At a pivotal intersection with multiple driver and pedestrian entry points, Buckhead Plaza needed warmth, approachability, and attention that aligned with the shifting and elevated neighborhood of Buckhead Atlanta. New wayfinding methods such as a superscaled arrival green wall anchoring the new valet turnaround, a consistent wood slat backdrop for retail and restaurant signage, urban-scaled placemaking elements that respond to the microzones within the campus, and a classic ‘black-tie’-inspired palette all allowed the warmth of the architecture and landscape to shine and be activated.
