Virginia Highlands & Morningside
When one talks of Atlanta being a city of neighborhoods, Virginia-Highalnds is invariably mentioned as the model for a district that excels in holding live, work and play in equal measure. Charming homes are in abundance, and our participation in holding to those high architectural standards has been consistent. The following are some of our favorite projects of this and adjoining Morningside neighborhood.
Lanier Enclave

 |
This three custom home infill development project in Virginia Highlands came to Jones Pierce because of our expertise in City of Atlanta zoning and our experience with Prairie Design. Two of the three homes sit back off the street down a private drive along a creek and the front home fits into the existing framework of Lanier Boulevard. Tight lot restrictions and a 75 foot stream buffer shaped the design of the homes but still allow for 4000-5000 square feet of interior space.
Rosedale Road Residence

A1940’s cottage house expanded discretely and revitalized into a neighborhood asset. The original 1-story at 1,700 square feet was increased to a 1.5-story, 2,400 square feet after renovation
1008 Rosewood Drive
 |
 |
A long-neglected bungalow with excellent masonry detailing is significantly expanded by new owners and re-themed as Tudor. Original 1-story at 1,478square feet. Remodeled 2-story built on existing footprint at 3,472 square feet
1678 Lenox Road
 |
A one-story brick ranch is transformed using the existing brick cladding into a whimsical Tudor manor house. The existing footprint was reused to the extent of incorporating an existing dining room brick-lined bay window into a new two story semi-hexagonal oriel.
Cumberland Road Residence
 |
 |
Poorly planned additions were removed and a second level added over the existing original footprint to create an entirely new aesthetic. 1,743 square foot 1-story expanded to 2,830 two-story. The new modern aesthetic the client preferred was kept to the rear of the house while refurbishing the front only to preserve the home’s bungalow appearance from the street. Photos were taken towards the end of construction.
