GMShay designed and served as Architect-of-Record for Chatham City Apartments for their new 40 unit addition to the existing Chatham City Apartments in Garden City, GA. This affordable housing complex is a development of philanthropic nature and creates new apartments with extensive site development to provide a more modern alternative to the existing post-WW2 buildings in the overall development. In the early stages of site plan development, GMShay designed the complex to be a small neighborhood, providing more identity and safety for its tenants. Through this improvement we helped to add more parking spaces without reducing green space and increase the site detention capacity in order to relieve pressure on the storm water system in the overall area, thereby improving ecological resilience.
