CICADA is a multicultural, diverse, collaborative firm of like-minded people who love urbanism, are committed to reducing waste and our carbon footprint, and work to improve the lives of urban dwellers through design. We deliver professional architecture, planning, and interior design services, from initial program development through construction administration and occupancy. Each of our projects is led by a principal of the firm, backed by a dedicated and talented group of in-house staff architects and designers, and partnered with like-minded engineering and specialist sub-consultants. At CICADA, we seek to integrate an awareness of context into the design of every project. Through our work we seek to enhance our cultural heritage as represented by our built environment; design projects that are responsive to the immediate needs of our clients; design durable buildings that are flexible enough to respond to inevitably changing needs and users over time; use environmentally responsible materials, systems, and concepts; and develop built environments which are economically responsible in both the short and long term.

Thanks for stopping by, Morgan! CICADA Architecture/Planning, Inc. loved learning more about some of the newest innovations in facades.
We’re passionate about education and sharing knowledge on innovative architectural solutions! Recently, our Technical Sales Director, Morgan Alexander, visited several companies in Philadelphia, offering a deep dive into the benefits and applications of StoneLite® panels. We appreciate the warm reception and engaging discussions at CICADA Architecture/Planning, Inc., CosciaMoos Architecture and DIGSAU! While in town, Morgan also had the pleasure of visiting the historical sites of Philly, including one of our past projects - The National Constitution Center.

The official grand opening of our Arlene Thorpe Townhomes marks an important step forward in ensuring Philadelphians that need it most have access to permanently affordable, accessible housing. We celebrated the occasion with a ribbon cutting event that brought together the many partners who made this development possible. That includes Council President Kenyatta Johnson, the Philadelphia Housing Authority, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency , the City of Philadelphia Department of Planning and Development, and, of course, members of our COMMUNITY. Attendees had the opportunity to hear from real voices who are immediately impacted by the availability of this permanently affordable housing. We were also honored to be joined by relatives of Ms. Arlene Thorpe, a pillar of the King’s Village section of the Grays Ferry neighborhood, who the townhomes are named after. Another note of thanks to our partners at Regional Housing Legal Services, CICADA Architecture/Planning, Inc., Domus Inc, Stone Sherick Consulting Group, LLC., Eustace Engineering, J&M Engineering, Innova, and Land Service US. The Arlene Thorpe townhomes mark WCRP’s 13th affordable housing development in Philadelphia and we look forward to continuing our strategy to prevent residents from being displaced in rapidly gentrifying areas all over the city.
