The Inquirer is looking for your stories of creativity and innovation.

Calling All Single-Family Residential Architects.

Almost every Sunday, the Inquirer does a story entitled either a “Havens” or an “Adapting”, both are stories of a single residence where creativity and innovation in design solved a problem. The "Havens" pieces have no definition beyond that word while the "Adapting" pieces involve solving “a decorating, remodeling, or renovation challenge.” Below are some examples of these articles.

• https://www.inquirer.com/real-estate/home/outdoor-kitchen-finley-caterers-villanova-20210727.html
• https://www.inquirer.com/real-estate/home/rural-living-south-jersey-winslow-stella-farms-20210707.html
• https://www.inquirer.com/real-estate/victorian-houses-south-jersey-queen-anne-20211207.html

As you can see in the examples above, all the stories involve a heavy dose of creativity by the owner, who in many cases is how the Inquirer hears about the residence. However, realizing that many times the owner works with an architect, the Inquirer would like to hear from you. 

If you feel you have a LOCAL PHILADELPHIA project where you helped the owner of a SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE solve a particularly CHALLENGING DESIGN PROBLEM, please email Inquirer reporter, Paul Jablow at [email protected]. Please be sure to include a description of the problem as well as photographs that highlight the problem and how it was resolved. If your story is selected, the Inquirer will interview you as well as the owners.
