Challenging Can be Charming

Objective & Impact:

Located within Atlanta’s highly regulated Grant Park Historic District, this project presented a rare opportunity to unite preservation rigor with forward-looking building performance.

The result is a carefully calibrated residence that feels rooted in place, environmentally responsible, and distinctly modern.

• Historic Guidelines Navigated to achieve full district approval while maintaining architectural integrity.
• Stepped Massing Strategy Implemented to follow the slope and preserve the site’s natural rhythm.
• Mature Trees Protected to maintain ecological continuity and neighborhood character.
• Sustainable Systems Integrated to support efficiency, resilience, and occupant comfort.
• Contextual Infill Achieved with a design that complements surrounding homes without imitation.
• Public Recognition Earned through feature coverage on PBS’s Home Diagnostics “Form vs. Function: Aesthetics vs. Performance.”
• Client Relationships Extended as the producers later commissioned LG Squared to design their own residence.
