Designed by West Architecture Studio and built by Cablik Enterprises.
The LaFrance Residence is a custom modern home constructed as an infill project in Atlanta’s Edgewood neighborhood. The home was designed and constructed to meet EarthCraft certification standards by using energy efficient equipment, appliances, air sealing, and insulating techniques.
This modern residence features 6 different siding materials to include stucco, Hardi products, natural stone veneer, IPE, a commercial grade fiber cement panel, and engineered bamboo. At selected locations, exterior wall materials continue into the heated space of the house to emphasize architectural massing. Despite the open floor plan and deep cantilevers found on the house, no structural steel was required. All framing was completed with locally available natural and engineered framing products.
Key features of the house include a large covered out door patio that is separated from the Living Room by an eleven foot by fourteen foot three-panel sliding door. This dramatic opening bridges outdoor and indoor entertainment. Two roof top decks are designed to offer private out door living with carefully planned views of the neighborhood. The master suite can access both deck spaces and includes an out door shower. A generous walk in closet, custom built-ins, soaking tub with fire place, shower, TV, and floating master vanity can also be found in the master suite.
The landscape plan around the house includes custom concrete planters, rock gardens, ponds, and custom privacy fencing. The LaFrance Residence is a firm statement in the growing modern community in Atlanta, and an anchor to the revitalization of the Edgewood neighborhood.
