Mary's daughter Leigh and her family are loft-dwellers in a rather rough part of Philly that is far from gentrified, but--as these photos attest--rich with opportunities for urban pioneering. Husband Chris designed the space, which includes his home office and two floors of living space. The owners are doing much of the work themselves.
The space is beautifully uncluttered, yet includes plenty of evidence of its kindergarden-age resident. The living room's landscape includes a soccer net, a bicycle, and two terrariums inhabited by caterpillars and hermit crabs. Classic modern pieces mix with salvage and and seventies-flavored elements.
Son Roman's room is defined by high canvas panels hung from pipes. It must feel like sleeping in a tent. Leigh hand-polished the copper pennies that make up the fanciful mosaic floor in his bathroom.
I loved this display of succulents in the enclosed outdoor courtyard...
