Our residential division (Green Friendly Homes) has a lot approved for potential LEED® Certification

Lot 1 in old Norcross has been approved for potential LEED® Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)! LEED® for Homes is a certification system that promotes the design and construction of high performance green homes. A green home uses less energy and water and fewer natural resources; creates less waste; and is healthier and more comfortable for the occupants. Check out the elevation for “The Tranquil Oak” and call us at 678-745-4266 to talk about how we can build your new home as green LEED® certified.

Recently completed restaurant renovation

Rhodes Design Group has recently completed a renovation for The Diner at Sugar Hill. The owners bought an old Folks restaurant and came to us for the build-out. Completed in the same style as the previous diners, the refurbishment included the interior as well as exterior re-designs. What a difference!

Peggy Slappey Properties space is ready!

It’s all done! The finishing touches have been put on the Peggy Slappey Properties space and it is ready for occupancy. Definitely a job we are proud of!

One of the best parts of this job was making most of it green friendly! Our interior designer chose low VOC paints (Natura by Benjamin Moore) and we've used renewable resources throughout such as: bamboo for custom built furniture, silestone for the coffee bar counter and front desk, and 100% recycled chairs by Hermann Miller. We've also added energy efficient touches like Caroma dual flush toilets, touchless faucets and, of course, Energy Star appliances.

Peggy Slappey Properties sign for the brick wall has been installed

We designed this sign for the interior brick wall behind the receptionist’s desk at the new office for Peggy Slappey Properties. Our friends at Atlanta Unlimited Signs installed it this past Friday...we think it looks really cool!!

More furniture is being installed in the space today...we’ll have more photos of the interior posted soon!

More plyboo furniture being installed

The new Peggy Slappy Properties office is not quite finished yet but we installed some new furniture and carpeting. This is a “lazy s” desk we designed specifically for this space. We’ll be installing a “wavy” divider down the center of the desk so that agents can sit on both sides. Again, we’ve used the plyboo on this project. It looks GREAT! The office should be open in 2-3 weeks...

PSP sign at night!!

Finally getting a photo posted of the sign at The Veranda at night (thanks to Tommy for sending our way)! It looks great!!!!

Peggy Slappey Properties office opening just a few weeks away!

The Peggy Slappey Properties office build-out is coming along as planned. We're almost done painting...lighting is going in....countertops and appliances for the coffee bar are going in today. Carpet should be going in next week. Overall, we are very pleased! One exciting aspect of this office is the fact that we have custom-designed and custom-fabricated the furniture from Plyboo – the coffee bar, receptionist desk...even Peggy's desk. Plyboo is FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council) made from 100% rapidly renewable bamboo. Best of all, there is no added formaldehyde to the panels...it all makes for a healthier office! We'll post more photos later this week once the lights and the countertops have been installed. We have a few more photos posted on the blog at www.greenfriendlyhomes.com.
