According to architect Daniel Betsill of Summerour Archtiects, modern style doesn't mean a house has to be the oddball in a traditional Atlanta neighborhood. "This home in Buckhead shows a house that no one would hesitate to call modern ... the distillation of these forms and the detailing of them creates the clean edges that clients with modern sensibilities seek, but when studied it shows all the basic elements of a traditional house form," he describes. "The presence of roof eaves, symmetry, regularity of window and door openings, and familiar materials lay a foundation of form that is recognizable and blends with neighboring homes."
