Peachtree Hills Place Named Finalist for NAHB’s Best of 50+ Housing Awards

2008-04-29T18:59:15Z

More great news coming from Peachtree Hills Place.

Peachtree Hills Place Named Finalist for NAHB’s Best of 50+ Housing Awards

ATLANTA – The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) recently named the clubhouse at Peachtree Hills Place as a finalist in the 2008 Best of 50+ Housing Awards competition. Peachtree Hills Place, a luxurious residential community for adults 55 and older, is one of three finalists in the ‘Active Adult Housing: Clubhouse Interior Design “On the Boards” Large’ category. The Best of 50+ Housing Awards recognizes excellence in design and marketing in the 50+ housing market. Finalists were chosen by a jury of 12 industry experts who spent two days evaluating close to 300 entries. Winners will be announced during NAHB's Boomers and Beyond Conference next month in New Orleans.

“It is quite an honor to be recognized for our work by experts in this industry from across the nation ,” said Bill Foley of Foley Design, clubhouse designer. “The finalists represent a group of the best in 50+ housing throughout the United States, and we are very proud to be a part of that group.”

The clubhouse at Peachtree Hills Place is designed in the English Arts and Crafts style to create a sense of permanence, familiarity and security and although new, the atmosphere is one of history and tradition. The clubhouse is comprised of two levels of community activities, services, and support functions, and three levels of residential apartments. The clubhouse includes elegant ballrooms, community meeting space, a chapel, spa, member conference room and billiard and poker rooms.

The clubhouse also houses the four primary dining rooms for the community. Two of the dining rooms feature vaulted ceilings and cast stone, while the other two feature beam-and-coffered ceilings, and intimate dining nooks that create a cozy atmosphere. All four dining rooms have been designed with beautiful stone fireplaces.

“For the clubhouse to be ranked among the best in the nation is very exciting for Peachtree Hills Place,” said E. Andrew (Andy) Isakson, founder of Isakson-Barnhart Properties, Inc., and Managing Partner of Isakson-Barnhart Co., LLC, developer of Peachtree Hills Place. “We are very appreciative to Foley Design for all of their hard work and dedication.”

When completed, Peachtree Hills Place, located in Buckhead in the heart of metro Atlanta, will include 274 independent residences – consisting of 266 villas and eight single-family homes – and 36 skilled nursing and memory care suites. Assisted living care will also be offered on site. All Peachtree Hills Place members will enjoy a full slate of amenities, on-site retail establishments, dining, full service spa, and fitness center.

Isakson Barnhart is Georgia’s developer of nationally recognized, award-winning residential communities for those age 55 and over. The company’s vision to provide amenity-rich, independent living for discerning adults was born out of the personal experiences of the family of Ed and Julia Isakson after their difficult search for a community that would provide an active lifestyle combined with on-site health care. This mission manifested itself in Park Springs, the company’s flagship property in Stone Mountain. Park Springs was nationally recognized by the 50+ Housing Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) as the recipient of the 2005 Platinum Award for best large CCRC as well as the Gold Award for interior design. Now, Isakson Barnhart introduces another award-winning residential community in Peachtree Hills Place, named the best “On the Boards” large CCRC by the same group in 2006. Isakson Barnhart has carefully selected Life Care Services, LLC, the leading management company of senior communities in the nation, to partner in the planning and management of Peachtree Hills Place and Park Springs.

Proposed Art for Peachtree Hills Park

2008-04-29T18:50:08Z

Jennifer Freeman is proposing to install one of her original pieces of art in the Peachtree Hills Park.

Below is her proposal

“Seasons”

A Mosaic Sculpture Proposed for Peachtree Hills Park

Jennifer Freeman

SCULPTURAL FORM

As a Neighborhood Gateway finalist, I am submitting a proposal for a mosaic sculpture to be displayed in Peachtree Hills Park in the grassy area in front of the gymnasium (toward the right side of the building). The piece would consist of two cantilevered philanges (sorry, I couldn’t figure out what else to call them), to be covered in total with mosaic images. (See Visual I).

