ISA Interface Studio Architects tackles the design challenges in Philadelphia, where 25% of the population has been lost since 1950. With 30,107 vacant parcels and 22,473 vacant houses, the housing market has lost 50% of its value in 24 months. The firm focuses on new markets, catering to a consumer-savvy, green-minded generation. By reimagining typical, poorly constructed buildings, they create smart, right-sized structures with better envelope materials for cost-efficient living. Transitioning from conventional to passive design, the emphasis shifts towards insulation, reducing infiltration, and managing HVAC systems for lower energy bills.
