Philadelphia Ad Agency Gets a Swanky New Space
3.28.11 | Philadelphia, PA | Philadelphia-based Razorfish Health has moved offices to the prestigious and historic Wanamaker Building in Center City. The new space echoes the company’s focus on innovation and creativity, and was designed as a collaboration between Razorfish Health staff and TPG Architecture in New York.
Spanning 23,000 square feet of the building’s fourth floor, the space features refurbished original elements including ceiling and structural detail, as well as newly constructed spaces specially-built for the agency. Visitors will enter to see artwork by Markus Linnenbrink flanking the reception desk, followed by a large social café and kitchen. The space includes nods to the past while being firmly rooted in the present. The grand stairwell is original to the building, and a glass-walled conference room in the center of the floor has a writeable surface on all four external walls, enabling collaboration from both inside and out.
“As with any great design project, this was equal parts form and function. We wanted our new space to reflect and nurture our creative culture, while also accommodating our rapid growth,” said Katy Thorbahn, SVP/General Manager, Razorfish Health.
Rob Ulliman, Executive Creative Director of Razorfish Health, worked closely with TPG on the design, helping to create a space that fit the company’s needs, ultimately delivering a space imbued with industrial tones, reflecting the agency’s entrepreneurial spirit.
The company’s new mailing address is 100 Penn Square East, 4thFloor, Philadelphia PA, 19107. Phone, fax and email remain the same.
