Five Atlanta Architects Build Their Own Homes

Five Atlanta residential architects will live their in own designs and I want to know everything. <br /><br />I'm sorry to tease.  I know the who, the what, and except for one the where. But it's personal. And each architect can leverage the house, the design, and the story, perhaps get published. And publishers want exclusives.<br /><br />I'll show you the before's: One occupied, one just started, one nearly done, one about 1/4 done, one a mystery. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBj975e7Y4VKJu5Z5d3lbKVvofkO5jE10PyVUsfzt_7n25uS_4nWndG5r_OhSmQfIzoUq6rSvDMABgjridlZLOjg737RZcDeO-qt_ykI-AV4HmacauYfwJyNnkuw3Xzl1JjfomZW6AwUsx/s1600/IMG_3030-2013-08-05-184-Pearl-Street-at-Harold-Avenue-Church-teardown-in-Reynoldstown-across-street-from-Cabbagetown.jpg"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBj975e7Y4VKJu5Z5d3lbKVvofkO5jE10PyVUsfzt_7n25uS_4nWndG5r_OhSmQfIzoUq6rSvDMABgjridlZLOjg737RZcDeO-qt_ykI-AV4HmacauYfwJyNnkuw3Xzl1JjfomZW6AwUsx/s1600/IMG_3030-2013-08-05-184-Pearl-Street-at-Harold-Avenue-Church-teardown-in-Reynoldstown-across-street-from-Cabbagetown.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />Torn down. It's on a 1911 Sanborn® Fire Insurance Map but it hasn't had a future for a long time. I've toured the new one. It's a not so big modern that I really like.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkX6OT9kf2iTPfF3G2WSnBcZ85MrRy3QVokIimrsEW1kRfohriH4-EjAU6_y25B3iYnDXgRSPWiRYWgAat5Glj_RzNy6uy-r4J6lpt6uUSkYttcwXeaHKC42nfLAHMqnh7Rm5H0O8CrgSQ/s1600/2014-06-29_teardown.jpg"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkX6OT9kf2iTPfF3G2WSnBcZ85MrRy3QVokIimrsEW1kRfohriH4-EjAU6_y25B3iYnDXgRSPWiRYWgAat5Glj_RzNy6uy-r4J6lpt6uUSkYttcwXeaHKC42nfLAHMqnh7Rm5H0O8CrgSQ/s1600/2014-06-29_teardown.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />I toured this one. It's clever, a 1,175 square footer build from a kit in 1971. It's been stripped of salvageable material awaiting the wrecker. The new one will be a "not so big" modernist but the architect is coy about the specifics.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSn-s_gGgNFrkCXUTYew97q9NKRaIY5z3w3oqG36mrOT2YDQk1E3ccVtwpKHF88giav-xeLOl6_A24poFylBlJt6yq0-MjlF30Ivv38PCuezTPei7PLCfVIEiQucnTOKnOMoaLT5EnKCKO/s1600/2014-06-29-renovation+before.jpg"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSn-s_gGgNFrkCXUTYew97q9NKRaIY5z3w3oqG36mrOT2YDQk1E3ccVtwpKHF88giav-xeLOl6_A24poFylBlJt6yq0-MjlF30Ivv38PCuezTPei7PLCfVIEiQucnTOKnOMoaLT5EnKCKO/s1600/2014-06-29-renovation+before.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />The big renovation is underway. The is before, built 1925 about 1,700 square feet. It's the most interesting challenge. It had been ruined by home-brewed renovations but its craziness amused me. I'll bet they hollowed it out inside. It will keep this basic shape. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3VbQrAtzbfO9GBj-EzxjvCLZNEOcsHRed73r1fxBH1_Uo1xw20D7SQxLI-c13pu2ffVNj436HNn6eNg4LqQhr_33M_Mo71WgWrmNSHt9kUQuT0CsOKZY-3t319rdHCKNGx34WiIc9nxGD/s1600/IMG_1898-2013-07-09--renovation.jpg"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3VbQrAtzbfO9GBj-EzxjvCLZNEOcsHRed73r1fxBH1_Uo1xw20D7SQxLI-c13pu2ffVNj436HNn6eNg4LqQhr_33M_Mo71WgWrmNSHt9kUQuT0CsOKZY-3t319rdHCKNGx34WiIc9nxGD/s1600/IMG_1898-2013-07-09--renovation.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />It's nearly done and it still looks like this from the front. I've had a tour. Inside it's spacious and special, bigger than a not so big house but you can't tell from here. Built in 1940.<br /><br /><b>The mystery house?</b> The folks who know are keeping it secret. I presume they are going whole hog PR / marketing on it. I've heard one detail but they could be teasing me.

