With over $50 billion in assets under management, Roark Capital Group has risen, over the past two decades, to become the largest private equity group in Georgia. Headquartered in Midtown Atlanta, their offices grew incrementally over time, eventually taking up one full floor. And while most of the expansions had extended the design language of the original buildout, the space had started to become less cohesive and wasn’t fully reflecting the evolution their personality had taken.

Our design began by analyzing their existing workspaces and working with them to envision a mix of uses that reflected their working methods, company culture, and expanded the existing design vocabulary. The resulting solution introduced a new, expanded entry sequence anchored by a new monumental stair connecting both floors and a suite of new meeting rooms. We worked hard to create a variety of collaborative work rooms, a new board room suite, and more opportunities for staff to come together socially.

The resulting renovations, completed with everyone continuing to work in place, brings a freshness and polish that continues to reflect their corporate values. Custom designed elements were extensively incorporated throughout the design, including all major public spaces.
