character of a building with each detail. Doorways remind us that even small design choices have the power to transform how we experience space.

Here’s a first look at the plans for our latest project. Set on a historic property outside New Hope, PA, our design honors the character of the original farmhouse and barn while introducing a modern single-family residence. The new home is tucked behind the existing farmhouse and connected via a glassy solarium. The historic structures will take on new life as a poolhouse, guest suites, and office spaces, designed as a series of interconnected nodes. Each space frames views of the surrounding landscape, and gabled roofs, dormers, and porches pay homage to the property’s historic roots, creating a seamless blend of tradition and contemporary living.

Construction progress in Bryn Mawr is moving right along. Every detail of 913 Drexel Ln. blends modern lines with timeless elements, creating a home that feels both fresh and rooted in the classic character of the Main Line. The interiors have been thoughtfully designed in collaboration with @far_studios to compliment the space - stay tuned as we bring it all together.

Every corner of this property has a story to tell. From intricate built-ins and original hardware to vintage wallpaper and paint colors, our latest project in New Hope, PA is filled with character. These elements tell a story of the past, and we’re excited to let them guide and inspire the restoration and design of this property. We can’t wait to share our plans with you so stay tuned to see what we have in store.