Sabine Woman by Dorothy Berge is BACK and I'm GLAD

<br />I think this is the perhaps the best / best sighted sculpture in town. They'd hid her in the bushes for close to 20 years. I am unexpectedly emotional about it.<br /><br />I ran into <a href="http://www.gregorturk.com/">Gregor Turk</a> last weekend. He told me they were "moving the Burge," said they spent three days just figuring how to take her apart. I needed to get over there.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxn58uIGLVfU9bOLF-e5Nop45KujF4ICZ7bW7Jqs9431JssOuu7_241rR5BgaPVzBeXjobIEUANIqq4aAiHUmKqiLnQ4WmpstWTGcPFTxElpSIyHf_XmSmv2JWTNzKKeZly42QkY0DS5A6/s1600/P1170555-2013-03-05-Midtown-Public-Art-Tour-by-Gregor-Turk-Phoenix-Flies-Sabine-Women-by-Dorothy-Alphena-Berge.jpg"><img border="0" height="630" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxn58uIGLVfU9bOLF-e5Nop45KujF4ICZ7bW7Jqs9431JssOuu7_241rR5BgaPVzBeXjobIEUANIqq4aAiHUmKqiLnQ4WmpstWTGcPFTxElpSIyHf_XmSmv2JWTNzKKeZly42QkY0DS5A6/s1600/P1170555-2013-03-05-Midtown-Public-Art-Tour-by-Gregor-Turk-Phoenix-Flies-Sabine-Women-by-Dorothy-Alphena-Berge.jpg" width="640" /> </a><br />This is "Sabine Woman" by Dorothy Alphena Berge (1923 - 2009), commissioned in 1968 to sit in front of 100 Colony Square at Peachtree and 14th Streets.

Field Guide to 18 Southeastern Arts Presenters - Thanks ACAC

There were: 18 Southeastern Arts Presenters at the <a href="http://thecontemporary.org/9-50-summit/">Atlanta Contemporary Art Center's "9/50 Summit: 2014"</a>. What's "9/50?"

Meet Mike Lydon, Learn Tactical Urbanism in Sweet Auburn on Thu, June 19 at 4:15PM

Free Snacks tomorrow at Noni's. See you there?<br /><br />"New Urbanism" rhetoric is a whispering game. I don't understand how "We're trying to do a better job in designing places people like," turns into a grand unified theory for solving all our social ills. I don't understand why trying emulate things that have worked turns into political religion with a strident rhetoric of smugness, condensation, and busybodyness. I don't understand why even the practitioners and city lovers at times have chips on their shoulders.<br /><br />So... <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6cFP7D3mW63e_Jn5NRuRua53KB3GL875JyvmSmEAGj0upuNjCLbZyWpX4lN2Jl0AhOR0i883OkCPMskky2ZS87N6IKBACDTX19VbXVCrVhJ5CVMNlzchydhYVJdj2f55YYzVP0zN8AnP0/s1600/P1110279-2012-08-18-Plaza-Theater-Living-Walls-Lectures-Tactical-Urbanism-by-Mike-Lydon.jpg"><img border="0" height="530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6cFP7D3mW63e_Jn5NRuRua53KB3GL875JyvmSmEAGj0upuNjCLbZyWpX4lN2Jl0AhOR0i883OkCPMskky2ZS87N6IKBACDTX19VbXVCrVhJ5CVMNlzchydhYVJdj2f55YYzVP0zN8AnP0/s1600/P1110279-2012-08-18-Plaza-Theater-Living-Walls-Lectures-Tactical-Urbanism-by-Mike-Lydon.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />The best solution to the whispering game is to seek the original sources like <a href="http://www.streetplans.org/leadership_mike_lydon.php">Mike Lydon</a>, a planner, an author and one the most eloquent and straightforward spokespersons on street design.

