AIA Georgia – People’s Choice Award
Atlanta Regional Commission – Excellence Award: Great Places Category
Urban Land Institute – Award of Excellence
SSOE Group, an internationally ranked architecture and engineering firm, has received the Atlanta Regional Commission’s (ARC) Regional Excellence Award in the Great Places category for their work on the Avondale Estates Town Green project.
The ARC’s annual awards honor visionary projects that are improving the quality of life in communities across metropolitan Atlanta. In addition, the project garnered recognition from AIA Georgia with the People’s Choice Award, and the Award of Excellence from the Urban Land Institute.
The Town Green, the heart of downtown Avondale, provides a place of sense and community through adaptable open spaces for planned events and casual gatherings, while serving as an anchor for future development.
Through our discussions with the design team, we agreed to schedule the shoot during the early morning, late afternoon, and twilight. The light cast by the rising and setting sun mirrors the intended warmth of the spaces and structures. Further, this warmth and low sun angle highlight the form and the materiality of the two pavilions, the sand finish of the molded bricks, the wood grain of the glulam, and other specified materials. Creative Sources worked with SSOE’s designers to craft the imagery which was submitted for the award.
