This fine old Georgian home had become outdated, with compartmentalized rooms and very little natural light.

We wanted to retain and enhance the formal Georgian quality of the home while also creating more interconnected and livable spaces.

We love the quiet, sheltered entry court of this Crestline area project, completed a few years ago. The beautifully crafted timbering work provides storybook-style charm and rustic detail.

We were part of a citizen group that was tasked by the City of Irondale with developing ideas for the new Grants Mill Road roundabout. Our involvement in the exercise was pro bono, and we’re not sure what the City is actually intending to build.

This design features a large Cahaba Lily steel sculpture, to promote Irondale’s reputation as an outdoor recreation area with lots of river access. The naturalistic landscaping further reinforces that idea. Most importantly, we wanted to create something beautiful to help attract and guide positive growth in a quickly developing area.

The group collaborated with Charles Sowell Landscape Architects and NEEZO Studios for the rendering.

The Den of this old house was quite large, and featured an unusually tall 12’ ceiling. But it was very dark and plain, and lacked the detail that such a large room requires.

A rustic timber frame established order and a better scale, while adding the warmth and texture of old wood. It also became the structure for an all-glass exterior wall.
