Premier Residential Architects in Philadelphia
Blending Philadelphia’s Historic Heritage with Modern Luxury Living.
Crafting Exceptional Spaces in the City of Brotherly Love
Finding the right residential architect in Philadelphia is about more than just blueprints; it’s about understanding the soul of our city’s neighborhoods. From the iconic red-brick rowhouses of Society Hill to the sprawling estates of the Main Line and the industrial-chic lofts in Fishtown, Philadelphia offers a diverse architectural canvas. At Eorbix Tech Architecture, we specialize in navigating the complex zoning laws and historical commission requirements that make Philly architecture unique.
Our philosophy is rooted in “Contextual Modernism.” We believe that a new home or a major renovation should respect its surroundings while providing the contemporary comforts of 2026 living. Whether you are looking to build a sustainable “Passive House” in Mt. Airy or a luxury penthouse overlooking Rittenhouse Square, our team brings decades of local expertise to the table.

Featured Project: The Chestnut Hill Revival
A Balance of Glass and Stone
Location: Chestnut Hill, PA
Scope: 5,000 sq. ft. Custom Estate

Result: Winner of the 2025 Philly Design Excellence Award.
