Design & Project Management in Sandy Springs, GA

Does Your House Work Against You?

If your Sandy Springs home was built between the 1960s and the 1980s, you already know the answer. The kitchen is walled off from everywhere you'd want to be. The formal living room goes unused. The split-level means you're always on the wrong floor.

There's nothing wrong with the house. There's a lot wrong with how it divides space.

Reworking that is design work, not decorating, and it usually means moving walls that may or may not be structural. Delano Designs measures and documents your home as it actually stands, plans the new layout, resolves the structural questions with an engineer when needed, and produces the drawings your contractor prices and builds from.

Sandy Springs runs its own permit office with its own submittal requirements, separate from the City of Atlanta. We prepare and file to those standards.

Common Projects on Sandy Springs Homes

• Whole home renovation design for ranches and split-levels that need the main floor rethought rather than refreshed.

• Kitchen remodeling design that removes the wall between the kitchen and the living space and rebuilds the workflow around how you actually cook.

• Primary suite additions and bath renovation design for homes built before a primary suite was standard.

• Basement finishing design for daylight and walkout basements, planned around the mechanicals and egress requirements.

• Addition and exterior remodeling design, including rear additions, screened porches, decks, and updated elevations.

• Aging-in-place design, with accessible bathrooms, wider circulation, and single-level living plans for homeowners staying put.

We work throughout Sandy Springs, from the Chattahoochee River up through the Roswell Road corridor and across to High Point and Riverside.
