Completed in 2024, the 16-story tower rises from a low-rise base, with a considerate, pedestrian-scaled street presence that aligns with the surrounding neighborhood fabric.
FORTH Hotel Atlanta is a contemporary boutique tower by NYC-based firm Morris Adjmi Architects that pairs an exposed concrete structure with richly layered interiors influenced by Americana and European hospitality traditions.
A glazed, fully retractable living zone reads as a transitional interior court, defined by a continuous concrete slab, exposed structural framing, and full-height sliding glass that dissolves into the internal courtyard beyond.
Dining spaces align with the courtyard, enabling cross-ventilation and consistent daylight penetration. The absence of corridors maximizes usable square feet and strengthens spatial connectivity.
Courted House features a controlled outer shell defined by cement panels and perforated steel screens. This perimeter establishes privacy while filtering light and air from the surrounding suburban context.
Designed by local firm Breakspear Architects, Courted House in Sydney, Australia, reinterprets the courtyard house typology through a gridded, contemporary residential language - merging landscape and dwelling via a central garden void.
Custom furniture pieces designed by Erik Bratsberg appear throughout the restaurant. Tables, lighting fixtures, and decorative objects were produced specifically for the project.
Honey tinted oak shelving lines sections of the dining room. The natural wood adds warmth while displaying ceramics, glassware, and small art pieces.
With an atmosphere that feels closer to a living room than a conventional restaurant, Persona's color was selected to evoke calmness and comfort.
The bathroom continues the theme of contrasting geometries - undulating mirrors and curved fixtures are juxtaposed with cut out wall details.
