Robert A.M. Stern's creation turns up in a new community modeled on the best of the past. We're trying to bring back a place where people interact. Eleven distinct tracts cluster around a sprawling wooded park, with a village green, a bandstand, an amphitheater and playing fields, all meant to encourage neighborly mingling.
Residents can sit on their porches and socialize.
Stern's nostalgic creation fits in perfectly here. For all the home's traditionalism, Macauley is not sure that its informal living-dining area will appeal to staid Atlantan tastes. Still, the developer hopes to build another someday. I'm considering moving into it myself.
