About this project

Formerly the historic Wynne Theater, Wynne Senior Residences in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was designed to have the architectural grandeur of the theater but with the new purpose of an affordable senior living apartment community. In honor of the old building, there’s a replica of the 20-foot tall Wynne rooftop marquee; at the time of the original theater’s demolition, this was the last remaining rooftop sign on a movie theater in the city.  

INTUS Arcade triple pane steel reinforced polymer windows keep things quiet for residents while offering a flood of daylight throughout the 51 units. Our energy efficient windows were a key component in this project receiving PHUIS certification. Wynne is an excellent example of how passive housing can be affordable, and mix in traditional architectural designs.
