TSW, an Atlanta-based architecture, planning and landscape architecture firm, has completed the design for the Peachtree Corners Town Green. Construction documents are underway for the two-acre Town Green as part of the city’s Town Center on Peachtree Parkway near Medlock Bridge Road. The project will break ground later this year.
“We’ve designed the active oval to be slightly sloped so it will serve as a natural amphitheater when the City of Peachtree Corners presents concerts, festivals and other events, or shows films on a large outdoor movie screen,” said landscape architect Adam Williamson, senior principal of TSW.
The Town Green will include a splash fountain, playable art, a community garden, outdoor dining areas and a path through a botanical garden that will connect the Town Green to The Forum shopping center.
“What visitors might not notice, but is crucial to the Town Green’s viability, is a sustainable stormwater management system. We’ve designed a rain-harvesting cistern and bioswales to collect rainwater as it is channeled away from the park’s surface and building rooftops. The rainwater will be stored and used as part of the Town Green’s overall irrigation,” noted Williamson.
Atlanta-based Fuqua Development recently completed the purchase of a portion of the 21-acre, undeveloped site where the Town Center will be built, and announced Cinebistro as the Center’s anchor tenant. In addition to the Town Green, the Town Center will include restaurants, ground-level retail shops, second-level office space, a veterans monument, and over 70 high-end, three-story townhomes to be built by Inline Communities LLC.
