Today is Thursday, September 9, 2010 and we are continuing our review week of the Slow Home Project with our look at the results from Atlanta.
Atlanta did not do as well as either Vancouver or Philadelphia. In fact, it has the lowest residential design quality of the three cities we have looked at this week. Only 36% of homes analyzed in Atlanta met the minimum design quality threshold of 13 out of 20 points on the Slow Home Test. Compare this number to Philadelphia at 53% and Vancouver at 79%, Atlanta sits as a distant third so far.

On a brighter note, we are very pleased to announce the winners of the Slow Home Awards from Atlanta as voted by you!
For Best Apartment/ Loft Project, the winner is “Castleberry Point – Unit A” by architects Stevens and Wilkinson and developed by Miller Gallman.
For Best Townhouse Project, the winner is “Inman Green – Townhome 106” by Rutledge Alcock Architects and the Pelle Development Group.
Congratulations to the winners and we look forward to visiting Atlanta to meet the people who worked hard on the projects, tour the sites and hand out the awards!
Join us tomorrow for our final day of data analysis where we will be looking at the results from Chicago! Where do you think Chicago will sit in comparison to the other cities looked at so far?
Also, send us your “Ask An Architect” questions for our live seminars next week! John and Matthew will be answering your real life questions about real estate, renovations, residential design or any other Slow Home related topics you want to cover in a live, interactive seminar. Check back on the site later in the week to see the schedule!
