Summerour Studio

Summerour Studio is an expansive, refurbished warehouse located in Atlanta’s exciting Westside, where the city’s industrial past frames many destinations for design, dining, and style. This wonderfully unique building is the main studio for Summerour & Associates architecture firm. Updated in 2005 by renowned architect Keith Summerour, the building was previously the home to Preston Rose Printing, and had been in various uses since the 1920s. The roof over the 8000 square foot main space is supported by massive bow trusses, which allow the wide, open floor plan to be free of columns or supports. Revealed through a wall of windows that runs the entire length of the space is a breathtaking skyline view of Atlantic Station and Midtown. Arrival to the studio takes visitors through a charming walled courtyard that evokes a rustic Tuscan villa. Throughout the rest of the spaces, one is constantly reminded of—and inspired by—the rich architectural and design disciplines that take place within the building. Careful, creative re-uses of industrial elements guarantee surprise and delight, and—as an unforgettable focal point—a hand-crafted wood replica of Michelangelo’s Laurentian Library staircase sits grandly but quietly at the room’s south wall.
