Our Philly Office Grows!
Welcome Kevin, Victoria and Jasmine! We are thrilled to welcome three exceptional new team members to our Philadelphia office.
“There is an organic, vibrant sense of momentum as we grow to 5 in Philly!
We’re creating a sense of place in the office as we connect with mission-aligned clients in the mid-Atlantic looking to make meaningful impact together.
We’re excited to engage our expertise in attainable housing, adaptive reuse, urban agriculture, and community design in the communities we’re now embedded in here!”
— Ben Willis, Director of Philadelphia office, and Associate Principal at UNION
Kevin Alloway
“Determined and thorough, passionate about graphic representation, and keenly interested in spaces that generate fulfilling living experiences.”
Victoria Bryant
“Being mindful of the communities we serve is central to our work as designers. This is what drives us to create spaces that are inclusive, responsive, and deeply connected to the people who use them.”
Jasmine Zhang
“Approaches design through the lens of the user, constantly considering what makes for a meaningful experience in architecture.”
“The way we’ve grown in Philadelphia reflects a familiar pattern—our biggest opportunities often emerge from a mix of serendipity and genuine passion. What began as an organic expansion to Philly has grown into a clear signal of Union’s expanding vision beyond Providence – and our success in this region points to our core strength: transforming ambitious challenges into meaningful impact.
Philadelphia reminds me of Providence when we founded this firm 20+ years ago. It has that same grit and resilience and the parallels run deep. The challenges and opportunities in Philly mirror what we’ve seen in Rhode Island, where we’ve spent decades investing in revitalization. We are energized to bring our demonstrated expertise in building, repairing, and strengthening communities to Philadelphia!”
— Douglas Kallfelz, Co-founder and Managing Partner at UNION
