KRONBERG WALL - Architecture * Design * Development

Introducing KRONBERG WALL, a boutique design practice, formed by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in architecture, planning, urban design, policy making and real estate development.

You'll be hearing a lot more about CONSCIOUS URBAN PLACEMAKING, which is melding a community’s assets, inspiration, and potential, to create public spaces that promote health, happiness, and well-being. Expert in urban placemaking, Kronberg Wall is the recipient of the prestigious GRAND PRIZE AT CONGRESS FOR THE NEW URBANISM’S 14TH ANNUAL CHARTER AWARDS for the recently completed project in New Orleans, Iberville Offsites. Details below!

Kronberg Wall are architects, contextual thinkers who consider: place, people, past, present, future, form, and function—creators of structures and spaces that integrate them all by translating culture into design. They provide a full range of development, design, and construction administration services for clients, specializing in the commercial redevelopment of in-town neighborhoods and communities across the United States. The Kronberg Wall team develops distinctive places where people’s experiences are as elevated as the architecture—a reflection of the firm's sensitivity to every transition—from the geography of a project, to its role and place in its community, to the moments people spend inhabiting it.

NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVATORS

We believe in cities, we believe in community and we like to design restaurants that become places of encounter, places that build communities, places where people can bike and walk to and say hello to their neighbors on their way there. Atlanta, New Orleans and other cities in the Southeast are full of culture, and our mission is to translate this culture into architecture and placemaking. READ MORE

URBAN IN-FILL HOUSING

New Orleans, Atlanta and other cities in the Southeast are becoming more urbanized, and the demand for housing is becoming more critical. New Orleans is one of those cities that is rich in culture and where historic neighborhoods are reinventing themselves. Kronberg Wall has collaborated with the Redmellon Redevelopment and New Orleans Redevelopment Agency (NORA) for the last three years in the renovation of more 100 units in historic neighborhoods.

ADAPTIVE REUSE

Old structures with interesting histories give neighborhoods character and teach us about their past. Our mission is to make these (sometimes dilapidated) warehouses a focal point of their neighborhoods, implementing development strategies that are highly responsive to the context. We have transformed the life of these old structures into tech offices, mixed-use spaces, and performing centers like the New Orleans Jazz Market. READ MORE

OUR SERVICES

When revitalization of our distressed neighborhoods is done well, it is almost unrivaled in the ability to advance simultaneously the “triple bottom line” goals of sustainability: improving the environment, the economy, and social equity. — People Habitat, Kaid Benfield

ARCHITECTURE

Our process is based on the idea that architecture and development can be restructured and combined, creating new efficiencies in the design and construction process. As architects, we design detail-oriented and practical solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients, and as placemakers, we use our architectural resources as catalysts for public discourse.

DESIGN

Design is the core of our firm. Our projects range in scale and  fall into different categories and phases of discovery, but they all share the same idea that conscious design can transform societies, shape cities, and improve the lives of residents in our communities

DEVELOPMENT

We believe in both design and profitability. We carefully analyze an entire project and consider the site, zoning, tax credits possibilities, the cultural and economic environment, a client’s needs and budget constraints, as well as construction techniques and sustainability. Our goal is to create great projects in which design, finance, and technology work together.

Kronberg Wall Wins Prestigious Award

ATLANTA ARCHITECTURE FIRM HONORED WITH GRAND PRIZE AT CONGRESS FOR THE NEW URBANISM’S 14TH ANNUAL CHARTER AWARDS

Atlanta (May 21, 2015) – Atlanta-based Kronberg Wall Architects earned top honors at the 14th annual Charter Awards hosted by the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU) earlier this month in Dallas, Tex. Taking the Grand Prize for the rehabilitation project Iberville Offsites, representatives from Kronberg Wall accepted the award.

Located in New Orleans, the Iberville Offsites project combines historic preservation with green retrofitting through the restoration of 46 historic, vernacular dwellings using environmentally-friendly technology and building practices. The project team benefited from state and federal tax credit programs, including a federal Choice Neighborhoods grant, to make modern, green living accessible to low-income and racially-diverse long-time residents.

Iberville Offsites Before and After

"Iberville Off-Site Housing, completed in 2014, consists of the rehabilitation of forty-six scattered historic homes in New Orleans that were formerly vacant and blighted. This is the second phase of a larger project by the same team that includes a total of more than one hundred units. The homes are part of a larger Choice Neighborhoods Redevelopment Plan, a program by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development that supports locally driven strategies to address struggling neighborhoods with distressed public housing through a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation." READ MORE - www.redmellon.com