The artwork would stand approximately nine feet high, and would be approximately five feet in diameter, with a cement base extending another eight inches. The substrate for the actual mosaic would consist of “cast in place concrete” to be fabricated by Timothy Minick of O.L.S.I. who has done work in this capacity before.

MOSAIC
Although the shape of the substrate is important and aesthetically pleasing, it is the mosaic which will ultimately define the work. After many meetings and conversations with members of the Peachtree Hills community, in addition to research of my own, I have sought to do two things with the design of my mosaic:

1) To chronicle the "history” of the Peachtree Hills area as it has changed over time from farmland to a “country
retreat for Atlantans”, to streetcar community, to Atlanta bedroom community. Although there certainly have been continuing changes in the area that is now serviced by the Lindbergh MARTA Station and flanked by significant new
development, the neighborhood is still defined by its Craftsman style bungalows, and a wonderful Mockette of three dimensional mosaic Mosaic “blow-up” of a segment of the actual proposed drawing sense of community and pride. In the proposed mosaic, Peachtree Hills’ history-- from its early days to the present-- is threaded through a concurrent theme of the changing of the seasons. (See Visuals below).

The second goal I am trying to achieve
with my design is to “keep it whimsical
and fun”. People I spoke with in the
community stressed that they don’t want
“corporate art”, but rather something in a
lighter vein. This I have tried to do, both
with color and composition, as well as
proposed materials. Materials will include
such varied tesserae as porcelain tiles,
stained glass, broken dishes, mirror, and
rocks. I have found that use of a wide
range of materials adds to the interest of
the mosaic, both in the making and the
viewing.

PROCESS
It is anticipated that the making of the
mosaic will be a collaborative project,
involving many members of the Peachtree
Hills community. The Covenant
Presbyterian Church has graciously
agreed to let us set up a work space in the
Church, which will make the project
accessible to all. I am willing to schedule
weekend and/or evening sessions (in
addition to weekdays) to accommodate
those who wish to work on the mosaic
who cannot make the daytime sessions. In
my experience, this kind of community
involvement significantly enhances the
“value” of the finished project. All those
involved take ownership and pride in the
work, and love to share the fruits of their
labor.

mosaic sculpture identifying specific
Peachtree Hills landmarks and seasonal
references

PEACHTREE HILLS INVOLVEMENT TO THIS POINT

I would like to mention that the community of Peachtree Hills has been very involved,
supportive and excited about this project. I have met with the president of the
neighborhood association, active members of the neighborhood involved with many
aspects of beautification of the park, people who have come (on a rainy, cold Sunday
afternoon) specifically to talk about this project, and people who have invited me into
their homes to share my thoughts and to get theirs. I have spoken by phone with
residents of the neighborhood who have spent their entire lives in Peachtree Hills. In
addition, I have “roamed the neighborhood” and its surrounds at length, to get a feel and
understanding of what is there. I would be delighted at the prospect of working with
members of this community to produce a lasting mosaic for their park.

