Copper Flats

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Client: Onion Flats

Completion Date: 2020, In Progress

Project Type: Multi-Family

Copper Flats is an 80 residential unit with eight artist studios designed to be a PHIUS Certified, Net Zero Energy project. The project consists of two nearly identical 4-story structures with 26 covered surface parking stalls at the site interior. The project is designed to be 100% prefabricated, panelized in an off-site factory with MEP incorporated, and delivered to the site in half the time it would take to site-build. A green roof and 120 kW PV canopy tops off both structures and allows tenants to grow their own produce.

The 400 sf. 1-bed ‘micro-units’ are designed to feel more spacious than the sf belies. With translucent glass interior doors and walls between living and bedroom space, the exterior balconies on all units create an expansive experience. Each apartment is also provided a 60 sf. private storage space in the basement as well as ground level interior bicycle storage.
