Bad Lust (2016)
Sandy Springs, Georgia, U.S.A.
Mixed-Use, Studio Apartments
Bad Lust would be a bad idea to actually construct now. Let me state why, and why I'm bringing this subject up, first. One of the current buildings sitting in the place of Bad Lust is a brand new Burger King that was remodeled only a few years back. They tore down the original structure and designed this more fancy like one. I liked the new building, and did feel bad just a little bit that it would have to be demolished only after three years of standing. The reason of bringing this up first is, well, to honor the new style that was constructed, the new Bad Lust building would have the same material as the new Burger King; The red cladding, the dark with lines focal point, the tan cladding, and the gray sun setters, and also I put BK as one of the building anchors (Yeah, Just by looking at the logo you can tell)
Bad Lust would consist of no more than 42 or 41 studio apartments, and commercial tenants on the first level, including Burger King. This complex would have NO POOL, and Burger King would have NO DRIVE THRU for Eco-friendly reasons.
About the parking, There is at least one parking space per residential tenant, and a few more just incase. Commercial parking however is limited in space, unless there's an alternative. Another idea would be to park at the nearby City Walk Kroger nearby.
I used a unique lighting case on the building. It's gray, but I gave it pentagon like circular shape. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, Look at the gray objects on the dark lined material where Burger King is, there's one between each window on the third floor.
FACT, Sandy Springs actually did plan the site design of Bad Lust. The image above shows the city's real revitalization plan. The exception is that the real plan was ONLY Retail, NOT Mixed-Use. (I circled the Bad Lust location in red)
The map was designed around 2012, and the plan to extinguish the current Burger King, and another occupant could actually happen since the city is trying to have a more downtown look along Roswell and the streets that go across it, but, major city projects differ as the city gets more advance into their plans. (On the map, look at the street where you see those two roundabouts and they diverge into two streets, That blue colored building in the middle, was changed into this performing arts theater etc.)
The purpose of the title 'Bad Lust' is to show how tempting lust is of the world, and how it can lead to evil, if not guilt.