Quick Takes: 11 Moderns on Modern Atlanta's 2014 Tour

I barely slept on Friday night. I finally got up too early, un-rested but energized. It's easy to see traditionals and I love them but the <a href="http://www.modern-atlanta.org/">Modern Atlanta Tour</a> comes just once a year. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrecxZbpVrGQVcoiSVKhEry_LRq3YzW6R-3535Jicl3M4aw1eaIENSCYpL_1MWJvfpeXG0EeX7KTKkgOzfAiDk6SdYcMH4WS44sXzlDFq85xHn9EksCNpF_FarhdzFkWP5_ZKpFw5mZ_lJ/s1600/IMG_6678.JPG"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrecxZbpVrGQVcoiSVKhEry_LRq3YzW6R-3535Jicl3M4aw1eaIENSCYpL_1MWJvfpeXG0EeX7KTKkgOzfAiDk6SdYcMH4WS44sXzlDFq85xHn9EksCNpF_FarhdzFkWP5_ZKpFw5mZ_lJ/s1600/IMG_6678.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br />I had to be on Oakview at 9:45. I found my MA docent badge and my wrist bands. I wrote down the names of my fellow docents and hydrated. I put on my fresh shorts and my new seersucker shirt and headed out.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14201705697" title="2014-06-07-TK-Modern-Atlanta-docent by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="2014-06-07-TK-Modern-Atlanta-docent" height="360" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3880/14201705697_698cfc1d2a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><a href="http://dencity.us/about/">Staffan Svenson</a> met me at the door, gave me the tour and "I fell into a (modernist) dream."<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14184406779" title="IMG_6687 by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6687" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3878/14184406779_e2d844598f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />I abandoned documenting the houses and just took the tour dammit.<br /><br /><a href="http://dencity.us/">Oakview</a><br />I chose to be docent here because it seemed the edgiest. In less than a minute I found the place where I most wanted to be: Sitting at the back porch dining table with my back to the wall in the chair closest to the kitchen. THAT is a nice spot. The image that stays with me: Three bird pictures in elaborate period frames on a chartreuse wall, un-modern in the modern. A library on the mezzanine. They could open the whole back and the whole front into screened porches. The place seemed infinite yet cozy. How do they do that?<br /><br /><a href="http://bldgs.org/">Corley</a><br />I'd seen it before, was it four years ago? I fell in love on the uncanny screened porch. Do I still love it? Yes, the porch still charms me as does the house. It seems small but it just keeps going and going in a series of switchbacks. Cutaways reveal zen views and light everywhere you look. I can't keep the plan in my head but I was delighted not confused. <a href="http://www.225corley.com/">It's for sale</a>.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14370125964" title="IMG_6682 by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6682" height="640" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2909/14370125964_0419ac5424_z.jpg" width="480" /></a><br />I'm a fan of nearly outdoor showers.<br /><br /><a href="http://darbystudio.com/">The Pearl Street 3</a><br />I've been following these, three houses in a row by the same architect. I've only seen them from the street. When I set foot on the properties I found a sculpture garden. The three worked together. All three have the same ingredients mixed differently. Windows and porches placed and aimed to maximize light and privacy. Light took first place, privacy took a close second. Most memorable: All three were filled with people, the most flattering things you can put in a house.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14370127384" title="IMG_6686 by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6686" height="480" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2930/14370127384_eb42df20a7_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />So straightforward, so flexible. Aren't these dining chairs wonderful.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14370131164" title="IMG_6695 by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6695" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3840/14370131164_d124dbf776_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br />Sculpture garden with more people than an actual sculpture garden.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.xmetrical.tv/">Sanders</a><br />The first two stories have everything. Up one more flight and you find the VIEW. The office / studio is up there and opens to the rooftop deck and the VIEW under the canopy. Praise to the driveway and parking pad too, so informal so unfussy. I'd rather see a car than a garage door.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14184439458" title="IMG_6700 by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6700" height="480" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2911/14184439458_3ca767d730_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />There's shelter from sun and rain.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14184412419" title="IMG_6699 by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6699" height="480" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5493/14184412419_cd4a97e5ba_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />VIEW from the capital dome to midtown.  <br /><a href="http://www.tacstudios.com/"><br /></a><a href="http://www.tacstudios.com/">Custer</a><br />Oh glorious flatness, stair-free flatness, complete grandma-friendly flatness. Front entry flatness with a sheltering roof for unloading groceries and loved ones. I think it's small but it didn't seem small. The only rancher on the tour. Can you do ranchers anymore? It's not brand new. It had a lived-in patina.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14184484760" title="IMG_6707 by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6707" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3897/14184484760_fca55c69b8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />Wonderful flatness that wraps around the pool.<br /><br />Loraine<a href="http://dencity.us/">http://dencity.us/</a><br />From the outside it's gigantic. There was plenty of room inside but nowhere felt gigantic. The kitchen has a dropped ceiling, it's cozy and so unusual in our high-ceilinged culture. The neighboring houses are most interesting in this half gentrified neighborhood, eclectic for now.  AND there's this:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14388181065" title="IMG_6891 by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6891" height="480" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/14388181065_b9306b461f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />Period place in a modern: Bravo.<br /><a href="http://www.tacstudios.com/"><br /></a><a href="http://www.tacstudios.com/">Welbourne</a><br />Comprehensible to me in a glance, I knew where to go and where things were, nothing tricky, nothing screamed clever. I made sure to be its docent so I had time to take it in. It's big, twice a big as my house. The backyard seems to be inside the house. But I felt the space rather than the BIG. I felt breathing room, light and wonderful family chaos. I want to live in the "office."  I bonded with the limestone. I hope they didn't mind that I kept ringing the doorbell.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.portmanusa.com/">ADAC</a><br />It's a familiar place. It's like someone scrubbed, polished, and waxed right before I got there. It's a showroom that shouts "inside." It would be claustrophobic but for the sky-lit atrium. <br /><br /><a href="http://lightroom.tv/">Lightroom</a><br />It's the iceberg with windows on McDonough. What I love is the totally flexible grand spaces without luxury finishes. Does everything have to be $300 square feet? No.<br /><br /><a href="http://matthewquinncollection.com/">12th Street</a><br />Didn't make it. Je regret. Next year I hope.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/terrykearns/14370129894" title="IMG_6693 by Terry Kearns, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_6693" height="480" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2930/14370129894_b27f665473_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />Backyard? Roof? Backyard Room?<br /><br />Four words for modernist landscaping today: ornamental grass, slate chips.
