More Adams Street photos









Adams street is almost done!


Stacie,

Thank YOU so much.  We have really loved working with you.  We greatly appreciate all of your hard work, moral support, and marital counseling.  Not only did you give us the home of our dreams—I don’t think we could have survived this process without you.      

You are of course welcome to come over anytime for photo shoots or anything else you might want to do, but really I hope you’ll just stop by for cocktails on a regular basis, assuming you can still stand the sight of us and the sound of our continual banter.  You’ll be at the top of the invite list when we have our grand opening party.  Whenever that may be. 

Thanks again!!

Our clients wanted a new two-car garage with finished space above for an office or future guest suite. We created a carriage house that looks like a garage from the street and a one story carriage house from their back yard.

Preservation Briefs for historic properties



If you are not familiar with the Preservation Brief series, check out the National Park Service's website:

http://www.nps.gov/history/tps/how-to-preserve/briefs.htm

They have some great information for historic property owners. Brief #3 focuses on improving energy efficiency in historic buildings.

Before and After. We added open-cell foam insulation to reduce air infiltration and create a tight building envelope.

What a busy summer!


In May, re:FORM won it's eighth City of Decatur Design Award for the renovation of 120 Adams Street in the McDonough-Adams-King's Highway Historic District (M.A.K.).


BEFORE

AFTER


The project involved a complete renovation of the historic home and the addition of a second story.

You will soon see our signs in the yards of a number homes in the Virginia Highlands, Mid-town, Kirkwood & Lenox Park neighborhoods and again in the M.AK. Historic District.

We are honored to have been chosen to design a significant addition to a ca. 1910 home originally designed by Leila Ross Wilburn, the second female architect in the state of Georgia.

To learn more about the M.A.K. Historic District or Leila Ross Wilburn visit http://www.mak-decatur.org/
