Working With an Atlanta Design-Build Remodeler
Copper Sky Design + Remodel brings unparalleled design to historic home interiors in Atlanta, bringing them to life in the modern age without squandering their historic legacy. We take great pride in the quality of our designs, which come from our award-winning design team.
Additionally, we work with our clients to develop designs ideally suited to their tastes. We take time to consider several options, flushing out the details, and honing in on the look, feel, and textures you envision. Our in-house design staff works with you through every step of the process, allowing for complete transparency.
We begin by incorporating your goals and gathering important information, like desired amenities, square footage, and budget, as well as your wants and needs. The overall framework for your design is established from these details. We also factor in city and state code restrictions, zoning requirements, and other relevant considerations during this phase. Finally, we begin to hone in on the space requirements, and the scope of the project.
Working within the design-build framework, we offer both design and restoration Atlanta construction services. We house our design and construction teams in the same office. By sharing the space, ideas and communications flow unfettered, allowing for unparalleled ease. This results in fewer mistakes or miscommunications that can set your project back and results in a smoother, enhanced experience for you.
Working with an Interior Designer
If you’re trying to create a particular look by remodeling your Atlanta home, design matters. Simply adding period-specific decor and furnishings to your home won’t give you the look and feel that you want. You’ll need to work with a designer and, as a design-build company, Copper Sky Design + Remodel provides the design professionals you need.
One thing that differentiates Copper Sky from other remodelers is that our designers don’t work alone. They work hand-in-glove with our construction team to ensure everything in the design works together. Our designers collaborate with the builders to make sure the plans they produce are well within our construction team’s means and timeline.
Our interior designers can also help guide you through the selection process by using their expertise to select finishes that have a long-term appeal. Working with an interior designer can help you:
-
Quickly identify color schemes and material selections
-
Maximize your space by identifying different layouts
-
Facilitate communication with the construction team
-
Ensure that your home feels cohesive and welcoming
Popular Atlanta Design Trends
Designing a full-home renovation is no easy task. From selecting a style to choosing the perfect layout, there are so many decisions that need to be made before construction can even begin. To simplify the process, our designers recommend you start collecting ideas using websites like Houzz or Pinterest. With these sites, you can save and organize your ideas by room, which can help your designer to better understand the look that you're trying to achieve with your full-home renovation.
It’s also helpful to know what design trends are popular in your area. While design trends may come and go, there are a few styles that remain prominent throughout Atlanta. The mid-century modern, craftsman, and transitional styles reign in homes from Buckhead down to Inman Park. Learn more about these popular styles to see if one of them might be right for your renovation:
Mid-Century Modern
From the mid-1940s to the late 1960s, the mid-century modern style ushered in a whole new look for homes across America. Based on influences from the German Bauhaus design, this style focuses on natural light, family-oriented gathering spaces, and functional design.
Mid-Century Modern design features include:
-
An abundance of windows
-

-
Functional yet minimal design
-
Bright and saturated colors

Craftsman
The craftsman style is found in many homes across Atlanta. The craftsman style grew out of the British Arts and Crafts movement and lasted from the late 1800s through the 1930s. It incorporates locally handcrafted wood, metal, and glass elements to create a look that is both timeless and elegant. With its warm natural tones and rich textures, it's no wonder why this style continues to grow in popularity. Because of its emphasis on skilled labor and detailed handiwork over mass production, the craftsman style is one for which we have a deep affinity.

-
Wide plank wood flooring
-
Intricate stairways
-
Glass mullion cabinet doors
-
Beadboard ceilings
-
Banquette seating
-
Exposed beams
-
Natural woodwork
Transitional
If you love the modern look but want the warmth of a traditional-style home, the transitional style may be the best option for your renovation. Transitional style combines both traditional and modern furnishings and materials.
Transitional design features include:

Open concept layout
-
Neutral color palette
-
Simple, clean lines
-
Bold wall and ceiling treatments
