BELTLINE REVIVED

RE-ENVISIONING ATLANTA

Inspired by Ryan Gravel’s initial intent for the BeltLine, this project aims to provide an affordable housing solution for all-incomes that reflects the diversity of Atlanta. The site is located along the Beltline, a former railway corridor that now encircles Atlanta’s urban core with walking paths and urban ammenities. Each unit is designed specifically with Atlanta’s diverse demographic in mind, to create a mixed-income community. A modular design allows this building to be constructed quickly and inexpensively, while the placement of units determine its form.This way of constructing creates an open, porous design where private balconies and public terraces weave through the units to encourage outdoor living and socialization. The first levels of these buildings are designated for small businesses and community organizations to provide job opportunities and essential services for residents, furthering the support of affordability.
