Music-industry executive, amateur furniture designer, and former architecture student Shawn Moseley worked closely with designer Scott Ball to design and build his new house in central Atlanta. “What would a house look like,” Ball says he hoped to discover, “if we eliminated wall cavities, Sheetrock ceilings, interior bearing walls, and other items that typically create problems as a house grows old and the use patterns change?” The overarching goal was a design that worked better and was more grounded in Atlanta’s particular set of needs than a “traditionally” built home.
