Things I pass on the way to and from the gym…
The block of 8th Street between West Peachtree and Cypress Street holds some low key structures that are sure to bite the dust come the next big building boom, like this pair of single story mid-century office buildings.
I’m especially fond of this one for its flat overhang and tightly composed entrance bay.
This 1920s apartment charmer sits in between the above building and Ecco. Without knowing what’s around it you’d think it was sitting somewhere in Virginia Highland or over by the park.
And then you have the awful Midtown Marta Station parking lot. No doubt at some point this will be developed (I mean come on, it’s right next to transit AND a Publix), and it’ll be interesting to see how the new buildings address the challenging topography.
