Residential Portfolio

Our residential work is the backbone of our business. We respect the best of traditional and modern design. But that’s not the most important thing to us. We strive to fit a design to its site and to its owner’s style and synthesize that into a strong cohesive statement. By careful analysis of both context and client, we strive to create a distinctive home that will endure over time. A house that “lives well”.

Our work can be found in Atlanta neighborhoods of Virginia Highlands, Morningside, Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Alpharetta and in North Georgia and Alabama. We have Lake projects at Lake Lanier, Lake Burton, and Lake Oconee and as far away as Lake Champlain in New York.

We have a strong presence in Florida panhandle communities like Watercolor, Watersound, Eastern Lake and Navarre Beach. We are on many approved lists including most St. Joe developments and the communities like Rosemary Beach and Wild Heron. We are frequent visitors to the northwest Florida panhandle known as 30A, SoWalor the Emerald Coast.

Watersound Camp Creek House I

This house is built next to Clear Creek Lake in Watersound Resort. Watersound is a resort located on the Gulf of Mexico near Seagrove, Florida between Panama City and Destin.

Watersound Camp Creek House II

This house is built on the same street as the first Camp Creek house and has the same lake/dune/gulf views. There is more room at the front of the house to create more outdoor living space.

Watersound Courtyard House

When we don’t have views to exploit, we create nice, private courtyard spaces to look onto. These spaces are great for pools and outdoor living much like the Romans built centuries ago. This house is in an L-shape and has a detached garage/apartment to create enclosure for a courtyard with pool...[Read More]

Watersound Peninsula House

The lot for this house had a long curved front. The shape of the house is a reflection of this. It has a façade of gable/gambrel/gable where the gables are 45 degree to the center gambrel. As you walk along the curve, the facades face you. The fulcrum is the crow’s nest which has 360 degree views of the gulf, the lake and all of Watersound...[Read More]
