Overview
3350 Peachtree is a Class A office building, nestled in the heart of Buckhead’s financial district. The building, originally built in 1989, was uniquely situated to take advantage of two initiatives (PATH400 and HUB404) designed to create a more connected, sustainable and vibrant Buckhead area within Atlanta. These projects aim to create a 5+ mile greenway and a 9-acre park that will be built over a roadway to create a bridged connectivity with Atlanta’s mass transit hub. Their goal is to provide valuable green space, recreation opportunities, and encourage multimodal transportation options, improving the quality of life for residents and enhancing the visitor experience. To capitalize on the project’s unique position, a new 1-acre outdoor plaza was designed to span atop an expanded parking structure. The inspiration for the design came from the future Hub404 highway cap project and the paintings of Roberto Burle Marx, a Brazilian landscape architect, artist, and ecologist renowned for his modernist garden designs. The project’s intention was to pique the curiosity of those living in surrounding buildings and encourage them to visit the space—which has various seating and working areas along with multiple open areas for gatherings.
