Custom Aluminum Storefront for the Center City Pantry
PROJECT SCOPE
Type: Indoor Retail Location
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Construction: 2022
Area of Focus: Commercial storefront with entrance door
Window Types: Facade/Curtain Wall, Entrance Door
The Center City Pantry is a food store with an adjacent café that features freshly brewed La Colombe coffee, wine, snacks, and more. It’s a busy retail location inside the lobby of the upscale Marriott Hotel in Center City Philadelphia. Because the space is inherently dark (since it’s inside a building and has no windows to the outside), the client did not want to enclose it even more with an opaque wall. The large glass storefront system incorporates multiple vertical window panes and a central glass door. The windows and doors are framed with dark, slim aluminum profiles, creating a modern and clean aesthetic.
Vetrina Windows designed and manufactured a custom aluminum storefront consisting of a curtain wall module and a Millennium Plus 70 exterior entrance door. The resulting design feels airy, welcoming, and transparent, making the retail space essentially part of the hotel lobby, while providing a secure enclosed space for the business. The design emphasizes openness and accessibility, making it universally suitable for a commercial retail environment such as the Center City Pantry.
Vetrina Windows specializes in custom design and production of high quality aluminum curtain walls, storefronts, and facades for commercial applications. For inquiries about supplying your project please contact us at info@vetrinawindows.com or use this form.
