Studio Ballard

At Studio Ballard, we have been working with home builders and their clients for over 20 years. Brooks Ballard started designing home plans for a local Atlanta affordable housing corporation while still a grad student at Georgia Tech. These homes were pretty straight forward bungalows for infill lots in a struggling neighborhood. But the homes there still had character and so did the residents. They wanted to make sure that the new homes being built would fit in and uplift, not detract, from their neighborhood. Studio Ballard has grown similarly to these proud neighborhoods. What were once just up and coming communities are now some of the most desirable places to live. Like our home plans, these neighborhoods have all the modern comforts and are dynamic, convenient and accessible. Our clients are typically couples who have bought into a neighborhood because they love its charm and convenience. They’ve bought that “fixer upper” on a nice street, but now realize that the bones of that structure are just too small or brittle to make right. They want to upgrade their home but not lose the character. That’s where we come in. We take the lessons from our more affordable days and apply those principles to our new plans to achieve a modern, comfortable home on a small lot without losing the character of the neighborhood. The portfolio we’ve presented to houseplans.com includes the most popular of our home plans that we’ve worked on developing over the course of the past few years. We look forward to working with you to develop these further with you.
