Calling all
architects, designers, engineers, developers, and anyone who appreciates the
art and science of repurposing older buildings for new residential and
commercial uses…
Have you seen
the May / June 2015 issue of Retrofit
magazine? In case you missed it, take a look at the following images,
showcasing a feature story our ECPR team secured, written by our very own Don
Eberly, about one of our clients, the very talented Stevens & Wilkinson
architecture, engineering and interior design firm.
Ponce City
Market, the former Sears, Roebuck & Co. building in Atlanta, was redesigned
into a live-work-eat-shop-play destination.
Atlantans have
watched the adaptive-reuse plan unfold for more than two years, and the area is
abuzz with new interest about what many are calling the building’s rebirth.
Stevens &
Wilkinson, a full-service commercial architecture, engineering and interior
design firm, served as architect for the adaptive reuse and historic renovations
for the new and impressive FLATS at Ponce City Market.
As lead
architect for Ponce City Market’s residential portion of the building, Stevens
& Wilkinson oversaw the comprehensive creation of the FLATS to include a
mix of studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, including 17 two-level
lofts.
Stevens &
Wilkinson had LEED certification in mind when finalizing how the FLATS would be
designed. The energy-efficient appliances coupled with efficiently engineered
mechanical and plumbing systems contributed to the coveted sustainable design
designation.
As the largest
adaptive reuse project in Atlanta’s history, the entire Ponce City Market
project is estimated at more than $200 million. The developer, Jamestown, was
the originator for the project. The company conducted market research by
consulting with neighborhood residents to determine the best uses for the
building.
Kudos to
Stevens & Wilkinson for an architecture design job well done, and our
thanks to the magazine’s editor for her willingness to share this great story
with her readers.
