About
The design and construction of The Kendeda Building demonstrates that Living Buildings are possible in even the most challenging climates. Located in the heart of Atlanta, the Kendeda building represents a tectonic shift, with the potential to precipitate such change that the southern ground might actually move, its people now eager for buildings that are as gentle to the environment as they are to the people that use them.
