Project Description
FROM AIA Georgia:
The goal for the design was to connect the
community, while leveraging the building’s history in downtown Atlanta. Floor to ceiling glazing
with windows on both sides of the corner space open the building up for connection at the
street level. A stunning quarter-sawn white oak wall, sustainably constructed from local “forest
free” oaks creates a contrast with the grey zinc. The central elements of transformation in the
design are the large vertical bi-fold door and single pivot door on the front main wall. The open
program space visible from the street is a fresh and inviting location for exhibitions and gallery
presentations
