For the team at ai3, architecture is equal parts history and creativity. As the landscape of Atlanta changes, they have continually accepted the challenge of simultaneously preserving the past while designing on the cusp of tomorrow’s trends. Peachtree Lofts is one such a success story for ai3.

Originally constructed in 1952 as a government office building and designed by acclaimed architect, Cecil Alexander, the building at 878 Peachtree is believed to be the last remaining Bauhaus structure in Atlanta. Converted to condominiums in the 1990s, the property had fallen behind in the city’s competitive condo market despite the Midtown neighborhood’s increasing popularity and available amenities.

Today, with the careful skill and creativity of ai3, Peachtree Lofts is a destination residence for style-savvy Atlantans. The building’s Bauhaus features are prominently featured and complemented by ai3’s use of ambient lighting, warm floor-coverings, furniture groupings and large-scale graphics. Signage and way-finding draw on Bauhaus style as well, featuring geometric shapes and bold colors.

Outside, Peachtree Lofts’ exterior is clean and crisp. Its iconic structure now clearly visible, the building adds a modernist element to Midtown Atlanta. ai3’s restoration extends to the rooftop deck, where sleek lounges line an L-shaped pool and soft lighting encourages an evening swim. Elsewhere on the deck, tall, linear plantings create outdoor living rooms complete with large sofas and angular chairs.
