AIA Georgia Honors Our Projects for Design Excellence and Atlanta Studio with Architecture Firm of the Year

For over 45 years, we have called Atlanta home.

Located in the heart of the city, the studio has grown to more than 155 strong and is the only studio in the firm that has professionals in every market. Guided by a series of global leaders in Corporate and Commercial, K-12, Higher Education, Science and Technology, Health, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, and Branded Environments, the studio embodies a transdisciplinary approach that blurs the lines of collaboration.

“During my five years in Atlanta, I’ve had the pleasure to work with extraordinary people delivering exceptional work that has the power to inspire, uplift, and strengthen the spirit of community for our clients and our City,” says Atlanta studio Managing Director, David Dymecki.

As the final piece of the award-winning Atlanta Dairies courtyard, The Eastern had to solve a demanding programmatic challenge while protecting and enhancing the surroundings. The overhangs, arcades, and dramatic stepping on the exterior create amenities for surrounding site, creates a rich, unique, and memorable performance space.

The 2,300-person music venue, one block away from the Atlanta BeltLine, anchors the Atlanta Dairies site and provides a pedestrian-friendly and urban-minded venue. The building uses the unique triangular and sloping topography to accommodate spectators in a surprisingly intimate and dynamic space, while respecting the scale of the existing Atlanta Dairies buildings.
