A mid-century warehouse located in Northwest Atlanta becomes the new home of Atlanta Community Squash (ACS) and A+ Squash, a nonprofit that serves underprivileged young people.

Being a new organization looking to make a splash in the Atlanta sports community, the client tasked us with designing its new facility to very exact technical specifications in order for it to qualify as an official Squash sports venue, capable of hosting international competitions, as well as helping them to develop their logo and communicate their brand and values throughout their new space. Along with the precise technical execution of the Squash courts and lighting design, the architectural scope included reconfiguring the mezzanine to hold two offices, the redesign of the entry sequence, and new graphic murals on the facade. Highlights of the interior-design scope of work include an energetic lighting design and custom-painted graphics in the A+ classrooms, corridors, and main court space.
