Alair Marietta’s Dedication To Excellence is Reflected in their Award-winning Projects

Alair Marietta: First Place, Residential Addition $100,000 – $250,000

A Marietta homeowner desired a re-designed kitchen to serve as an open and inviting space with plenty of storage and where the family could gather throughout the day. Alair Marietta enlarged the existing space to create a natural traffic flow with new flooring, lighting, countertops, and an expanded kitchen island. Custom cabinetry and storage spaces were designed to hide small appliances, while island storage and a walk-in pantry eliminate clutter. A favorite new feature is the dedicated beverage wall. Thanks to the first-floor kitchen expansion, Alair Marietta was able to enlarge the second-floor primary bedroom above and prepped plumbing and electrical systems to allow for a future renovation of the upstairs primary bathroom.

Alair Decatur: First Place, Residential Detached Structure

This award honors a lovely and highly functional combination pool house, garage, and multi-purpose room designed and built for homeowners in Atlanta’s Morningside neighborhood. Because of lot-size restraints, the structure features a split-level design where the kitchenette and full bath flow seamlessly to the porch and pool, and the multipurpose room is situated upstairs. A generous two-car garage on the main level provides protection and storage. Outside, beautiful woodwork, copper gutters, mitered corners, and exquisite stone make a strong statement, while inside, an exceptional wall of custom millwork provides storage, bed space, lounging, and charm.
