HDC’s most recent Highland project was featured on the cover of Modern Luxury’s Winter Publication and Atlanta Homes Tour. Here’s a sneak peek at the article:
When this growing family asked for a bigger, updated home, The Heuer Design Collective decided to “pop the top” of their charming historical home and give them the additional space they needed. This created a modern, minimalist aesthetic, offering the perfect backdrop for new memories to unfold.
The priority for this expansion was clear: to create a harmonious flow between the existing structure and the new second-story addition. “We were determined to preserve the architectural integrity of the home while maximizing functionality for the growing family,” says Heuer. This delicate balance became the guiding principle throughout the design and construction process.
Expanding a historical home presented unique challenges. “Blending new construction with original architecture without losing the home’s character was our biggest hurdle,” Heuer admits. The team had to navigate carefully, paying close attention to proportions, materials, and finishes to ensure the new spaces felt integrated rather than disconnected. Working within the constraints of older structural elements also required creative problem-solving to optimize space and function.
