Eichler & Moffly, Inc. Realtors

Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia

This dramatic contemporary was designed by the celebrated architect Romaldo Giurgola of the Philadelphia/New York firm Mitchell/Giurgola, and was built in 1963. The house is a cluster of one and two story interrelated cubes featuring a two-story entrance hall an a spectacular two story living room with magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows. Sited on nearly an acre of land with many handsome trees in the Philadelphia Cricket Club section of St. Martin's, the house is elegant without being overly formal and spacious yet eminently manageable. A handsome brick terrace with sitting wall, surrounded by lovely mature shrubs, provides an attractive setting for outdoor entertaining.

Romaldo Giurgola received the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal Award in 1982 in recognition of "most distinguished service to the architectural profession." In an article announcing the award, the NY Times wrote: "Mr. Giurgola does not build glass houses. What he does build--structures that seem to integrate themselves with the land and cityscape--make powerful aesthetic statements while remaining eminently functional."
