# The Hawkins

Chamblee, GA

The Hawkins is a multifamily community in Chamblee, GA, designed as a modern tribute to the area’s aviation and military history. Positioned beside the main runway at PDK Airport, the community features a rooftop viewing deck with commercial-grade binoculars and a telescope, giving residents a direct connection to its surroundings.

Interiors feel editorial and layered, anchored by a black-and-white palette with jewel-toned greens and warm chocolate accents. Leathers, bouclé textures, and menswear-inspired patterns reference classic pilot attire, while the art package brings the story to life. Highlights include a suspended paper airplane art piece in the lobby, thrifted and antique aviation artifacts, framed war memorabilia, sculptural airplane propellers, and contemporary art inspired by seatbelt detailing. Subtle nods to John Brown Gordon and a historical photo gallery further ground the design in place.

Amenity spaces were designed to feel immersive and memorable. A generous coworking suite includes a coffee bar, communal library tables, private offices, and tiered bleacher-style seating for both work and lounge moments. The fitness and yoga studios sit along the main corridor with direct access to outdoor deck space, while the courtyard pool is surrounded by premium residences and framed by twinkle lights, grilling areas, and evening views. The result is a bold, highly curated environment that balances heritage with modern living and delivers a truly distinctive residential experience.

Notes from our clients

“My first interaction with Banko was when they rescued me on another project… I was introduced to Melissa and she stepped right in. I was so impressed by what she pulled off both in terms of the product, the timeliness, just the resource she was that I started using her for most of our interior design work thereafter.”

Katherine Mosley, Partner, Tribridge Residential

“They do a great job listening, but also asking the right questions. Pointed questions. They're not afraid to ask those questions and push back when needed… We really appreciate the fact that Banko Design pushes back when needed, and candidly does so. We appreciate that. Feels like more of a partnership.”

Ashish Bagley, Manager, Tribridge Residential

“If you know Melissa, she's just full of energy, but extremely smart. And I thought that her whole team follows that example. You know, just high energy, but extreme detail in each of their categories. The kids are really going to enjoy \[this renovation\]. It will not only be a great experience for the students, but also the teachers… and this is going to be a special place for them. No one has seen a pre-school like this… with the carpet and the lighting and the glass, there's whole sections just designated for imagination and exploring. All of it put together really makes for a cool experience.”

Dana Ridenour, Assistant Head of School, Finance & Operations, Mt. Pisgah
