Firm Profile

(re)work is an architecture and interior design firm located in Philadelphia, PA.  The firm was founded by Eric Heidel, RA and Sary Em in 2010.  We are a boutique design firm that is committed to close collaboration with our clients to create thoughtful solutions to their design dilemmas. We work with residential and commercial clients on a variety of renovation, adaptive reuse, and new construction projects. 

Living and working in Philadelphia has allowed us to become familiar with the challenges of working with the city’s aging building stock and its compact urban sites.  We are committed to reusing the city’s vacant lots, abandoned buildings, and historic row houses and recreating them to serve the needs of our clients. Our experience and creativity gives us the vision to transform our client’s projects into well-designed modern buildings and spaces.
