BJ and David, Virginia transplants to Atlanta via New York, instantly loved the large
brick Georgian they had found in a quiet Buckhead neighborhood. “The interior of the
house was tired and dated looking. It had also acquired at some point in its existence, a quaint Country French family room that did not meld well with the overall Georgian feeling of the house. It was a given that we would gut the master suite and all 4 ½ bathrooms but
having to deal with a major living area was creating a stumbling block to our buying the
house. Chris offered cost effective design solutions that made the project work without
our feeling overwhelmed.”


Susan and Jay, native Atlantans, had been looking for years in a particular close-in Sandy
Springs neighborhood when their real estate agent found an older Greek Revival style
house with a pool and lovely grounds. “ The one word that comes to mind when
describing the interior of this house is the “Jetsons”! It was immediately obvious that we
were embarking on an extensive whole house renovation. Our agent arranged our
meeting with Chris and he instinctively knew what to do with the stylishly incongruent
1960’s “modern” interior. He drew the plans which involved major structural
accommodations, sketched out design details and selected finishes and colors. Simply
said, "we love our home.”


Cathy and Frank, having been through the renovating process involved in flipping houses
numerous times, make a savy team who are more interested in results driven by the
bottom line. “Chris was on time and on budget. His subs and suppliers are top-notch professionals. Chris has a great eye for detail and is able to edit our ideas creating great value and at the same time saving us money.”


Kim and Scott were interested in renovating their North Buckhead ranch. “It became
quickly apparent that the basement would never serve the needs of a modern American
family. After discussing the situation with Chris, we made the decision to tear down the
existing structure and start anew. This was no easy or small decision on our part with
family considerations! Chris chose an excellent architect who provided a wonderful
set of plans that worked contextually with the other homes in the neighborhood. The finished product provided just the look we wanted, perhaps exceeding our expectations, considering our original plans for a renovation.”
