NOTABLE
TRANSFORMATION
BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO AN HISTORIC STRUCTURE,
PREMIER PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOK THE DESIGN REINS
IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF AN ICONIC, YET UNDERUTILIZED
BUILDING IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN PHILADELPHIA.
After a 70-year existence as a government facility, the landmark property
has been reborn as The Notary Hotel, a part of the Autograph Collection.
As the building is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, the design team's goal was to refresh the hotel via clean,
contemporary lines and materials, while also capturing the nostalgia
the location demanded. Throughout the redesigned space, new
elements, like marble floors, millwork, and fluted glass details,
were selected to complement the building's 1926 construction
and design integrity. These new materials seamlessly integrate
with original design details, like a cast plaster ceiling in the lobby,
as well as the structure's original stone walls.
The design team further accentuated the narrative of the historic
building through an eclectic art assortment that not only recalls the
era of the structure's completion, but incorporates the creative reuse
of some of its original components as well. The Notary's entry area
and lobby include a period collection of men's hats the team bronzed
for artistic effect; a custom display case that features vintage 1920s
