The proposed World of Flight store would be Nike's first location in the United States.
On March 8, Michael Kouvaris of MBH Architects presented the new design rendering for the proposed World of Flight store slated for 1617 Walnut St. to the Philadelphia Historical Commission. The left image presents the existing facade, the middle image presents the original proposal submitted, and the far right presents the updated proposal.World of Flight would occupy a 7,000-square-foot commercial space in a 103-year-old building and be the first U.S.
The new proposal moves the logo from the second floor windows to above them. The new design also replaces the second floor French doors with windows to maintain the building’s existing aesthetic and improved energy efficiency and security, Kouvarissaid that Nike had proposed a security grill “If we start having solid grills, we’re setting a precedent and that concerns me a great deal,” said Robert Thomas, architectural historian and chair of the commission.
