Project
Description
Premier Atlanta general contractor Cornerstone partnered with Ballard Spahr, a nationally recognized law firm, to transform their Atlanta office into a modern, collaborative space. The project began with a negotiated fee-based contract for both preconstruction and construction services.
Cornerstone worked closely with Ballard Spahr and design firm ASD | Sky through multiple rounds of design development pricing to finalize the overall design and construction budget. Throughout the project, Cornerstone coordinated extensively with Ballard Spahr’s Philadelphia-based IT team to integrate low voltage, security, and AV infrastructure, ensuring a seamless technological environment.
The new office space represents a dramatic departure from traditional law firm aesthetics, embodying the “Ballard Way” philosophy of excellence in both form and function. A striking Arktura wall and ceiling system in the reception area and elevator lobby immediately captures attention, setting the tone for the entire space.
Large meeting areas with fully engineered office storefront systems promote transparency and collaboration, while open ceiling concepts in the lounge area create a sense of spaciousness. The newly designed law library features sleek floating shelves, blending functionality with modern design. Glass-partitioned offices maintain privacy while contributing to the overall sense of openness, allowing the space to take full advantage of dramatic midtown skyline views.
This project showcases Cornerstone’s ability to bring innovative design concepts to life in the corporate legal sector. The result is a forward-thinking office environment that balances Ballard Spahr’s needs for privacy and collaboration, while providing a fresh, inspiring backdrop for legal excellence.
