FIRM / Kronberg Wall is an architectural firm that provides smart design solutions for challenging projects.
.
Kronberg Wall was founded on the belief that personal involvement and dedication, as well as a commitment to improve the businesses, neighborhoods, and larger communities we touch, are essential to a successful project. Continuing in this spirit, both principals, Eric Kronberg and Adam Wall, remain directly involved with every project from start to finish.
.
Our project types include new construction, renovation and adaptive re-use of light commercial, mixed use, and residential properties, facilitated by our unique ability to tackle zoning, administrative, and civic challenges that other firms can’t handle.
.
Eric Kronberg AIA, LEED AP graduated from the Tulane School of Architecture. Since then, he has worked in Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia. In Florida, projects consisted of high-end beachfront residences in Naples and Miami. Eric then spent a year and a half focusing on office and warehouse projects in Atlanta, before joining Brock Green Architects in 2000, where he
specialized in light-commercial and multi-family project types. After helping complete award-winning projects, including MidCity Lofts in Midtown Atlanta, he earned his architectural license in 2003, joined the American Institute of Architects, and spent a year as an architectural and construction consultant for the Mon Ami winery in Port Clinton, OH. Eric co-founded Kronberg Wall Architects in 2004. He is the Zoning Chair for his neighborhood, the Organized Neighborhood of Edgewood.
.
Adam Wall AIA, LEED AP grew up in the Atlanta area and is a graduate of Sprayberry High School in Marietta. He earned a B.A. in Architecture from the Auburn University School of Architecture, Design, and Construction. Prior to becoming a Registered Architect in Georgia and co-founding Kronberg Wall in 2004, Adam worked at Fowler Design Associates in Marietta, and Brock Green Architects (now with Lord Aeck Sargent Architecture) in Atlanta, where he was engaged in a variety of office, warehouse, light-commercial, multi-family and adaptive re-use projects. Adam, his wife Claire, and family live in Decatur’s MAK Historic District.
E N V I R O N M E N TA L S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y / Kronberg Wall is firmly committed to responsive in-town redevelopment.
.
.
.
.
Re-use and redevelopment are the most responsible and sustainable alternatives to the continuing pattern of suburban sprawl. Densifying our urban core provides better options for pedestrian and transit solutions while reducing the impact of traffic congestion and other environmental issues. We see this as the Atlanta region’s major challenge for the future and we are working to be part of the solution. Certification We realize that cost-effective certification can be challenging to achieve on smaller projects. We balance sustainable desires with budget limitations to achieve the most sustainable outcome.
.
Accreditation Both Eric Kronberg and Adam Wall are LEED® accredited and EarthCraft certified and are committed to seeing that all other team members achieve this same accreditation.
LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™ is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. EarthCraft House™ is a great, locally based sustainable certification program for individual homes of new construction and renovation. Recently, the program has expanded to include multi-family and community developments. KW can integrate their requirements at the design stage of your project to achieve a high-performance, environmentally stable, durable, and resource-efficient dwelling.
SERVICES / Kronberg Wall provides full-service options for both architecture and planning. PLANNING Whether you are redeveloping a vacant site, converting a warehouse, or simply expanding your home, the first step is to identfy how maximize your project’s potential. At Kronberg Wall we provide the due diligence and critical guidance to meet the challenges of your site and transform them into a successful project, before a single wall or window is drawn.
.
Site Analysis Our approach is to integrate sound planning with skilled principles of design. This process involves strategically balancing the site constraints with building, program, parking, and green-space requirements to limit any zoning complications – all while maximizing your design opportunities.
.
Variances & Rezoning By approaching each client’s desires with an understanding of neighborhood and city requirements, we provide strategic zoning advice for your project. In those cases where the viability of a project hinges on a variance or rezoning, Kronberg Wall can steward your project through that process, from applications and presentations to negotiations and approvals.
ARCHITECTURE Once we have an understanding of the specific planning requirements for your site, our focus shifts to design and construction. We specialize in providing responsive design solutions for the most demanding projects and challenging sites.
.
Design Approach Three concepts of design are paramount to every one of our projects – materiality, presence, and significance. We believe in projects that engage occupants and passersby with intelligent design and smart use of materials, buildings and sites that interconnect with the street and public realm through a focus on balance and proportion. Our projects enhance the spaces they occupy in the community, both literally and symbolically, delivering renewal and improved functionality per square foot. These principles are applied whether we are designing a contemporary townhouse, a loft conversion, a traditional neighborhood, or a commercial development.
.
D esign Services We can provide both design and engineering services for new construction, renovations, conversions, and additions for residential, multi-family, and commercial projects, no matter how complex the zoning or project requirements are.
PORTFOLIO / Kronberg Wall’s portfolio is comprised of a diverse group of residential, multi-family and commercial use projects.
.
At Kronberg Wall we believe that a successful project is foremost a viable one. We combine creative and functional design with an extensive knowledge of site requirements to help achieve your goals. By providing both architectural and planning services, we offer solutions for all stages of your project.
.
Our achievements cover a range of award-winning projects – new construction, renovations, conversions, and additions for residential, multi-family, and commercial projects. Our chief objective is to find the most appropriate design solution that will satisfy each individual site, project, and client.
