AIA Philadelphia Presents Honor Award in the Built Category to <\/i>DIGSAU<\/i><\/a> Architects for Excellence in the Architectural Design of The Study at University City<\/i><\/p>\n

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AIAawards<\/a>–The Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects recognized DIGSAU and Hospitality3 with a prestigious citywide Architectural Excellence Design Honor Award in the built category for their design of\u00a0the Study at University City<\/a>. The boutique hotel opened in January 2017 at the crossroads of Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania in West Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe structure is a bold simple urban form clearly articulated above a pedestrian base, with thoughtful detailing and fenestration that create an elegant and active fa\u00e7ade,\u201d commented the Architectural Excellence Award Jury, which was comprised of some of Chicago\u2019s leading architects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe design for the Study, a boutique hotel, grows from a sense of connectivity to the unique and vibrant spirit of Philadelphia\u2019s University City and is organized as a simple podium and tower,\u201d said Jeff Goldstein of DIGSAU. \u201cThe podium is comprised of distinct \u2018pavilions\u2019 containing the hotel\u2019s major public spaces, each with a unique relationship to the adjacent sidewalk. The hotel\u2019s guest rooms are housed in the tower, slightly rotated as a nod to the historic Woodland Walk, which runs diagonally through the Drexel and Penn campuses. The tower\u2019s skin is a unique brick bond with a composition of three window types, animating the fa\u00e7ade and diversifying the guest experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal in the design of the building was to create a sophisticated urban hotel that calls attention to itself as a commanding, yet stylish form, with a strong connection to the street. The materiality of the building was conceived from several precedents found in the Philadelphia market; a composition of natural materials presented in a variety of finishes with metallic accents to create interest\u201d said Paul McGowan, Hospitality 3<\/a> and Study Hotels President and Founder.<\/p>\n

Each winning project was chosen for its design quality, response to its context and community, program resolution, innovation, thoughtfulness, and technique. Submitted projects had to be completed by AIA Philadelphia members. There were\u00a0150\u00a0entries.\u00a0The winners range from temporary installations and exhibitions to large-scale urban interventions.<\/p>\n
