An elevated urban park and building over a highway in Atlanta
︎Architecture/Urban Design
︎Masterplan
︎Public Input
Atlanta’s Park Over GA400 recognizes and makes use of an opportunity to occupy the gap created by the GA400 freeway.
The 9-acre public space over the highway provides connections that tie the neighborhood back together, as well as ample capacity for a mix of distinct spatial experiences including the shaded grove of the Commons for picnics and casual gatherings, a grand Plaza with vibrant edges and a large public display at the train stop, lush and intimate Gardens for immersive nature and art walks, and more. Construction is expected to begin in 2024 and is estimated to last two years.
