The Flamm Residence, a 14th floor apartment in Rittenhouse Plaza, faces Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square, a jewel of an urban park. The design opened up a claustrophobic, 1920s-era apartment to create a flowing, minimalist, light-filled contemporary urban home for a neurosurgeon, his wife and college-age son.

One of the project's criteria was the elegant incorporation of the client's extensive modern art and rare books collections. The design included custom rift-cut, white oak library cabinets with UV-filtered glass; a custom stone, concrete and glass coffee table; and lacquered master bedroom suite furnishings topped with ‘salt and pepper’ granite.
