ABOUT

SPACE IS OBSOLETE is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Philly specializing in residential and commercial buildings and interiors.

As advocates of meaningful experiences driven by the built environment, we create unique spaces while providing clients with a transparent streamlined process. 

Our name Space is Obsolete (SIO) questions our notions of physical space, as well as the experience of it within the context of modern society.
