“Good bones” is something you hear on an episode of “Fixer Upper,” but it’s also how Kellen Minor, principal at ai3, describes his latest project: Stockyards Atlanta. With the five buildings, which used to be reserved for livestock, but will soon be reserved for diners, office tenants and bowlers, Kellen said they wanted to be as authentic as possible.
“We focused on maintaining the aesthetic of the buildings and the neighborhood, while also organically designing around the openings already available in the buildings,” he said.
The facade features brick, wood and steel and is reminiscent of livestock cars on trains.
