Olson Kundig is pleased to share that Fourth Ward Office Project (led by design principals Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, Kirsten Ring Murray, FAIA, and Steven Rainville, AIA, LEED AP) has received an Award of Merit from the 2026 AIA Georgia Design & Honor Awards. This annual awards program recognizes architectural design excellence in projects and firms across Georgia State.

Fourth Ward Office Project is a 1.1 million-square-foot commercial high-rise building fronting the Atlanta BeltLine with offices and street-level retail. Organized around a central thoroughfare that doubles as public civic plaza space, the building creates new urban connections between Old Fourth Ward Park and the rapidly revitalizing Atlanta BeltLine corridor. Certified LEED Gold, the building includes sustainable design features that reduce energy consumption, address stormwater runoff, and encourage alternate forms of transportation. Utilizing extensive daylight and thermal modeling, the building facade enhances building performance while maintaining daylight and thermal comfort for occupants.
