That&#8217;s why Lorenc+Yoo jumped at the opportunity to design new canopies for the 15-year-old building, designed by famed architect Philip Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Standing 55 stories tall, 191 Peachtree houses the regional headquarters for consulting firm Deloitte, the home offices of Cousins Properties and other well-known businesses. Lorenc+Yoo was charged with creating a series of canopies that would allow visitors to easily identify the building, as well as its tenants, shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-766\" style=\"margin-right: 5px;\" title=\"191_3_small\" src=\"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/191_3_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"164\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Lorenc+Yoo design team studied the context of the building &#8212; its scale, color and classical design &#8212; to determine the vision for the canopies. The final design highlights the building&#8217;s ornamentation and adds complementary features, such as frosted glass, brass accents and a new &#8220;191&#8221; emblem. Lantern-like elements bookend the canopies and anchor the cables that hold them in place, while skylights provide an aura of natural light beneath the entranceways.<\/p>\n<p>191 Peachtree&#8217;s new canopy signage system is classical yet fresh. It pays homage to Philip Johnson&#8217;s monumental building while displaying design hallmarks unique to Lorenc+Yoo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With its tall, curved windows and limestone fa\u00e7ade, the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":765,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=764"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":768,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/764\/revisions\/768"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
