Atlanta Great Area for Mixed Architecture

By:

Despite the housing recession of 2008, custom homes and architecture are doing well in the Atlanta area. Home buyers are now have the upper hand to demand more for less. Many track homes are taking a hit in sales and the market has become saturated with too many "simple" houses. Track home builders are having to upgrade these simple homes to get their customers inside with curb appeal. Architectural accents such as window boxes, brackets, and other decorative millworks have done better than expected despite the decline in other areas of the industry.

2006 was a year of tremendous housing growth and development in Forsyth county and helped that county to be one of the fastest growing in the nation. Builders were flocking in and trying to get in on the action. Several custom home builders emerged to separate themselves from mainstream track home builders. Because of this the architectural style in the north Atlanta area has undergone a great transformation in style which has seen a fusion of many differet architectural genres. This new "fusion architecture" has been a hit and many custom homes have continued to sell strong during the recession due to their ability to outshine track homes in a buyers market. This has caused many of the track home builders to rethink their strategy to consider adding some window boxes or other architectural accents. Many of them are now offering upgrades to the homes to try to be competitive.

Classic country-style homes, cedar shingles, and a mix of mission-style architecture are some of the highlights. Most custom homes offer a combination of rock, brick, siding, and cedar shingle fusion into the home that creates a distinct look of character and variety. Now, you can rarely find a boring custom home in Atlanta that offers simple repeated features all over the front. Because most custom homes in Atlanta are built on hills they are 2-story and this has given architects the freedom to expand into unique elevations that are not typical outside of the state. The new combination of custom homes and architectural styles has helped with the growth in the north Atlanta area and has helped combat the housing recession. "I believe that Atlanta is setting a trend in architecture for rest of America to follow. Atlanta is on the cutting edge right now and a great place to move and find custom homes," says Matt Buquoi, contractor and business partner with many builders in the area. "Custom homes in the north Atlanta area have revived architecture by brining in new elements and styles to make a new fusion of different architectural genres."."
