Construction work is making considerable headway at a 13-unit development at 769 South 10th Street in Bella Vista, South Philadelphia. Designed by Landmark Architectural Design, the building will stand four stories tall, with commercial space at the ground floor and a roof deck.
The new development will feature a very attractive exterior, resemblant of industrial buildings from a previous era. The extensive use of red brick (covering the entire facade along 10th Street and Catharine Street) is what really makes the design, with its elaborate detailing. On the bottom three floors, columns project from the facade, adding visual depth, before arriving at a cornice-look horizontal row which creates a visual distinction from the lower portion of the building and its top floor. Industrial-styled windows add to the high-quality look of the building. Unfortunately, this full brick exterior will not also be present along South Delhi Street, where the design transitions to the more practical usage of vinyl siding material.
