Barbara Botting, Philadelphia Home’s very own stylist extraordinaire, transformed Terrain at Styer’s circa-1890 building from a sad, ’80s-addled office into a luxurious, garden-inspired conference space. Her vision: “a simplified, chintz-free English cottage-style room with filtered light and niches for garden implements, ­cloches, plants, botanicals and books,” she says. The ground-up renovation included exposing and refinishing original hardwood floors, commissioning bespoke lighting, adding data ports and outlets, choosing the ­perfect paints — and exploring Terrain’s “art house” and Urban Outfitters’ warehouse for ­vintage filing ­cabinets, fireplace fenders, iron hooks, colorful ­fabrics — and one very charming birdcage.
