DETAILS
MARTA is transforming one of their largest and busiest train stations with a modern, light-filled design. Located in the Martin Luther King corridor, the project will replace much of the heavy concrete with sleek, transparent structures, creating a more open and inviting space. A stunning PTFE canopy will wrap around the train platforms like a chrysalis, while glass curtain walls will flood the concourse below with natural light. In collaboration with Artbound, MARTA’s public art program, we’re also integrating artwork into the design, making it an essential part of the station’s revitalization.
