Located in the heart of the Financial District of Atlanta, this two-story, 10,000 SF aluminum and exposed concrete building is a complicated yet highly functional branch facility for an international brokerage company. Although the building is located on a half-acre site and surrounded by countless lofty structures, its unique design commands street level attention. The lower floor is oriented to optimize customer parking and pedestrian access, while the upper floor is rotated to form a canopy and balconies which invite interaction with the environment. Landscape features provide an unexpected scenic setting and respite from the hustle and bustle of Buckhead. (Photos: Kelly Holtz)
