Nova was developed out of the need to create more spaces that make impact accessible through daily experience. By approaching this through a residential lens, Nova highlights the sense of social impact and belonging made possible by an intimate shared experience of charity, architecture, and design. The residences at Nova was inspired by Japandi living - combining organic materials and a natural palette (Japanese) with a modern, minimalist approach to design (Scandi). However, we did not forget our local roots in the process. Our street presence takes design cues from our neighbors - Crane Arts & ReAnimator Coffee - intentionally preserving the familiar loft-style, red-brick charm of Fishtown - NoLibs - Philadelphia architecture. At the same time, a portion of the profits from Nova will fund a core vision of ours: a world free of avoidable blindness as a result of extreme poverty. Our charity partner - SEVA Foundation - provides sight restoring cataracts surgery free of cost to children & adults. Future Nova Residents will carry on this mission as a portion of rents will continue to be dedicated to SEVA Foundation.
