The building was formerly owned by AT&T company. The three-story building with extensive mill works and wood trims. The old building included more than 50 office spaces in three stories along with conference rooms, storages, break rooms, and common spaces. In the newly designed building, we tried to maintain some of the spaces that had some kind of special value, such as special mill works or stone veneer-designed fireplace.
The client was looking for providing a big common break room at the second level, where the stone veneer-made fireplace was located. We designed a kitchen and bar space next to a pool table, where classic-designed furniture and a woodwork bookshelf also had been designed next to the fireplace. The fantastic view of the street was another feature we used for designing this cozy space.
One of the challenges of designing this building was the efficient design of the building, in terms of energy and daylight, specifically at the lower level. Consideration of big mechanical rooms in the lower level helped us to supply the building with a great HVAC system for the best and most efficient ventilation. Also, we tried to locate spaces with less requirement for the day light, in the lower level.
Another design suggestion we had for better appreciation and efficiency of the future employees was designing an in-house gym in the lower level. Where a big space was available close to the building parking lot and one of the exits, we designed an in-house gym for the building as another common space as a great amenity to the building. The client was very excited about this since they believed that this aspect of our design has added great value to this building as a rental office space.
Another challenge we had in the design process was to make the lower level of the building compatible with ADA codes and standards. Our solution was providing access for handicapped people through a hydraulic vertical platform and lift that was compliant with ADA and IBC codes of the city of Atlanta. Also, for the upper level, we designed a fantastic panoramic elevator and by these means, the building became an ADA compliant building per the most current regulations.
