Luxe Home: The Greenland Road Residence

The Greenland Road Residence, designed by Studio One Architecture, is nestled in the woods of Atlanta, GA. According to the architects, “the house is sited on the high side of the undulating property, sliced through a narrow gauge between existing setbacks, easements, and buffers. Conceived as a home for three generations, the design translated the program into an open plan of discrete zones of both public and private spaces“. To get the full view of the scenery the home has been equipped with several terraces and large windows.

The home is “oriented along a topographic east-west axis, the home incorporates multiple low-tech features such as an underground rainwater collector as well as daylighting through the careful placement of deep overhangs above glazing to protect against heat gain in summer while allowing full sun to penetrate in winter“. Not only is the home eco-friendly but it also boasts many modern amenities, such as geothermal heating and cooling, argon gas-insulated glazing and recycled content.
