Georgia Aquarium TVS

The Georgia Aquarium is much more than a building. It is a purposeful gift to the state of Georgia and the Southeast from Bernie and Billi Marcus. As the co-founder of The Home Depot, Bernie wanted to give something back to Atlanta to thank the city for his success. After celebrating his 60th birthday at California’s Monterey Bay Aquarium, he decided an aquarium would be the perfect present.

Thirteen years later, after touring more than 40 aquariums worldwide, Bernie assembled a team that would make his dream a reality. Bernie looked for a design team that could break through the traditional aquarium model yet still handle the complexity of the project. Well known as the experts in the design of convention centers and public assembly space, such as the Georgia Dome and the former Omni Sports Arena, TVS was accustomed to tackling large-scale projects head on.

ABOVE LEFT: The rotunda area is the centroid of the aquarium. It is a vast vertical space that opens up to natural daylight coming from a large circular skylight above, which represents a “seamount," an underground geothermal mountain that manipulates the ocean’s current to create an energetic, bio-diverse underwater world.

A “wave wall” 25 feet high and 150 feet long animates the entire atrium with a continuously changing light show.

Built in three and a half years, the Georgia Aquarium opened in November 2005. The 550,000-square-foot facility was designed from the inside out, as Bernie and Billi knew what animals they wanted to exhibit—beluga whales and whale sharks being at the top of the list.

The couple also knew what type of experience they wanted the aquarium to offer.

The Marcus’ charge to the design team was to create the world’s most engaging aquarium experience. Therefore, the guiding principles of the project were “liquid architecture” and “immersive experience”—concepts focusing on wrapping visitors into an underwater world while they interact with the world’s most incredible ocean creatures. As the largest indoor aquarium in the world, the facility features more than 150,000 animals from 500 species submerged in more than eight-million gallons of fresh and marine water.

This “world without walls” encompasses five underwater-themed exhibits: Georgia Explorer, River Scout,

905 Juniper Cooper Carry

Transition is the focus of the 905 Juniper condominiums in midtown Atlanta. Located at the corner of Juniper and 8th Streets, this eight-story residential and mixed-use building successfully responds to its urban environment as it recognizes the increasingly more sophisticated residents of the area.

Led by architects Kevin Cantley and Greg Miller, the architectural team at Cooper Carry designed the building so that it steps down in terrace fashion from Juniper Street to the nearby single-family neighborhood. Instead of encroaching on the historic neighborhood, 905 Juniper easily transitions residents, neighbors and pedestrians from one of the city’s busiest commercial corridors to a more relaxed environment.

FACING PAGE: Blending contemporary style with comfort and convenience, 905 Juniper brings together the best of both worlds.

Offering 94 residential units, 905 Juniper provides an intimate atmosphere that perfectly complements an urban lifestyle. Investors were not encouraged during the sales process, thus ensuring a community atmosphere, where everyone is fully vested in the welfare of the building and its tenants.

With several live/work units and street-level retail, the building houses a chocolate store, home design boutique and art gallery. Ricardo Ullano is currently developing a restaurant and bar for the building, which has been fully occupied since it opened mid-2006. The building is also within walking distance of many midtown shops and restaurants.

Above the structure’s internal four-level parking deck is a modern and highly appointed outdoor plaza, featuring a pool, hot tub, fountain and amenity building, complete with a kitchen, clubroom and exercise facility. The building was created with traditional materials such as brick and stucco, but it offers a fresh and contemporary presence, which serves to complement its existing context and to anticipate the future of midtown Atlanta.

Grand Hyatt Atlanta Ai Group Design

The Grand Hyatt in Buckhead offers a modern twist on the gracious hospitality for which Atlanta is known. Initially an international brand property, the 438-room hotel had a distinct Asian theme before Ai Group was commissioned by the owner to perform an extensive renovation on the property. Now when guests walk through the spacious lobby of the Grand Hyatt, they know they are in the capital of the new south.

One of the main elements that impacted hotel guests was the sunken floor in the main lobby, which was surrounded by a sea of handrails. By raising the floor only 12 inches, removing the handrails and adding a fireplace, the lobby immediately exuded a larger and more welcoming feel. Now the new space essentially functions as the living room of the hotel.

