Outstanding Sustainable Design Projects:
Gold Hard Hat Award
280 South Penn, Architectural Workshop Office Remodel
Submitted by Architectural Workshop
The original building at 280 S. Pennsylvania was constructed of masonry and timber in 1933. It served as a local grocery store in the middle of a mixed-use neighborhood. Over the years, it was converted to a multifamily apartment; the storefront was replaced with a false stone-and-stucco façade integrated with small residential windows.
The goal of the project was to restore the historic integrity of the building while giving it new life. Incorporating sustainable features was the highest priority. Finishes and building systems were specially selected to create a healthy and inspiring environment while dramatically reducing the building’s environmental impact. |
