Project Description: Chastain and Company provided design, and project management services for the atrium (or common area) of the Foundry, a shared office building.  The goal of the design is to provide tenants with a variety of attractive spaces to work and socialize.  One interesting challenge is that the owners wish the design to accommodate the space’s vintage brick laid flooring. The building was originally used as a metal foundry, and many elements from this period remain intact.  Chastain and Company designed custom furniture to be self-supporting, including a T-shaped bar and S-shaped half round booths.

Project Description: Located beneath the iconic Neighborhood Theatre in NoDa, Chastain and Company's role in this project was to transform "The Underground" into occupiable, rentable square footage by ensuring compliance with code.  Chastain and Company provided a clean and simple design for The Underground, understanding the need to reserve most of the budget to bring the space to code.  Chastain and Company served as the designer, project manager, and general contractor for the project.  The Underground is now fully leased to five individual businesses and features upgraded shared bathrooms, abundant light for safety and comfort, and ADA accessibility.
