CBP Architects recently welcomed Ryan Rose to our firm!

Drawn to CBP for its projects that positively impact communities, Ryan joined us in late 2025 as an intern while he pursues his B.Arch at Drexel University. A lifelong musician, former competitive swimmer, and one-time Lindy Scholars Program mentor; Ryan is used to supporting others and reliably contributes to projects. In his free time, he plays the cello and double bass in the Philly-based jazz band, the Serenade Lounge.

Welcome, Ryan!

The Carriage House Residence recently appeared in Philadelphia magazine’s April 2026 issue, where Lifestyle Editor Emily Goulet highlights the project for its dramatic 1,000-bottle wine cellar.

The four-story residence features an historic adaptive reuse design by CBP Architects that transformed two mixed-use rowhouses with a collection of tight, cramped spaces into a light-filled and spacious single-family home.

On Wednesday, April 29th, CBP Architects attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Ruth Street Civic House!

Transforming a once-vacant, blighted lot, this recently completed project provides 44 units of deeply affordable housing, bolstering the developer NKCDC’s mission to revitalize and support the Kensington community.

We are excited to see this project complete!

Last week, CBP Architects attended Carman Gardens’ wall-breaking ceremony! This event commemorated the beginning of construction, and this former roller rink’s transformation into a 20,000+ sq. ft. community health and wellness center.

When complete, the new Carman Gardens Health Center will host Greater Philadelphia Health Action, Inc. (GPHA), who will provide medical, dental, behavioral health, and other services to the East Tioga-Hunting Park neighborhood; while the building itself will maintain its presence as a community landmark.

We are excited to see this project take shape!

On Thursday April 16th, CBP hosted a group of students from West Philadelphia High School for an in-house presentation and design charrette as part of DesignPhiladelphia’s contribution to the AIA’s Architecture Week 2026.

The students were introduced to our firm and work before being given an opportunity to draw and design their own dwelling units. They also explored the office and talked to Project Architects about their daily responsibilities. At the end of the visit, they presented their work to their classmates.

We are extremely pleased to have played a role in educating young students about the Architecture profession, which is often underrepresented in traditional high school curricula. We want to give a big thanks to DesignPhiladelphia for facilitating events like these and look forward to future opportunities to foster creativity and design skills in young people!

CBP Architects recently welcomed Ross Silverman to our firm!

Ross joined us in late 2025 as a Project Architect with a strong understanding of building science and an eye for detail. He enjoys problem-solving and adapting higher-end details to affordable housing developments.

Ross holds a B.Arch from Philadelphia (now Jefferson) University and is a registered architect in Pennsylvania. His current project with CBP involves the renovation of a historic building in West Chester to provide independent, affordable senior housing.

On April 13th, CBP Architects attended the topping-off ceremony for Ardmore House II!

This event commemorated the installation of the building’s final structural beam. Representatives from Lower Merion Township, HumanGood, Genesis Housing Corporation, and Pennsylvania State elected officials were in attendance.

When completed in Fall 2026, Ardmore House II will provide 48 one-bedroom units of much-needed affordable housing for seniors in Lower Merion Township. Funding from multiple sources including the Township, Montgomery County, and PHFA low-income housing tax credits have made this project possible. We are grateful to play a part in bringing Ardmore House II into reality!
