SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
When Springhill Suites decided to locate in the historic district of Savannah their architect called on Greenline Architecture to assist with the exterior design to meet the soon to be imposed, revised historic district ordinance. We not only met the ordinance but provided a design that allowed an additional story and created a contemporary solution that suites the historic environment without seeming out of place on beautiful Oglethorpe Avenue. The design incorporates brick, cast stone and glass on the exterior, with a modulated façade to help to break-up the 280’ length of the building.

Marriott Residence Inn

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
Designed to be sited in the Central of Georgia railroad complex, the hotel had to suit the historic context of the former railroad workers village that used to occupy the site. Greenline Architecture achieved this goal by designing several buildings; one to resemble a 19th century building that could have housed railroad offices, one that look as though it could be an industrial building and several small wood framed cottages. The overall effect is not typical of the Marriott brand, but is very successful in historic Savannah. The project received an Historic Savannah Foundation award for “thinking outside of the box”.

Two Smart Cookies

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
Tucked behind two large live oaks along White Bluff Drive, is our favorite local bakery, Two Smart Cookies. Designing this farmhouse inspired bakery was as fun as the treats it was built to make. The site layout was centered on the preservation of two historic oak trees. Guests are greeted under a playful tower painted bright green with the Two Smart Cookies logo. Inside, an open plan allows guests to view the production of cookies and take in the smell of the sugary sweets. The 7,800 s.f. building also houses two tenant spaces and a pre-order customer pick up area, which are tucked behind the main building and feature large sliding barn doors.

RINCON & POOLER, GEORGIA
Atlantic southern bank asked Greenline Architecture to design branch banks that would suit the small town persona of rincon and pooler. These branches are modern banking facilities that can expand with the growth of the bank. Greenline chose to employ some of the small bank vernacular that was seen across the united states at the turn of the 20th century.

SPRINGFIELD, GA
The Effingham County Courthouse was designed by Hyman Witcover, a Savannah architect and constructed in 1908. Due to the historical significance of the building, the design/ construction team of JT Turner Construction, Hussey, Gay, Bell, and Deyoung and Greenline Architecture analyzed the architectural character of the building and followed the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Historic Preservation in renovating the structure. Much of the building, along with the courtroom, was restored to its 1908 appearance. The building achieved LEED Gold certification with the USGBC.

Wilmington River House

Savannah, Georgia
The design inspiration for this home on the Wilmington River comes from the various architectural and cultural influences of the Caribbean islands. The goal was to make a one-story house that suited the environment and break up the nearly 18,000 square feet of living area. This was achieved by creating a main house that has the primary living functions along with two bedrooms, a game room, media room and even a dish pantry. The other bedrooms and guest spaces were divided up amongst three guest houses, one of them being a 1930s dock house original to the site. The pool is the focal point on the river side of the house.

Georgia Air National Guard Fire Station - LEED Gold!

chris — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 16:29:52 +0000

This project involved a renovation and addition to the existing fire station at the 165th Air National Guard. The current building was over 20 years old and no longer met the current needs of the ANG. The addition involved new crew quarters, office space, kitchen & day room facilities and a vehicle maintenance bay. A new command center and facilities for visiting Guard units was also included in the project. The building was fitted with a new sloping, standing seam metal roof and HVAC and electrical systems were replaced and upgraded. The building was designed to LEED standards and received a Gold Certification, the first Air National Guard project to do so in GA; only the second in the U.S.

Built in 1912 as the Chatham Bank this classical revival building is an icon on Savannah’s Johnson Square.
Greenline Architecture was asked to update the interior bank floor partitions to suit the needs of a modern banking operation. The beautiful interior is also getting a classically inspired updated color scheme. The original interior and exterior features that define the period and style will remain.

The pool is the focal point on the river side of the house.
