Athens State University looks to improve Historical Home

The President’s House at Athens State University, known as the Bullington House, was built in 1910 and is an example of Colonial Revival architecture.  As part of the exterior renovations, the University contacted HNP to provide design services for an outdoor courtyard to entertain guests and alumni.  The programming for the exterior spaces includes a full outdoor kitchen, gathering space for approximately 40 guests, updated ADA access and the preservation of existing trees.

HNP developed a series of concept sketches and a photo-realistic digital model to help the President and his wife visualize the courtyard space and illustrate how the design decisions and classic plant material selections will complement the historic architecture of the residence.  Construction for this project is expected to begin in the spring of 2021.
