Scope New Renderings for John Portman's JP Atlanta

JP Atlanta, the forthcoming restaurant from local architecture icon John C. Portman Jr., is still on track to open Downtown this December. Now, we have a better idea of what to expect from the design. HBA is in charge of creating the space, located in the new Hotel Indigo that sits on a property Portman originally designed a half-century ago.

Plans call for a 20-foot-tall skylight, "a grand staircase seemingly floating in space," and a glass canopy-topped bar. The restaurant will offer a "tremendous level of culinary execution and attention to service in one of the city's most artistic and exciting restaurant environments," according to consultant Ray Camillo, who helped come up with the concept. Here now, get a sneak peek thanks to these exclusive renderings from HBA.
