Weaving seven individual buildings into one cohesive urban experience

Market Square Place stands as a nationally recognized restoration triumph, revitalizing a pivotal block in downtown Pittsburgh.

Our multi-disciplinary expertise in architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and graphic design converged to seamlessly unite seven diverse buildings, introducing a harmonious blend of tenants and new housing units. This transformative project not only preserved the historic structures but also restored their facades, preserving a crucial piece of downtown Pittsburgh’s physical and historical context.

The outcome is a vibrant and active hub that seamlessly integrates retail, restaurants, residential spaces, and an inviting outdoor public gathering space. Market Square Place exemplifies our commitment to creating meaningful experiences through design, breathing new life into urban spaces while respecting and enhancing their rich historical fabric.

This project exemplifies the adept preservation of historical properties, seamlessly repurposing them in a sustainable manner that accentuates the urban architectural scale vital to our downtown fabric. The distinct design of each of the original seven buildings is eloquently expressed through meticulous material selection and detailing, ensuring that the unique histories of these structures shine through. The amalgamation of these buildings into a singular structure, catering to multiple uses, reflects a harmonious blend of past and present, breathing new life into the urban landscape while honoring its rich architectural legacy.
