Miraculously Saved
The craziest thing happened to me the other day. I was a little early to a committee meeting that was being held in a local architectural firm’s office so I took my seat at the conference room table hoping to catch up on some e-mails when an amazing photograph caught my eye. You see, this Home has been one of my family’s favorites for years. It had … Read More Miraculously Saved
Which one would you pick?
I Love to find patterns. Patterns in the marketplace. Patterns in emerging developments. Patterns in people’s behaviors. The crazy thing is though, so often I fail to see any of the patterns in my own life. While driving from one project to another last week, I began to connect a few of the dots. You see, I’ve never considered myself to be defined by one single architectural style. In … Read More Which one would you pick?
What’s the Thread
The other night, as my wife and I were spending a quiet evening reading, she handed me the latest edition of Southern Living stating that I had to take a look because just about everybody I ever speak about is mentioned somewhere in the issue. And sure enough, it was chock full of local talent. So, I dove right in.
The Mark of a Professional
Greetings All. You know, one thing that I love to do with this blog is to promote other individuals or entities. But, I am hesitant to plug just anyone. You see, this is something that I place a great deal of consideration into. It is something that I certainly do not take lightly. From my perspective, they have to be truly worthy. Truly knocking it out of … Read More The Mark of a Professional
A Place Of Our Own
Lately, I’ve had my dream place on the mind again. In fact, everyone in the family has been talking about their “dream” place. It’s not that we have a hard time hanging out with each other, Not at all. It’s just that we each want a place of our own. A place that we can retreat to. I think that this longing is something that is hardwired into our nature. … Read More A Place Of Our Own

Grand Transformations
I think you will most definitely enjoy this one. It was not only fun to build out, but, it also had an incredible, earth-shattering impact on the character of the Home. Located in the Brookfield Country Club right on the golf course, this home was the collection of multiple renovations performed by the previous owner. Not only did the craftsmanship leave a lot to … Read More Grand Transformations

Random Snippets 2 ~ It’s Really So Simple
Sometimes we will rule out employing quality design elements or solid architectural detailing right from the get go because we think that it may be too cost prohibitive or that our project is not up to that level of distinction. In reality though, there are so many ways to enhance the aesthetics of a home with some very simple techniques. Notice how this simple (yet … Read More Random Snippets 2 ~ It’s Really So Simple
Random Snippets 1 ~ The Art of Siting
Undoubtedly “Siting” a house on a piece of property can be one of the most exciting segments of the whole building process. I would even venture to say that this is the draw that pulls so many guys into the construction profession. This is play at the highest level ~ orchestrsting heavy equipment, managing excavating activities, executing surveying details, laying out the foundations, Then there’s setting form boards, foundation wall panels, calling … Read More Random Snippets 1 ~ The Art of Siting
The Road Less Traveled
I’m not really sure why, we in Atlanta, pay so little attention to the critical details of a Home. These are the elements that bring the home to life and allow it to truly become inspiring. A builder friend of mine, who happened to be very successful at his profession, once told me that in order to succeed in our market, you have to … Read More The Road Less Traveled
