From intersection to vibrant community anchor, #100Prince provides a launch point for the west end of downtown's next chapter as a vibrant urban center by offering a range of residential units, local restaurant and small-scale commercial spaces, and engaging communal gathering spaces. A historic 1913 chapel at the corner of Prince and Pulaski will be preserved and converted into a one-of-a-kind restaurant with timeless architecture and atmosphere. The human-scale design and architectural style of the development was designed to be compatible with the surrounding historic neighborhoods of Pulaski, Childs Street, and the Bottleworks.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #mixedusedevelopment #urbandesign #athensga #myathens #100prince #landplanning #historic #urbanrenewal #urbanrepair https://instagr.am/p/CV01Md5MImI/

Originally built in 1948, this apartment complex has been revamped to preserve its unique character while creating new experiences for residents. Design interventions took advantage of the tight site constraints and topographical challenges to artfully convey stormwater through a series of scuppers and bioretention systems.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #artfulstormwaterdesign #adaptivereuse #urbandesign #landscapearchitecture #civilengineering #ecologicalacupuncture #stormwater #waterquality #corten https://instagr.am/p/CVvrmb_MqS4/

Design repair. Rather than attempting to mask or hide the incision created from a utility line repair to an old world cobblestone street, pavers have been artfully integrated to mesh the old with new, creating unique opportunities for imaginative play like an episode of the Floor is Lava. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #urbanacupuncture #modernrustic #cobblestoneandbrick #landscapeurbanism #landscapearchitecture #urbanretrofit #designrepair #antifragility #nassimtaleb #strongtowns https://instagr.am/p/CVizoHVsLyw/

Where it all begins. Classic hand-drawn sketches spark inspiration during the design process. You need to get a lot of bad or mediocre ideas out on paper before the good ones come along. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #planning #drawing #sketch #designcharrette #conceptdesign https://instagr.am/p/CU-z9iINtFM/

From the street, you may not always be able to see engineering work at play like the 1,200 square foot LiveRoof rooftop garden and underground water quality treatment chambers in this mixed-use development. These systems trap stormwater, filter impurities, and cool surface temperatures for the building.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #civilengineering #urbandesign #stormwaterdesign #planning https://instagr.am/p/CUsrnV7rasW/

Community was at the heart of this neighborhood restaurant design which features a welcoming outdoor patio / lawn area where diners can gather and kids can play. A mix of paving patterns were used to develop walkable space through the area while creating visual interest and preserving existing trees. https://instagr.am/p/CUKrD3lMFRW/
