Where we work
Nine towns across North Fulton, Forsyth, east Cobb and north DeKalb. This is the whole list, and it is short on purpose.
A firm claiming forty towns is claiming a drive it will not make for a callback at month seven. Every town below is somewhere a project manager can be by lunchtime.
Alpharetta
Fulton County · our studio
Our studio is here, which changes the work in one concrete way: a Discovery visit in Alpharetta gets scheduled around your day rather than around a drive. It also means we have been through this city's permit counter more times than any other, and we know what it wants before we file.
Milton
Fulton County · 3.5 miles, about 7 minutes with no traffic
Three and a half miles from the studio and about seven minutes up GA-9 with no traffic in the way. Milton is the nearest town on our list and the one where the site conditions change our drawings the most — septic, tree canopy, and an overlay structure that reaches further into a remodel than people expect.
Roswell
Fulton County · 5.9 miles, about 11 minutes with no traffic
About six miles and eleven free-flow minutes from the studio. Roswell is the town on our list where the calendar, not the drawing, is most often the thing that decides a schedule — because a six-hundred-and-forty-acre local historic overlay sits over the oldest part of the city and it has a procedure attached.
Johns Creek
Fulton County · 8 miles, about 14 minutes with no traffic
Eight miles east of the studio, about fourteen minutes with nothing in the way. Johns Creek is the most single-decade town on our list by a wide margin, and that produces the most predictable renovation brief we see anywhere.
Dunwoody
DeKalb County · 10.8 miles, about 17 minutes with no traffic
About eleven miles down GA-400 and seventeen free-flow minutes from the studio. Dunwoody is the oldest housing stock we work in by a clear margin, and it is the only town on our list where the pre-1978 lead conversation is a routine part of the first meeting rather than an occasional one.
East Cobb
Cobb County (unincorporated) · 12.5 miles, about 24 minutes with no traffic
Twelve and a half miles west, and about twenty-four free-flow minutes — longer than the mileage suggests, for a reason worth explaining. This is the only place on our list with no city government at all, and that single fact governs more about a project here than anything in the design.
Sandy Springs
Fulton County · 13.8 miles, about 21 minutes with no traffic
Fourteen miles down GA-400, about twenty-one free-flow minutes. This is the furthest south we work and the most mixed of our nine towns — in housing era, in ownership, and in what a renovation here is usually trying to solve.
Cumming
Forsyth County · 15.6 miles, about 22 minutes with no traffic
Sixteen miles up GA-400 and about twenty-two free-flow minutes. A Cumming page is really a Forsyth County page, and saying so out loud is more useful than pretending otherwise — because for the overwhelming majority of addresses here, the county rather than the city is the jurisdiction that matters.
Marietta
Cobb County · 19.2 miles, about 35 minutes with no traffic
Nineteen miles and thirty-five free-flow minutes — our furthest town by time, and further in practice than the mileage reads. Marietta has the oldest housing stock of the Cobb cities and the most commonly misunderstood historic-review situation of anywhere we work.
Distances are road miles from the studio and times are free-flow figures with no traffic model in them — a floor, not an average. GA-400 at five o'clock is a different road.
9 towns. Georgia deletes the administrative chapter of the residential code without substitution, so there is no state permit requirement for anything — permitting is entirely a local question, and the answer genuinely differs across this list. Each page says who issues the permit for that address.
