PHILADELPHIA EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL OFFICES  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

 

 

 

 

The Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral offices occupy half a floor in a small new office building adjoining the Cathedral in University City. SITIO did the tenant fit-out of the 2,400 s.f. space that contains offices for the Cathedral Chapter, the Dean of the Cathedral, staff members and meting space. 

The design sought to create a luminous space that would bring in natural light to all work areas as it served as a gallery for the Chapter’s collection of art and artifacts.  The ascetic aesthetic of the space is modulated by the textures of the light stone and textured carpet floors and is warmed by the maple wood paneling of discrete elements that are inserted into the space.
