In an economy flat-lined by a slumping real estate market, it is refreshing to look at modern architecture in Atlanta. Atlanta has been hit hard by the recession, but judging by the number of contemporary homes in the Atlanta area, when the recession ends, the capital of Georgia will once again be the crown jewel of the southeast.

Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects designed the Bailey House Studio in 2003.

About the Baily House Studio:

Building area:  2,200 square feet (house), 2,000 square feet (studio)

The program calls for a new house and studio of two thousand square feet each.

The site is a seven and one half acre hillside in southwest Atlanta. It is heavily wooded, except for a single 50í wide clearing dividing the lot into two halves. There are also several remnants from the Civil War, most notably an overgrown roadbed that led to Willis Mill. The new buildings are situated between these parallel linear cuts.
