Philadelphia Inquirer highlights BKP’s community-engaging designs

In the Feb. 24 Philadelphia Inquirer article, “Durability and style for a rec center,” author Nathaniel Popkin covers Philadelphia’s Pleasant Playground Recreation Center, for which BKP has designed a new facility slated to break ground later this year. Based on the firm’s 2001 design for Holmesburg Rec Center, the new building engages with the community through sustainable architecture. Calling the design “thoughtful” with “its contemporary footing in sustainable design” Popkin reinforces BKP Principal Joseph Powell’s design approach to “announce the rec center as a place of importance in the neighborhood.”
