Square Feet Studio

This past week we held our second annual retreat with our new partner team at the Skyline Lodge in Highlands, NC. Together we established our strategic and aspirational goals for the next twelve months. While it was a working session, we shared good meals, evening convos by the bonfire, and ended the retreat with our extended SFS families. It is always a time to reset and celebrate all that we have accomplished in the last year, as well as set our sights on the continued evolution of square feet studio.

Join us for the MA! Architecture Tours in October 2024, featuring 6 standout commercial projects, including the innovative Ramblin’ Reck Garage at Georgia Tech designed by Square Feet Studio. This Net-Zero, LEED Platinum-certified pavilion beautifully blends tradition with modern sustainability. It’s more than just a garage—it's a tribute to Georgia Tech's iconic Ramblin’ Reck, with features like a spinning turntable and glass pivot doors for public engagement. Join us for timed tours, presented by the architects and designers, for an in-depth look at this iconic space. Book your spot when slots open in mid-September—don’t miss your chance! If you can’t join the timed tour, for the first time ever, we’ve created audio guides you can listen to whilst visiting the building at your own pace so that everyone can get the most from the tour.

Small or large in size, beautiful energy-efficient, community-driven buildings, can benefit users, cities, and the planet. Check out my latest Perspectives in Architecture column in Rough Draft Atlanta as I highlight Georgia Institute of Technology's Ramblin Reck Garage. This net-zero building designed by Square Feet Studio is small in size, yet large in design and environmental excellence. Thanks to editor Collin Kelley for the continued support of my column! https://lnkd.in/eidkqF6p You'll also appreciate my #UpliftingPlaces podcast interview with Square Feet Studio architects Emily Mastropietro and John Bencich and Ramblin Reck driver Matthew Kistner about the winding road to create a new home for the school's iconic Ford Model A. Whether you are a Georgia Tech former or current student or not, you'll enjoy our conversation! https://lnkd.in/eDczsVbJ #UpliftingPlaces #ExcellenceInDesign #PerspectivesInArchitecture

We’re proud to announce that Breaker Breaker has been awarded a 2024 Award of Excellence by Atlanta’s Urban Design Commission. Working from the project’s onset with the Reynoldstown community, we embraced the site’s former use as a steel fabrication yard and repurposed an existing building set for demolition into a super-roof, both to provide shade and shelter to much of the exterior while also honoring the neighborhoods industrial history. Congratulations to our clients Bridger Properties and their partners Alex Brounstein and Johnny Farrow.
