Site Analysis

St NE Atlanta, GA 30308

After a thorough site study of different built environment components such as buildings, foot traffic, vehicular circulation, urban fabric, and major interstate highways, it was found that there is not much foot or vehicular movement in the immediate, site more specifically to the south of I-75. Therefore, this building design seeks to interact with the street and create a direct connection from the sidewalk to the lobby. This was accomplished via a 46-foot tall lobby that tapers out to a sort of [pinpoint] and features cantilevered facades. The dramatic grandness imposed on the lobby is essentially intended to attract people with the hopes of the new building being an attractor point to bring some activity to the south side of I-75.
