Welcome to our Atlanta studio
It may get hot in this city, but with so many creative sparks flying, that’s to be expected. We’re incubating ideas inside one of the most sustainable buildings in the Northern Hemisphere. And that’s important, because those ideas help us tackle mission-critical issues—like climate change. In the ATL, innovation is our M.O. Design excellence is in our DNA.
“Working inside 1315 Peachtree is one of the coolest parts about my job. So was helping to design it. Sustainability is so important to me, and here, we really walk our talk.”
—Paula McEvoy, Associate Principal
