Adjacent to the
Beltline tram stop,
this project proposes
the adaptive reuse
of the an old boiler
building for theCity
Hall East complex.
This design proposes
to turn the building
into an urban farm
and restaurant
by extending the
topography to
literally form new
connections as well
as reconnect the
city to it’s source
of local food.
