This Civil War era, 1680-square-foot three-story row house is located in the Italian Market section of Philadelphia. In this case, BluPath Design principals and their young child were the clients. The project goal was to upgrade a traditional housing type to meet a contemporary lifestyle, applying both sustainable criteria and clean, modern yet sensual aesthetics. The challenge of the property (only 830 square feet in lot size) was to create a design that was small, but smart.The project was an honorable mention for Sustainability and Energy Efficiency for the IIDA Philadelphia City Center Chapter 3rd Annual Interior Design Awards, and won the Bronze 2006 Commonwealth Design Award, 10,000 Friends of PA.For more information on the project and its sustainable features, visit: http://www.blupath.us.
