Penn Atlantic Building
Designed for a prominent corner along the Penn Avenue Arts Corridor, the Penn Atlantic Building establishes a unique arts-based program at the junction of three Pittsburgh neighborhoods. The new four-story structure was developed on two neglected parcels and reconstructs the original buildings’ façade. The project is comprised of flexible studio office spaces and loft style apartments supporting artist-in-residency programs. The project recognized the importance of maintaining the existing urban fabric and keeping a sensitive physical connection to the neighborhood, while creating a new presence and hub at the entrance to Garfield’s flourishing arts district.
