Upper Westside

Overview

Upper Westside is an innovative, modern, farm-inspired mixed-use project in the heart of Atlanta, GA. This visionary development redefines urban living by seamlessly blending modern amenities with a touch of nostalgia, creating a unique and welcoming environment. The project aims to create a vibrant community atmosphere, fostering connections and enhancing the overall neighborhood experience.

Approach

Ironwood Design Group’s approach to Upper Westside was driven by the vision of creating a dynamic and engaging central amenity space that harmonizes leisure and functionality. At the heart of this development is a contemporary pool, a refreshing retreat for residents. But it’s not just about the pool. Adjacent to it is a bustling retail and entry plaza, featuring a sizable movie screen that adds an entertaining dimension to the space. This plaza is more than just an entry point, it’s a catalyst for community engagement, aiming to bring residents closer and strengthen neighborhood bonds.

The urban dog park, a key feature of Upper Westside, is not just a space for pets, but a space that enhances the community feel. This innovative area provides a fun and functional space for residents and their pets, fostering interaction and camaraderie among pet owners. The Bark N’ Brew play center, designed to be a social hub, is a place where residents can relax and socialize while their pets play, further adding to the welcoming atmosphere of Upper Westside.

With its large movie screen, the carefully curated plaza space creates opportunities for communal gatherings and shared experiences, making it a focal point for social activities. The design of Upper Westside blends modern farm-inspired aesthetics with urban functionality, creating a harmonious environment that appeals to a diverse group of residents.
