Sante Fe Style Condominium
Rittenhouse Square
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

New Construction in Existing Condominium Building

In 2005, Shay Construction transformed this 4,400 sq. ft. contemporary condominium space, located on Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, into an authentic Sante Fe style retreat. To capture the Sante Fe aesthetic and feel, reclaimed antique and reproduction wood doors and beams were used throughout, interior walls were plastered by hand, and careful attention was given to simulate the details, forms, and scale of traditional Sante Fe homes. In addition, all cabinets were custom made and finished on-site to create a sense of authenticity. A sophisticated Lutron lighting control system was incorporated into the design to highlight unique architectural elements and showcase the owner’s art collection. A whole-house audio video system allows the owners to entertain guests and enjoy entertainment throughout the home.
