2013 PHILIP TRAMMELL SHUTZE AWARDS

We had the honor of attending ICAA's Southeastern Chapter Philip Trammell Shutze Awards dinner on Saturday night at the Piedmont Driving Club. If you are not familiar with Shutze's work, he was an Atlantan who became one of America's most renowned classical architects and designed some of Atlanta' most stunning homes. This is always an inspiring event, recognizing the most successful classical projects completed today. We were excited to be part of the evening and able to celebrate these very talented architects and designers. Here are a few highlights from the night -

 D. Stanley Dixon Architects - Residential under 4,000 square feet

Very gracious Stan Dixon accepting his award 

Bill Baker - Residential over 10,000 square feet 

Stan Benecki accepting the award on behalf of Bill Baker 

and the team who brought this project to fruition 

John Howard - Landscape/Garden Design

This project was particularly exciting because the home is an original Shutze home. 

John Howard went into the History Center's archives to research Shutze's original drawings and intentions for the gardens. 

So fantastic.

WALLPAPER

We apologize for our extreme absence lately, but we have been swamped with our current projects. One in particular, where our client has the most elegant style. At the moment we are trying to finalize the finish for her formal powder bathroom walls. Even though the space is small, the ceilings are 12 feet and we would love to make a huge impact with a landscape or floral.
So we have been pulling images of some Gracie and de Gournay installations to get us moving in some sort of direction. Don't these wallpapers brighten your day -
