The project’s starting point was to understand the building’s original post and beam structure and to use that internal logic to formulate a sympathetic remodel. With an emphasis on the upper back unit, the owner’s private residence within this recently purchased Edward Killingsworth triplex, the first order of business was to strip the excess out and to return the complex to something that resembled the original. With a limited budget, the tact was to restore where possible, and to insert where needed, but always with a sympathetic eye. The kitchen quickly became the primary focus and it was soon realized that by removing the division between the existing galley and family room that the essence of the structural system could be revealed. Once opened the datum of the layered beams was adhered to with the kitchen reinforcing this overhead water line. The primary internal wall was then highlighted with a new wood veneer with the refrigerator recessed (borrowing a bit of space from the master closet) and the existing heater chromed.

When an Atlanta artist needed a space that could evolve with his creative practice, Earth Sky Builders delivered a flexible, functional addition tailored for large-scale, multimedia artmaking. Sure, some people just need a quiet corner with a desk and a laptop—but others need room for power tools, sculpture molds, and a sound system. This one-of-a-kind home office-slash-art studio proves that home offices aren’t one-size-fits-all.

This bright contemporary bathroom remodel combines mod floor-to-ceiling stacked 4x4s with a blue irregular penny tile floor, a frameless glass shower door, heated towel warmer, wall-mounted sink, hanging picture rail, and a custom recessed niche with a fog-less mirror. To tie everything together, we used blue epoxy grout throughout the bathroom, which was color-matched to the tile floor, creating a subtle, cohesive finish. A clean, modern design with thoughtful details that maximize both style and function. Photos by Nova Soul Imagery
