Pearl at Memorial Mixed Use
This was the initial conception of a mixed use community with live-work condominiums facing Pearl Street in Cabbagetown Landmark Historic District and bordering historic Reynoldstown in the older parts of Atlanta, Georgia. Our principal, Andy Jessup, began this project in 2004. Facing Memorial Drive at the pedestrian level, retail shops were proposed, with townhomes above opening onto a common. This design was subsequently altered to address market demand and community conditions.
Renovation of
an AAMCO/ATT Service Center:
As a part of the requirements for the re-development and beautification of the Lawrenceville Hwy (U.S. 29) Corridor Overlay District this former Goodyear Tire store was renovated. We upgraded it from and old split-faced-block and blue metal mansard building by applying new stucco cornices and dark bronze standing seam metal canopies. The existing aluminum storefront frames were then painted charcoal grey. Part of the building is now being used as an AAMCO Transmission center while the other side is being used as an ATT telephone store, thus bringing new life and vitality back to the City of Lilburn area.
The Avenues Apt.s Fire Restoration project
This Dekalb County Apartment community was originally built in the 1970's. In 2010 a small kitchen fire spread to the units above it and damaged eight of the sixteen apartments in this one building. Our task was to measure and draft as-built drawings of the apartments and the overall building. Then we worked with the fire marshal and the builder to detai what would be necessary to bring the building up to current code and obtain a new building permit.
