Onionflats | Philadelphia
In 1997 brothers, Tim and Pat McDonald, began Onion Flats by purchasing a 200 year old, five story building in the Old City section of Philadelphia , with the intention of 1. Creating a space for the family to work together, 2. Providing Tim with a free space on the ground floor to open Philly’s first architecture gallery called FAARM, 3. Having the building pay for itself, and 4. Testing the limits of the forgotten strengths of the architect/builder. The last thing on their minds was to create a development/design/build company that would consume their previous careers, lives and the lives of friends and family for the next ten years. In 2005 as brother Johnny McDonald and longtime friend and architect Howard Steinberg joined the team, Onion Flats, in many ways, grew up, or more correctly, became more serious about it’s play. Johnny is a licensed realtor and is responsible for all financing and sales for all projects. He is a formidable communicator and natural salesman. Howard is a registered Architect, the CFO of all three companies, has a Master’s Degree in Architecture and Construction Management and significant experience in large scale development, design and building projects. Pat has steered our organization and mission towards fundamentally “sustainable” modes of thinking, building and dwelling. He is a registered master plumber, licensed solar panel installer and the Manager of all construction sites and projects. Tim wears many hats in all three organizations. He is challenged and inspired equally by the multidisciplinary nature of architecture and the art of building as he is by the art of communication with colleagues, clients, politicians, neighbors, contractors and bankers.
