The Thin Flats takes the traditional Philadelphia row house and turns up the charm big time with a LEED Platinum certification and a slew of clever design elements. Designed and built in-house by Onion Flats, the nine units complex is the first certified LEED Homes duplex in the nation. The construction hosts state-of-the-art energy and water conservation measures complimented by an intriguing interior design and rooftop garden patios. A vertical façade helps blend the contemporary look seamlessly with its aged neighbors, playfully magnifying the row house aesthetic. With these flats, meaning thin is in.
That used to be my neighborhood until I had to move out because of yuppies moving in and paying a fortune for places like the above. The neighborhood wasnt dated unless by dated you mean a lack of wealthy white folks moving and buying houses, driving rents sky high and forcing the working class out. You might call it revitalization I call it gentrification and unaffordable.
There may be some validity however I’ll take hold opinion till I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we would like extra!
