Originally constructed in 1890 as the Dupre Excelsior Mill, this historic complex was re-imagined into a high-end office development for a confidential technology client. The design - created in partnership with Magdalena Keck Interiors -celebrates the original architectural details juxtaposed with contemporary interventions and bold, unexpected elements that create a sense of discovery.

There is a multi-level layout with exposed ductwork and concrete flooring. A central staircase leads to an upper level with additional workspace.

The building was originally comprised of two parts - The Mill and The Warehouse. In the late 1970’s, the building transitioned into public spaces ranging from a pizzeria to a night club and music venue. Eventually in 2019, a connection between the two parts was constructed to unify the two distinct structures.

The interior architectural details differentiate the workspace from any other. The design celebrates the existing beauty by emphasizing the stone walls, architectural bones, and unique layout, juxtaposed by moments of bold color and architectural niches to create a sense of wonder and exploration. The flow of spaces encourages connection and creativity to foster innovation required for this technology hub.

Located along the Atlanta Beltline, the building has a direct physical and visual connection to the community. The final design solution draws inspiration from the greenery and murals seen along the pathways. Gallery corridors are filled with curated local artwork, while anchoring spaces like the playground solarium recreate the feeling of a sculpture garden that brings employees together.
