Copper Flats

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Client: Onion Flats

Completion Date: 2025

Project Type: Multi-Family

Project Overview: Copper Flats is an 80 residential unit with 8 Artist studios development in the Norris Square neighborhood of Philadelphia. The project consists of two nearly identical 4-story structures with 26 covered surface parking stalls at the site interior. The project has 100% all electric MEP systems, including heat pump water heaters centrally located on each floor and roof mounted air sourced heat pumps for heating and cooling to tenant and common spaces. A 140 kW PV array tops off both structures and allows a drastic offset to the building’s electrical load. The 400sf 1-bed “micro-units” are designed to feel more spacious than the area belies with translucent glass interior doors and walls between living and bedroom space, and exterior balconies on street facing units for a more expansive experience.
