Taking up a whole city block in Atlanta’s Midtown, 1105 West Peachtree is a mixed-use development with a Class A 31-story office tower anchored by Google, the Epicurean’s 19 floors of luxury condominiums, the Autograph 178-key hotel, the nearly one-acre Sky Terrace and an amenity deck and green space connecting the three towers. 

MillerClapperton fabricated and installed metal materials for the three structures, though the majority of the cladding construction firm’s involvement was with the 730,000-square-foot office tower. 

In all, 59,800 square feet of Metal Composite Material (MCM) was designed for the building’s exterior, including office column frames, spandrels, and fascia for the balconies. 

“The architectural intent was for the columns and spandrels to look like steel beams, and this was achieved through a unique application of MCM in two custom colors and the shape of the panel profile,” said a representative from MillerClapperton. 

The columns and spandrels were also specially engineered to work in sync with a custom dynamic RGBW LED façade lighting design highlighting the exoskeleton’s metal beams.
