Bayos on Chattahoochee
Originally designed and built in 1972 by renowned Atlanta architect Jim Tidwell, this 11,780 sqft property sits on a private, level Chattahoochee River lot.
Our client invited us over to walk the house while under contract, we knew right there what a super hidden opportunity this property presents. Seeing through what was in vogue in early 1970’s and trying to understand the architectural decisions made over 50 years ago, drawing analysis and seeking a flow that connects to our client’s present need for their family and lifestyle was a bit challenging. Timing was of the essence for our client and we had to get the house refreshed in 6 months.
Arriving this Country French brick home, the first thing you’ll notice is the ancient slate roof that we work diligently to preserve, removing, refreshing and reinstalling each slate by hand to preserve its ancient uniqueness. On the main level, we installed a custom modern digital Jet shower with multiple heads, a sprawling boutique style walk in closet and an open plan kitchen as a backdrop for souring height living room.
Our client is a top golfer and it was crucial to install a state of the art golf simulator on the lower level, we redesigned the bar by the Grand billiard room as the main entertaining area in the house, upgrade the gym with an addition of steam room and state of the arts equipment.
The pool and outdoor living area right on Chattahoochee was recently permitted and currently under construction.
The top highlight for us as a builder is the wine cellar. Walking into the wine cellar, you noticed the ancient Spanish tiles, you can perceive the strong smell of ancient oak wood, it smells like it’s been freshly sawed. Our approach to the wine cellar was to do nothing, preserving it as the part of the house that takes us back to 1970’s
“It has been a pleasure working with Ayo and the Bamkole’s team, we bought a 10,000 sqft by the river and hired the Bamkoles team for a full refresh, design and addition.
From start to finish, we witnessed exceptional professionals, Ayo and his team of craftsmen working at Bamkoles guided us through the selection and finishes choices, we were able to view our Kitchen and primary suite in 3D animation before actual construction, this gives us so much idea and control over the entire space. I would recommend Ayo and his team! What an amazing job, thank you.”