Ai Group’s design also involved relocating and redesigning the bar in the lobby and expanding it to seat 20 or so people. Known as “Onyx at the Grand,” the bar features a lighted onyx top, complemented with modern chandeliers and Palladian windows. The Onyx has quickly become a place to see and be seen in Buckhead, as guests enjoy relaxing in the space throughout the day and into the evening.

The front desk and retail areas of the lobby were also reworked during the renovation by replacing Asian-inspired fixtures with more contemporary pieces and incorporating softer neutral colors into the palette. The result is a contemporary freshness that garners attention without being intrusive.

Another significant part of the renovation involved the hotel’s underutilized restaurant space. Now the home of Cassis, which focuses on elegant Southern cuisine, the large restaurant space can be divided into smaller rooms to offer more intimate dining experiences. With floor-to-ceiling windows, in addition to luxurious window treatments and plush club chairs, guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in a regal, yet comfortable environment.

One element from the hotel’s past that was not eliminated was its outdoor garden. The Japanese garden, complete with waterfalls, offers an oasis in the center of bustling Buckhead. The garden is viewable from the lobby, and Cassis’ guests can dine on its terrace. At night the garden features landscape lighting, which makes it perfect for a romantic stroll.

Completed in early 2006, the renovation of the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead has been so well received that Hyatt used it for the company’s national advertising campaigns. It truly is a place that beautifully combines the traditional aspects of Atlanta with the modern ideas of the future.

New World of Coca-Cola Rosser International, Inc.

As one of the most successful brands in the world, The Coca-Cola Company has a rich history of innovation and marketing. To help tell its story, the Atlanta-based company built a museum at Underground Atlanta in 1990 that attracted more than 13 million visitors in 17 years. In May 2007, The Coca-Cola Company opened a new state-of-the-art museum that is twice the size of its former space. Housing more than 1,200 never-before-seen artifacts that depict the brand’s history, the New World of Coca-Cola is an experience not to be missed.

Adjacent to Centennial Olympic Park and the Georgia Aquarium, the New World of Coca-Cola is located at Pemberton Place, a 20-acre complex that has quickly become a top destination for Atlantans and visitors alike. Valued at 36-million dollars, the land for Pemberton Place was donated by The

Coca-Cola Company to show the company’s commitment to the progressive development of downtown Atlanta. The name Pemberton was used to honor John S. Pemberton, the pharmacist who invented Coca-Cola in 1886.

The 97,984-square-foot facility features static and interactive exhibits in assembly and circulation spaces; a thrilling 4-D theater; a fully functioning bottling line that produces commemorative eight-ounce bottles of Coca-Cola; a pop culture gallery featuring works by artists such as Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and Steve Penley; a product sampling room offering more than 70 Coke brands; and a retail store. The back-of-house support spaces are also state of the art.

The four-story structure was a collaborative effort with Rosser International serving as the architect of record and providing engineering coordination, The Jerde Partnership providing museum design, and Jack Rouse Associates providing exhibit design. Led by John Wyle, Paul Kinzie, George Bushey and Ina Bachmann of Rosser, the building was constructed to meet LEED standards and incorporates the latest advances in environmentally friendly construction and design. The Coca-Cola Company also had an initiative to involve as many minority firms in the project as possible.

The central core or connections hub was designed as an area of respite and contemplation. It is a 75-foot-high, glass-enclosed truncated cylinder with views of the corporate tower and complex through a canted, radial section of curtainwall to the north and Centennial Olympic Park to the south. It includes a serpentine monumental stair with multiple landings to better view the stylized,

hand-painted mural depicting The Coca-Cola Company’s defining five core words in various languages, interpreted as a map of the world. The 85-foot-high east feature wall serves as the backstop for the glassviewing wall and provides structural support for the circular hub roof.

The New World of Coca-Cola was an instant success, as it had 535,000 visitors during its first six months of operation. As more and more people enjoy themselves at the museum and Pemberton Place, this area of downtown Atlanta promises to flourish even more in the future.

Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center Lord Aeck & Sargent Architecture

After conducting a nationwide search, Gwinnett County selected the Atlanta office of Lord Aeck & Sargent, an architecture firm less than 40 miles away, to design the county’s first Green building. Developed through a collaboration of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the Gwinnett County Public School System, the University of Georgia, and the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center Foundation, the Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center is an educational facility envisioned to be a working model of ecologically sustainable design. Since it opened in 2006, the GEHC has taught students and adult visitors about the importance of water through programs and interactive exhibits.

Certified as a LEED Gold building from the U.S. Green Building Council, the 59,000-square-foot facility utilizes locally and regionally harvested materials and features a wide array of water- and energy-saving strategies and products. As a result, the GEHC uses 75 percent less potable water and 35 percent less energy than a conventional building of the same size.

FACING PAGE: With its futuristic interior, the Blue Planet orientation theater exhibits an impressive design.

During the initial stages of the design process, the architectural team walked the 233-acre site with the owner and landscape architect to identify a place that would minimize the need for grading and that would maximize protection of the existing tree canopy for shading. They chose a site that allowed the building to bridge a dry ravine, which later evolved into a cascading water feature that draws non-potable reuse water from the nearby Gwinnett County wastewater treatment facility and uses it to provide air conditioning.

Another important water- and energy-saving strategy in the GEHC’s design is its extensive Green roofing system. As one of the largest sloped Green roof installations in the United States, the vegetated roof provides numerous advantages over conventional roofing systems. The vegetated surface reduces the high surface temperatures associated with a conventional roof, mitigating the heat island effect and reducing air conditioning needs. The roof also provides a natural habitat for insects and other wildlife. Planted with six species of drought-resistant, flowering sedum, the vegetation will not require irrigation once the plants are established.

A two-level building, the GEHC features an orientation theater on the main floor called the Blue Planet. Other highlights in the building include Discover H2O—a room with several hands-on science exhibits—a teaching laboratory, library, permanent and rotating exhibit space, a multimedia conference room and a lecture hall for the community.

Surrounded by native landscaping, the exterior features walkways and parking lots that utilize pervious paving. This paving allows water to seep into the ground, mimicking the natural hydrologic cycle, instead of creating undesirable stormwater runoff. The entire site is dedicated

Sky Garden PFVS Architects, Inc.

More than a hotel, more than a condo tower, more than a shopping destination, Sky Garden is a landmark that is greater than the sum of its parts. As Atlanta’s midtown continues to boom, PFVS Architects’ Haitham N. Haddad, Intl Assoc. AIA, Clarence T. Vinson, AIA, and Nathan W. Johnson are designing what will surely be a striking gateway to this part of town. Located on a commanding corner site at the intersection of 14th Street and Spring Street, Sky Garden offers the perfect place for midtown Atlanta to carve its signature on the skyline.

Conceived as a live-in, living sculpture, Sky Garden is a work of art displayed on a pedestal. While it stands out, the structure also belongs on the site as it responds to the property’s geometry. Taking advantage of its own 360-degree sweeping views, the asymmetrical, mixed-use tower offers a different façade for each cardinal point. Visible from various vantage points around the city, pedestrians and drivers alike “discover” the building as they walk or

experience that celebrates the energy of the city. This vibrant edifice will be a landmark that residents will be proud to call home far into the future.

Signature boutiques, first-class restaurants, a distinguished entrance foyer to the condominiums, and a dramatic atrium hotel lobby are all located at street level, taking full advantage of the sloped site.

This lively aggregate of functions and spaces constitutes the base for the hotel/condominium tower, an elegant structure soaring 50 stories into the sky.

The stepping forms of the tower, recalling at once cascades of shimmering waterfalls and a series of soaring cliffs, provide visual interest and break down the mass of the structure, as they bring it closer to pedestrian scale. At the heart of the tower lies the building’s namesake, a multi-story covered space carved out of the structure and open on diametrically opposed sides of the circular tower. This design element, flanked by a club lounge and spa, will act as a window to and from midtown Atlanta where residents and guests can enjoy breathtaking views.
