CSSI themes mall in Atlanta
Working with 3D Group, CSSI built architectural facades for the new upscale Mall of Georgia outside Atlanta. CSSI built large portals out of tubular steel for three sections of the mall, finishing them in the Piedmont, Plains and Mountain styles of architecture.

The mountain style was defined by faux wood beams with butterfly connectors and a cedar shake roof. Piedmont had a large circular rose window under a semi-circular cowl roof. Plains style was more linear, with carved pilasters and a gable roof.

All units had internal and external lighting fixtures. The portals involved so many custom carved medallions and panels that CSSI's Kevin Taylor made casts from his carved originals to make their reproduction easier.

Project Manager Gary Heitz worked with David Grain-ger and David Chapman of 3D Group, while Dan Yuen, Ken Glucksberg and Eric Branson led the job through the shop. Dan Yuen spent about a month onsite installing the job.
