TROIS RESTAURANT
Atlanta, Georgia, 2006

Trois is the third in a series of high-end Atlanta restaurants by a noted restaurateur. In its unique location in One Symphony Center, the restaurant will occupy 3 levels. The lower street level contains bar seating and table/private room seating. The plaza level with an axial view of the new proposed Santiago Calatrava Symphony Hall will provide 160-200 seats and the upper level will provide space which may be divided into a number of banquet rooms. While the street level bar is a conventional street level rectangular street front tenant space, the upper two levels are primarily defined by curved glass curtain walls on the exterior, with the only opaque wall being the curved edge of an internal parking ramp helix. The project was conceived as a series of concentric planes of varying translucency, which radiate from the existing opaque curved wall. These planes rise through the third level floor plate and provide varying levels of visual and spatial depth.
