When Tabula Creative set out to design a new corporate website for PMC Property Group, I was commissioned to produce distinctive images for the site.

PMC Property Group has a track record of taking older urban buildings, updating and converting them to apartments and other uses. My challenge was to produce compelling images of these buildings.

For the website project, I photographed buildings in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. The website features case studies of projects.

It’s great to see older buildings brought back to life. The life of our cities is enriched by re-using historic buildings.

In Pittsburgh, a metal-clad 1950s skyscraper, the former regional headquarters of Bell Telephone, has been remade into downtown apartments and a charter school.
