Alys Beach, Florida Receives Recognition as America's First All-Fortified Community, Mixing Sustainable Construction with Antiguan and Bermudian Architecture

ATLANTA – October 11, 2007 – Established in 2000 and quickly gaining a reputation as one of Atlanta's hot architectural firms focused on modern architecture, Dencity recently aligned with DJ Landreneau Construction to establish one of the region's only full-service architecture-construction firms focused purely on modern design in residential and commercial projects.

The firm's unique marriage of European design sensibility, coupled with American ingenuity in its approach to construction, gained the confidence of Jason Comer, Founder of the extraordinary town of Alys Beach, Florida. In fact, Dencity was approved as the first outside architecture-construction team in the 158-acre sustainable development.

Working primarily on projects throughout the Southeast, Dencity founders Staffan Svenson and Bryan Russell are extending their expertise for distinct modern design in natural environments and challenging typographies such as flood plains, to develop some of Atlanta's most celebrated new modern architecture. Featured in the 2007 ATL: Modern Tour of Homes, Dencity offers a distinct "Concept to CO" framework that offers inherent speed and pricing advantages, both of which have been elusive historically when it comes to modern design.

"Since we made the strategic design to become a full-service architecture-construction firm with a modern focus, we have simplified the entire process for our clients, creating economies of scale while, more importantly, safeguarding the finished product and the timeliness of delivering that project," explains Staffan Svenson.

Adds Bryan Russell, "Our current clients for Alys Beach lived through a decentralized modern construction experience like many modern homeowners today. With a focus on modern across the discipline of design and build, we can ensure a consistent and pleasant experience. Alys Beach is an amazing community to showcase the synergies of our team and we look forward to future projects in what we believe will be seen as one of America's model communities."

"From the beginning, we made the ambitious decision to very clearly define the architectural language of Alys Beach," says Town Founder Jason Comer. "We very carefully selected twelve architects to collaborate on the concepts for our town’s first sixteen houses. What we found in Dencity is a highly qualified architecture-construction firm who brings a fresh approach to design and construction, in a way that complements our own efforts."

Led on the ground by D.J. Landreneau, Dencity leverages to the full extent technology and project management applications to deliver a higher degree of pricing and timeline predictability. Using a combination of skilled sub-contractors from Florida and Georgia, and an on-site team registered and licensed in architecture and construction, Dencity anticipates a series of coastal projects that will continue uninterrupted by any national housing conditions.
