In the midst of more recent over-heated and over-blown development, Hedgerow is intended as a breath of fresh air. The wide, short proportions of the lots allowed for homes defined by access to light, air and views. The exterior is clad in rough and textured materials with a purposely unkempt green edge along the sidewalk. Outdoor terraces and a generous roof deck afford opportunities for urban gardening along with views of the Center City skyline.
Hedgerow consists of three adjacent houses that define an out-of-the-way alley intersection in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia. Before the housing boom, the neighborhood had developed an independent streak as artists resettled a blighted context in quirky and fun houses and gardens.
