Gold Award Winner
tvsdesign
Steven Clem, AIA, ASID, IIDA; Stephanie
Belcher, Allied Member ASID; Krista
Sammons Kral; Nancy Cartledge;
Mac Hicks; Joan Moore Moone
Recognized for TVS Atlanta renovation
Challenge: To redefine the studio work-
space to support an evolving work
process, generational dynamics, global
practice and stimulate creativity.
Solution: Reconfigure the studio environ-
ment through the development of a
creative collaborative zone that wraps the
building core providing continuous pin-
up and design display; relocate private
transparent offices to the short sides of
the space, while establishing a large
zone for personal workstations featuring
enhanced lighting and technology; create
a form and spatial rich environment to
stimulate design creativity with all aspects
of the project conceived and delivered to
achieve a LEED Silver certification.
Gold Award Winner
Carson Guest Inc.
Rita Carson Guest, FASID; Aaron Dwileski,
ASID; Phillip Jeffries, ASID; Crystal Aitken,
Allied Member ASID
Recognized for Weeks/Fuqua offices
Challenge: To make the space unusual,
not too serious, not too obvious and
have an edge. Costs had to be separated
between four companies and had to
be reasonable (client's definition) to
achieve objectives.
Solution: To be flexible enough to make
changes up to and after move-in as the
owner's business plan evolved. The
space was designed with environmen-
tally friendly products such as Larch.
Larch is easy to grow and reaches large
dimensions very quickly. It has a posi-
tive effect on the soil and landscape and
a high resistance to root rot. Larch is an
example of a wood that is rarely used
in the U.S., so meets the requirement
of being unusual, affordable and
environmentally friendly.

Rogers, ASID; Rob O'Keefe, AIA
Recognized for the Georgia Dome
Challenge: Redesigning the space to
infuse the fans with more home-team
pride while increasing the size of the
club level to open it up to the stadium
and make it more inviting, comfortable
and a place fans choose to congregate
and buy into.
Solution: Basing the palette on the
home team's colors while creating
more hospitable spaces within the
suites, super-suites and club level.
A hip, new look makes these
private spaces feel more like a
home the fans can buy into.
