On-the-Boards
thirteenO1 restaurant+bar
This project is for the renovation and expansion of an abandoned 14,000 s.f. two-story building in Center City Philadelphia into a restaurant + nightclub. A new roof garden pavilion at the corner serves as an urban-scaled invitation to the entertainment venue. The two street facades are designed as “tunable” instruments of light. Along the long façade, LED edge-lit translucent vertical “light fins” are used to create both static and animated colored light effects. Inside a diverse mix of drinking-dining-entertainment environments are created throughout four floors, featuring six bars, performance stage and dining/dance atrium.
