Renovations to the Alhambra Apartments on Peachtree Street was both creative and necessary since the building represented one of the few remaining buildings in the Buckhead area that define the varied architectural character of the community. The original building was a 3-story apartment building that was converted into five stories and an expansion of floor area that doubled the original building size. All this was done while keeping the character and building codes in check. The original lower floor was expanded into the basement to create a lower level townhouse. The same was done to the upper level while the middle level was retained and simply modified to the individual area requirements identified by the owners. These modifications allowed the interior corridors to be retained with an elevator and sprinkler system -- subtle evidence of modern technology.
