M20 began this speculative project with the idea that any given site has hidden potential. Each site comes with it’s own unique constraints and peculiarities and these restrictions often provide fertile ground for unexpected design solutions.
The main constraint for this project was the two adjoining property boundaries and the slenderness of the lot. The site is an undeveloped sliver of land two blocks south of Five Points Station in downtown Atlanta and currently zoned SPI-1. This zoning allows for an F.A.R. of 25, but in the interest of being a bit more contextual and not creating an incredibly anorexic 25 story skyscraper, the building size/program was capped at 5 stories.
The ground floor consists of two retail spaces separated by the building lobby, while the upper four floors are meant to each be a single office tenant. The East and North facade are located on property lines and as such are rated party walls. They have giant pixelated cloud murals painted on each side, in a reference to the lost view westward.
