Buckminster Green

About us

Buckminster Green is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based design-build home remodeling company, led by principal Kenny Grono, specialising in fine renovations of the city's historic rowhouses and carriage houses. The company's portfolio spans whole-house remodels of homes dating to the 1820s in neighborhoods including Society Hill, Rittenhouse Square, Fairmount, Northern Liberties, Queen Village, Fitler Square, Passyunk Square, and Delancey Place, alongside kitchen, bath, and historic-exterior remodels of these same building types.

Buckminster Green states it is committed to helping clients make effective green choices as they renovate, framing remodeling of Philadelphia's dense city housing stock as presenting both unique challenges and genuine opportunities to incorporate sustainability principles. The company's approach to green renovation is explicitly tailored rather than formulaic: it weighs which existing architectural features to preserve, alongside aesthetics, energy-use goals, site conditions, and occupant health concerns, applying techniques refined over years of hands-on experience in Philadelphia's historic housing rather than following passing sustainability trends. The company describes its material and design choices as 'tried and tested,' aimed at bringing older homes up to modern performance standards while respecting their architectural history.

Buckminster Green offers whole-house remodels, kitchen remodels, historic home exterior remodels, home additions, and interior design services, and publishes ongoing content on rowhouse remodeling for Philadelphia homeowners. The company is based at 1516 N 5th St, Suite #325, Philadelphia, PA 19122, United States, and can be reached at 484-432-2692 or info@buckminstergreen.com.
