Improvements to the I-285/Ga. 400 interchange have been called “the No. 1 priority for Perimeter CIDs.” A sales tax, which would have raised $450 million for the interchange, was soundly defeated by metro Atlanta voters in 2012. Now Perimeter business owners have agreed to bring $10.5 million to the table to jump start the improvement plans.
Located near Phipps Plaza, the Bongers residence was built on what was once thought to be an unbuildable lot because a winding stream bisected the property. The unique design of the home allows a portion of the front corner of the home to cantilever over the floodplain area and not to encroach into the stream itself.
The Sarvis residence in Buckhead, designed by Dencity, was constructed with local stone, cypress, European stucco and commercial glass. The T-shaped plan creates a private area in the back that contains an outdoor patio and pool. The Earthcraft-certified home also has a distinct roof form, which makes it appear to be lifting off the house.
