Towne Metropolitan, Philadelphia

This 19th century carriage house is now headquarters for a real estate development company, which prizes its open space, ample light and charming architectural details. Its ramshackle state required both complete renovation and a farsighted owner. Opting for character over conformity, this innovative firm now enjoys a flexible workspace that encourages creative interaction blended with the elegant, traditional furnishings that are expressive of its personal tastes.
