Follow on Google News | Oakland Park Wins Atlanta Downtown Design Excellence AwardAward honors downtown Atlanta businesses for their design innovations
By: Flammer Relations, Inc. Winners were decided through a combination of professional judging and online public voting. Atlanta Downtown Design Excellence Award judges conducted onsite evaluations of each entry and then during the fall, the public was able to vote for their favorites online at CAP’s website. This year’s judges included Richard Laub of Georgia State University, Laura Moody of Savannah College of Art & Design, Scot Reilly of Retromodern and Eric Capossela of Atlanta Magazine. Oakland Park, a 65-home mixed-use residential condominium and commercial project located in the Historic Grant Park neighborhood on Memorial Drive, is Atlanta's first LEED Silver certified multi-family building. Achieving LEED certification means that a third party has examined Oakland Park and its design, construction and potential for energy efficiency, and verified the developers made sound decisions that resulted in a more efficient construction site, with very little waste going to the landfill, and in a high performance building that will use less energy over time. In fact, 1,500 tons (or 80 percent) of the waste generated during construction was diverted from landfills and recycled. Oakland Park's one and two bedroom residences feature bamboo floors, oversized, operable, low-emittance windows, eco-friendly tile and paint, high-performance plumbing fixtures and energy efficient appliances. Oakland Park has become a catalyst for change within the neighborhood, providing opportunities for new businesses and a place for residential and retail to come together in a convenient, self-contained urban setting close to the amenities that downtown Atlanta and the surrounding neighborhood offer. Oakland Park includes Foxgloves and Ivy floral design studio, Stella Neighborhood Trattoria restaurant, and will include additional retail fronting Memorial Drive and Park Avenue.
