Kennesaw Marketplace

Built on the site of a former rock quarry, the granite once procured from this area and the wooden scaffolding used in the extraction process heavily influenced POH+W Architects’ design for this local retail center.

Stone pilasters and accents paired with rich wood siding are the only clues to this site’s former life. A variety of windows, awnings, canopies and brick vary the streetscape.

Concept Design Sketch:

The challenging site had an abandoned 95’ deep quarry that had filled with water. After millions of gallons of water was pumped out, the enormous hole was filled.

POH+W Architects prepared numerous sightline studies for prospective tenants to prove their visibility from the adjacent roads.
