Cameron Bishop
 
Cameron was born and raised on a barrier island in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. He has always been drawn to buildings and landscapes that have a timeless quality and a strong sense of place.  He grew up exploring the creeks and salt marshes by boat and observing the beautiful homes nestled into the land, shrouded by Spanish moss and live oaks. 

Cameron received a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from Clemson University. While at Clemson he lived abroad in Genoa, Italy at the Charles E. Daniel Center for Building Research and Urban Studies where he traveled extensively throughout Europe.  Following his undergraduate studies Cameron returned to the Lowcountry and lived in Charleston, South Carolina where he worked with a small residential design-build firm and acquired hands on construction experience.
 
He received a Master of Architecture and a Master of Science in Classical Design from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and lived abroad to study classical architecture in Italy, Greece, and Turkey.
 
Cameron remained in Atlanta where he worked with Stan Dixon of D. Stanley Dixon Architect for 11 years.  He gained invaluable experience working closely with clients to design homes across different regions of the Southeast and several of his projects received the Philip Trammell Shutze Award presented by the Southeast Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and were featured in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, Milieu, and Veranda.
 
Cameron maintains a passion for education and serves on the Education Board of the Southeast Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art.

Syl Bartos
 
Syl’s love for architecture was cultivated at a young age in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina.  The eclectic mix of houses and tree lined streets winding through Myers Park’s Olmstedian landscape leave lasting memories and ambitions for how architecture and landscape can inspire and delight.  These early experiences set a clear path and compelled him to pursue architecture.
 
Syl received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and Master of Science in Classical Design from Georgia Institute of Technology and a Master of Architecture from the University of Notre Dame.  During his studies he received several national awards for the National Civic Art Society’s Eisenhower Memorial Counterproposal Competition and Philadelphia’s Ed Bacon Design Competition.  He also spent time living abroad in Rome and traveled across Europe studying classical architecture.  He maintains an active role in the academic community and regularly participates in architecture student juries at the American College of the Building Arts in Charleston, South Carolina.
 
After completing his education, he returned to Atlanta where he acquired experience in residential architecture under the guidance of Stan Dixon of D. Stanley Dixon Architect.  During his 9 year tenure working closely with clients on national and local projects his work has received recognition including the Philip Trammell Shutze Award presented by the Southeast Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art as well as being published in Architectural Digest and Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles.
