We’re pleased to share that 100 Congress, a revitalized office tower lobby led by design principal Kirsten Ring Murray FAIA, has been featured online by The Architect's Newspaper! “At 100 Congress, our fundamental driver was to make the space feel right from a scale perspective. The existing lobby was large and somewhat amorphous, so we placed furniture like coffee bar in the center and added a low lantern to create a more intimate scale,” Kirsten shares. “Comfortable, functional seating groups also provide more intimate experiences with a connection to the garden outside. It’s a great green space and an unusual asset for an urban building.” Visit The Architect’s Newspaper link below to read the full story! https://lnkd.in/gQ-cxyua #Architecture #Design #InteriorDesign Project Team: Kirsten Ring Murray, FAIA, Design Principal; Jerry Garcia, Principal; Todd Walbourn, AIA, LEED AP, Project Manager; Matt Hostetler, AIA, LEED AP, Project Architect; Collin Palin, AIA, and Conor Denison, Architectural Staff; Francesca Dea Krisli and Stella Bok, Interior Design Staff Client/Developer: Carr Properties Key Consultants: rand* construction corporation, General Contractor; Datum Engineers, Structural Engineer; Glumac, Mechanical & Electrical Engineer; Design Workshop, Landscape Architect; Archillume, Lighting Design; Applied Building Information, Specifications

We’re excited to share that Architectural Digest featured Maxon Studio on their latest episode of Unique Spaces! Maxon Studio, a mobile creative studio in rural Washington, was led by design principal Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, and client/contractor Lou Maxon. The two-story steel tower is mounted on a 15-foot-gauge railroad track and transitions from nested extension of the home to a detached work space. "You use the tools on your toolbelt to come up with a solution and sometimes even invention," Tom shared. “Invention is a very exciting moment when it happens, but you don't go looking for an invention for the sake of a new idea."

We’re pleased to share that a new office complex in Atlanta’s historic Fourth Ward, led by design principals Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, Kirsten Ring Murray FAIA, and Steven Rainville, AIA, LEED AP, has been featured online by Dezeen! "The design was heavily influenced by the BeltLine and the desire to weave those ground-level pedestrian pathways into the experience of the architecture,” said design principal Tom Kundig. Design principal Kirsten Ring Murray added, "We wanted to make the building porous, which in turn helped to drive the form. It's intended to be an inviting, welcoming building that integrates with the surrounding community."
