Center City Working Kitchen

This building was once a commercial building, probably a small factory, in the early 1800s. It is situated in the historic Queen Village section of Philadelphia, on two small alley sized streets. Its owners had lived in the house a couple of decades before renovating this kitchen space. We loved the floors, reframed some of the walls, insulated, and then installed this simple, masculine kitchen. Our clients selected the large fossil sample as a feature for their backsplash area. We thought that was really cool. Image: Jason Varney
