Phipps Plaza
The high-end shopping mall, Phipps Plaza, which is located in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood, underwent a major exterior renovation last year. Known for its mix of international luxury brands that appeal to the city’s affluent shoppers, the architect took a modern approach to this aesthetic transformation with a mix of finishes in black, white and beige. MillerClapperton fabricated nearly 16,000 square feet of material for the project, which included both Metal Composite Material and Porcelain tile.
