On my drive to a client's house on the westside of Atlanta, I take E. Rock Springs Road, a direct E/W thoroughfare that eventually becomes Rock Springs Road, where I then pick up the I-85 access to I-75 North to Moores Mill.
Along the stretch of Rock Springs you border a couple of different neighborhoods -- Morningside, Ansley Park, and Piedmont Heights.... The road is wide and the original bungalow homes were built on larger lots. Cut to today's living needs, and these houses have become ripe for redevelopment..... And I noticed recently a couple of side by side lots had been cleared of their original structures and a sign posted on the property announcing the upcoming build of Rock Springs Manor, offering 7 custom homes.
The good news is that homes in Rock Springs Manor are designed by local Atlanta architecture firm, Pak Heydt. Yong Pak and his partner Charles Heydt are responsible for some really great homes found throughout the area. The firm designs both new homes and the renovation of original structures, and I appreciate their work because they don't just necessarily build BIG houses -- they strive for attention to detail and recognize the value of craftsmanship.... photos of Pak Heydt's work below....
