Project Description
FROM AIA GEORGIA:
The
recreation facility project involved inserting a dense program into a surviving antebellum
structure while incorporating a progressive and modern aesthetic. Major challenges included a
short time duration, limited space and tight budget. Despite these challenges, design
opportunities within existing space were optimized. The pre-civil war granite rubble wall, large
expanse of clerestory glass and exposed wood/steel roof structure were identified as the major
character-defining elements of the existing building.
