SPACE is OBSOLETE is a design studio based in Philly specializing in residential and commercial buildings and interiors. We create unique bespoke spaces while providing clients with a transparent streamlined process. Our name questions the inherent notion of physical space within the context of modern society - an analog vs digital world.

PROCESS
Our goal is to make the design and construction process as efficient and client-friendly as possible. We focus on clear and consistent communication – emails or calls are returned within 24 hours or less – and well-defined project goals and logistics from the outset. Whether this is your first time working with a design professional or you’re already an experienced client, we tailor our approach to best serve as your trusted advisor and design partner.
FEES
Generally we work with architectural projects of construction budgets of $250,000 and upwards. For interior renovation projects, our project budgets are usually $50,000 minimum. Design fees vary with project scope, complexity, and services provided, but are usually figured as a percentage of the construction cost.