Ridgedale Park Neighborhood

2008-02-11T14:53:15Z

Ridgedale Park is a premiere neighborhood in the heart of Buckhead. Centrally located along Kingsboro Road just east of Peachtree Road with easy access to I-85 and GA400. Only minutes away from the wonderful shops and restaurants of Lenox Mall and Phipp’s Plaza as well as downtown Atlanta. Homes in the Ridgedale Park neighborhood range in price from $400,000 up to well over $1,000,000.
According to Buckhead.net:
Developed beginning in the 1920s, the Ridgedale Park neighborhood is on the east side of Peachtree Road just north of Lenox Square/Phipps Plaza. Neighborhood signs mark the entries.
Its 110 homes are a charming blend of early 20th century vernacular architecture in a mature urban forest. Tudor revival, Georgian and English and French cottage styles mix comfortably. Although not on as grand a scale as neighboring Brookhaven, Ridgedale Park enjoys the same gracious layout. Homes are built on the area's original rolling topography, often with deeply set-back front yards.
Many homes have undergone or are undergoing renovation, underlining the neighborhood's stability. Walkers and joggers enjoy the gently curving streets. Although Ridgedale Park is within easy walking distance of Atlanta's two top shopping areas, Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, it has the atmosphere of a quiet, established enclave.
Ridgedale Park has easy access via Peachtree to both Midtown and Buckhead. It is conveniently close to shopping and restaurants along Peachtree Road, medical facilities around Piedmont Hospital and AMTRAK rail service at Brookwood Station.
Entertainment, from multiscreen movie complexes at Phipps Plaza, Tower Place and Lenox Square to the Atlanta History Center on West Paces Ferry Road, is easily accessible. By MARTA rail or by car, it's easy to reach Symphony Hall, the High Museum of Art, the Atlanta Ballet, the Fox Theatre and sports events of every description.
Buckhead parks are equally accessible: Garden Hills, just down Piedmont Road; Frankie Allen on Pharr Road; Peachtree Hills behind the Lindbergh MARTA station; and Chastain Park on Powers Ferry Road. Piedmont Park, a longtime Atlanta favorite, is 10 minutes away by car or 20 minutes by train/bus.
Public schools (see Buckhead Education.) include Sarah Smith Elementary, Sutton Middle School and North Atlanta High.

Ardmore Park Neighborhood

2008-02-11T14:08:35Z

Ardmore Park is a premiere neighborhood in the heart of Buckhead. Centrally located between Northside Drive and Peachtree Road along 26th Street, 28th Street and Collier Road with easy access to I-85 and I-75. Only minutes away from the wonderful shops and restaurants of Lenox Mall and Phipp’s Plaza as well as downtown Atlanta. Homes in the Ardmore Park neighborhood range in price from $300,000 to well over $1,000,000.
According to Buckhead.net:
The Collier Hills-Ardmore Park area of Buckhead is rich in Atlanta history as well as lush landscape. Some of the bitterest fighting of the Civil War's Battle of Atlanta took place in its gently rolling hills and hollows and along boulder-strewn Tanyard Creek.
The earliest history of the area is commemorated on a granite marker at the intersection of Peachtree Road and Palisades Road (just north of Collier Hills on the opposite side of Peachtree). This monument marks the spot where two major Creek Indian trails intersected, the Echota Trail and the Peachtree Trail.
Later, the area was the estate of Andrew Jackson Collier, whose name survives in the names of Collier Road and Anjaco Road (Andrew Jackson Collier).
The homestead of the Collier family, one of Atlanta's oldest, once stood near the southwest corner of Peachtree Road and Collier Road. Mr. Collier's grist mill (Collier's Mill) on Tanyard Creek, near where the creek runs under Collier Road, was an early landmark and later the scene of bloody Civil War fighting as Confederate forces desperately attacked the armies commanded by Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman that were closing in on Atlanta in July 1864. Bronze markers in Tanyard Creek Park and old mill stones and markers at the corner of Redland Drive and Collier Road recall this history.
Near Peachtree, along 26th Street, 28th Street and Collier Road in the Ardmore Park neighborhood, mellow brick apartment houses and duplexes mix with older home shaded by huge oaks and beeches.
The Ardmore-Anjaco area's winding streets are lined with brick/frame cottages, grander two-stories and a sprinkling of newer in-fill homes on modest-size, heavily wooded lots.
The actual Collier Hills neighborhood rises from Tanyard Creek and the railroad line to Northside Drive. Most of the homes here were built by developer Herbert W. Nicholes shortly after World War II. Almost all show signs of recent renovation and expansion.
The area enjoys three parks: Tanyard Creek at Collier Road and Walthall Drive, Ardmore on Ardmore Road off Collier Road, and Atlanta Memorial (which includes the Bobby Jones Golf Course and Bitsy Grant Tennis Center) off Golfview Drive.
The area has easy access via Peachtree to both Midtown and Buckhead. It is conveniently close to shopping and restaurants along Peachtree Road, medical facilities around Piedmont Hospital and AMTRAK rail service at Brookwood Station.
Public schools (see Buckhead Education.) include Morris Brandon Elementary, E. Rivers Elementary, Sutton Middle School and North Atlanta High.
