The addition of 37,000 SF to the existing elementary school building provides better vehicular access, separate from the school entrance, administration and registration. A combination of community use and academic spaces were designed to integrate numerous state-of-the-art design, technology, security and mechanical system features. The project was designed and built to meet LEED Silver sustainability standards.

AKA HOTEL FACADE + INTERIOR RENOVATION
ARCHITECTS: STANEV POTTS ARCHITECTS
COMPLETED: APRIL 2019
ROLE: DESIGNER + PROJECT MANAGER
The hotel renovation consisted of a complete lobby refresh and a new facade entrance that is now more consistent with the historic architecture of the 1913 building. A ten foot deep, cantilevered canopy with signage now greets its users from afar and brings more presence to the streetscape.
The interior of the lobby has a minimal, but bold aesthetic that now has better flow for those staying at the hotel. A fifteen foot high by five foot wide moss wall balances the crisp black and white finishes and greets guests as a focal point at the main entrance.
Renovating the existing hotel included a preliminary process of obtaining approvals from multiple departments in the city of Philadelphia, which included presentations to both the Philadelphia Historic Commission Board and the Philadelphia Art Commission.
