Studio One Architecture
Atlanta, GA
ABOVE: The house is sited on the high side of the undulating property, sliced through a narrow gauge between existing setbacks, easements, and buffers. Conceived as a
home for three generations, the design translated the program into an open plan of discrete zones of both public and private spaces. Organized as two volumes slipping
past one another, the resulting home creates a series of indoor and outdoor rooms with each zone open to f ramed views in multiple directions.
FACING PAGE: We took cues f rom both the natural surroundings and the somewhat disparate preferences of the owners. Wood became a critical element in developing
not only a materials palette but the structure as well, establishing a rhythm and patterned module for the home. The use of exposed Douglas fir rafters, purlins, cabinetry,
and flooring combined with Southern yellow pine decking, trim, doors, and windows, balanced clean, contemporary lines with traditional references in a mixture that we
intended to be expressive, authentic, indigenous, and warm.
