We are temporarily closed as we deal with widespread power, internet, and cellular outages in the Augusta area due to hurricane Helene. We will return to work once those have been restored. Our thanks go out to front line responders and our hearts go out to all those affected in our community!
Who wouldn't want to take their breaks in this light-filled and calming space? Our designers carefully chose natural tones and wood patterns to create a warm, welcoming environment with a touch of hospitality. Whether you're relaxing or just heating up last night's lasagna, this space makes you feel like you're being taken care of – even if you’re the chef! 😆 #2KMArchitects #InteriorDesign
The F&M Operations Center is complete! This efficient, compact facility houses private and open offices, a conference room, break room, and more, all designed to support the backbone of the organization. At the heart of the building is a light-filled atrium with clerestory windows, bringing natural light into the open office cubicles and surrounding spaces. This modern structure takes inspiration from the adjacent main bank but with an updated, energy-efficient design. #2KMArchitects #WorkplaceDesign #NewConstruction
🚧 Exciting Project Update! 🚧 We are thrilled to announce our involvement in the revitalization of the Children’s Hospital of Georgia (CHoG) Lobby! 🎉 This marks the first major renovation since the hospital opened its doors in 1998, and we couldn't be more honored to help transform this important space. The existing lobby is showing signs of wear, with failing tile flooring, stained ceiling panels, and insufficient lighting. But that’s all about to change! New Improvements Include: • Elegant, durable terrazzo flooring • Modern metal ceilings • An upgraded greeter station • New furniture and lighting to enhance both functionality and style We’re especially excited about the lighting upgrades, which will not only brighten the space with wall wash fixtures but also allow for flexible, mood-setting designs using RGB color-changing sconces. All materials have been carefully chosen to meet hospital-grade standards, ensuring they’re as beautiful as they are durable. 💪 The project kicked off earlier this month, and we anticipate completion by late spring. Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this vision to life! #2KMArchitects #CHoGRevitalization #HealthcareDesign #ArchitectureOfAugusta #LobbyTransformation

It’s important for designers to know when and where to utilize different building materials. In this case, we had the challenge of needing to remove and then infill existing concrete wall panels and storefront glass to install two new MRI machines. Once the panels were removed, we had the option to go back with pre-manufactured concrete wall panels, however this would require a complete new structural analysis on the facade. We instead chose to put back EIFS panels, made of rigid foam board and troweled on finish coats, to mimic the appearance of concrete at a fraction of the weight. Also, these panels were made to be removable for the future change out of equipment. Our job includes problem solving and planning for the future, and we tackled both of these issues with this EIFS installation. #architecturalfacade #EIFS #renovation

Thrilled to unveil the stunning transformation of Augusta University's Admissions Building, The Benet House!

✨ Transformative Journey in the Rose Room! 🌹 Swipe left to witness the incredible metamorphosis of our office sanctuary. From a forgotten space hidden under layers of neglect, we uncovered stunning murals that time had tried to conceal.

Another Historic Renovation is in the works! The Benet House on Augusta University’s Summerville Campus is getting a bit of a facelift, including the replacement of its deteriorating stone columns located at the front of the house. The existing columns were thoroughly measured on site by 2KM and the contractor to ensure an incomparable replication would be created, maintains the beautiful, original character of this historic house. The measurements were then sent to a manufacturer in France, that has constructed the columns out of limestone! These beautiful new pieces of art will be shipped to the States here soon for installation!

Often times in new construction or addition projects, we request that a sample wall be made of the exterior envelope so that we can ensure it is built properly and the Client approves of the look. At the Childrens Hospital of GA, we had to remove existing concrete panels to be able to lift the new MRI machines into the space, because they wouldn’t fit in the elevator. Instead of going back with a new concrete panel, we are matching the look with an EIFS system that is lighter and more energy efficient. Here, the Contractor has done a great job of matching the existing look with a new material! #renovation #architecturalfacade
When we purchased the Phinizy House, there were layers of deterioration and neglect that we had to correct before we moved in. This picture shows an area in the back breezeway where windows were busted out, siding was rotting, and vines were growing up the building. We’ve since corrected all these issues and more by pressure washing the brick, replacing the siding, repairing the wood moldings, and constructing a new back porch out of ipe decking. The area was transformed from a trash pit to an outdoor break space. #historicrenovation #construction #architectureofaugusta #2kmarchitects

As the Wolfpack students are welcomed back to the halls of Greenbrier High School today, they will undoubtedly notice various enhancements to the building interior. Over the summer, we have been steadily working on several upgrades including new HVAC systems (to beat the heat), updated toilet rooms, and new ceilings throughout. One of the most striking transformations is in the cafeteria, where we created a multi-dimensional ceiling design comprising of several geometric clouds over a lofted central area using @armstrongcommercialceilings Axiom Vector product. We’re glad to see it turned out exactly like the rendering! Let us know what you think of the result! #Rendering #InteriorDesign

Anddddd Employee of the Month for June is……. Tom Rehder!! Tom has been with 2KM since 2002, celebrating his 20th year with our company just this past October! During his time with 2KM, Tom has served in a plethora of roles including Project Manager, Healthcare Equipment Coordinator, Specification Writer, AND our In-House I.T. Liaison. This past month (and the past 21 years) Tom has applied his expertise to provide quality control to several projects, allowing 2KM to deliver the best possible product to our clients. Tom’s willingness and ability to assist his coworkers when technology breaks down (usually by saying “turn it off”… “okay now back on”… “voila!”) is a key factor in keeping our company working in harmony, and for that we are extremely grateful! Cheers to Tom for steadying the ship!!!
We refer to this part of the Phinizy House as “the Bridge”. It connects the second floors of the original Main House and the former Horse Stable. It is supported by an industrial looking steel truss that spans the full length. Renovations involved stripping away the existing siding and replacing it with composite wood siding for durability. We also added (4) three-column wood and brick piers to reflect the craftsman details that were discovered within the house during renovations. Other additions to our Employee Entrance include a new stair, ADA ramp, and lattice pergola. #historicrenovation #construction #architectureofaugusta #2kmarchitects
