Freeside Atlanta – Speculative Spaces

Posted by kc on Jun 13th, 2009

Metropolitan Industrial:

The “Metro” is a large warehouse space divided into three main partitioned areas. The first area has an enclosed space occupying roughly 60% of the width of the space. That enclosed area has a couple of single-office sized rooms (one of which is psychadelic painted with glow-in-the-dark stars) and a bathroom with a working shower in it.

The second partitioned area has a kitchen built in it, complete with counter space, a kitchen sink, a range, a dishwasher, and an “island” counter with electrical power and storage space. At the back of the second partition is another enclosed space with two small office-style rooms, another closed-sized bathroom, and a weird small unfinished alcove-like room (not photographed).

The third partitioned area is open warehouse space, with a small semi-wall dividing it from the two large roll-up garage doors in the back.

My photos do not include the front area’s enclosed rooms because they had dark painted walls and no light whatsoever. My attempts to photograph them did not result in anything of use. I’m also missing some of the “nook and cranny” rooms/spaces for the same reason. I think I captured the majority of the space fairly well though.

I also didn’t photograph the bathrooms in either site.

Green Industrial:
Green Industral site is a fairly standard office/warehouse combo. The front consists of two foyer rooms with tile floors. From there, there’s a standard single-office sized room, a strange “alcove room” (again!), a conference / presentation room, and then the warehouse. There are two small bathrooms as well, one of which I’m told can be converted to a shower instead at possibly no additional cost.

I photographed one of the two foyers, but not the other. (They’re roughly the same, save for the front door.) I also did not photograph the small alcove room or the bathrooms.

Suburban Textile Mill

Posted by kc on Mar 28th, 2009

A coworker turned me on to this decaying textile mill in the middle of this West-side Atlanta Suburb.  I called up TK and we headed out there and took some photos.  Man, this place is decayed!  The main plant is (was?) two stories, but in many places the water damage from the leaking roof has caused both the roof and second floor to collapse onto the first.

The office section has a couple of rooms that are no longer indoors.   Anyhow, enjoy the photos!

It does a body good…

Several months ago I visited a decomissioned milk packaging plant that I once worked in as an IT engineer.  Unfortunatly, by the time I dropped by most of the interesting stuff had been removed.

Though it looks like the Kool-Aid Man had gone on a rampage just before I got there!

Shower Door Warehouse

Posted by kc on Sep 13th, 2008

Just an empty warehouse in an industrial area of Atlanta.  This place has apparently been empty for about a decade, and has been well decorated with graffiti.  Oddly, around some corners and off an empty showroom is a small room with two immaculate, untouched shower models.
