A thoughtful exhibit opening now at the High Museum is titled, “Shelter in Place.” Based on the new perspective of home that people gained over the past two years, “Shelter in Place” immediately separates its title from the alarming connotations it might have taken on as a response to safety and health precautions. Instead, artist Stephen Burks was prompted by the pandemic to ask questions of how the home can be more deeply cultivated as a place of comfort – and at the same time become a preferred locale for creation and productivity. Design is…

These past few years have led many of us to this realization: We can successfully work from home without our careers or businesses turning upside down. This lightbulb moment has inspired beneficial changes in how we work and has brought awareness to the importance of maintaining work-life balance. When we work from home, we can have the quiet we need for focusing and staying productive. And when we work from home, we are more able to notice our personal needs – due to less distractions – and make necessary changes to meet them, even if…

Today, where conflict and division swell around us, there is still one thing we all can agree on: Life would be dull without the attractive magic of the imagination and creativity of the arts. Art, whether it’s theater, music, literature, or something else, plants meaning and beauty into our lives. When life seems plain, creativity can spice it up. When life looks bleak, art can give us solace, hope, and joy. And when life feels characterized by division, art can bring us together despite differences. When living at J5, we can enter this freeing and…

In other words, Atlanta is the ideal place to work hard and play harder. And with J5 as our home, we can have it all. Atlanta is a hub of innovation and growth here in the South – a competitive metro for advancing in our fields and propelling ourselves into the future. This great city, however, has something else just as notable going on: It offers countless ways for having an amazing weekend. A Glimpse of What Could Be Imagine this: We’re waking up early on a Saturday morning after a long week of meeting…

Food. It’s what we love. It’s what we need. And it’s what we crave in all experiences of life. Some days we can’t wait to be home so we can sip on wine and nibble on chocolates while watching our favorite shows or staring out into the cityscape of Midtown Atlanta. Other days, we just want a juicy slab of steak with savory sides of seasoned, roasted vegetables and potatoes to feel a sense of wholesome and nourishing joy entering our bodies. And sometimes we want to rush out into the city life surrounding us…

We all know that feeling we get at the end of a busy week: An energetic craving to take control of the weekend and turn it into everything we’ve dreamed of while working. Sleep in without a care in the world? Yes, please! Eat some mouthwatering meals? Absolutely! Find relaxing spots to hang out? Let’s go! Capture beautiful moments in the city? Count us in! After staring into our screens and meeting numerous deadlines, we’re just ready for a different pace that leads from one enjoyable experience to the next. Luckily, we can have that…

At various points in our lives, we can find ourselves feeling a sudden, invigorating urge, one that calls us to pursue one of our most exciting options in life: change. Maybe this fresh desire points us toward a fruitful business opportunity. Maybe it reminds us to create a more fulfilling sense of balance in our lives. Maybe it guides us to a new home where we can unlock all the possibilities of a new location for creating a new way of life. Or maybe it’s all of these wants, and more. At J5 in Midtown,…

When thinking of our definition of home, most of us imagine a warm and cozy setting that reliably brings us a sense of peace, safety, and joy. In other words, it’s our charging station, our source of security, and our wellspring of happiness and inspiration. There’s just nothing quite like having a place such as this. It creates a feeling of satisfaction and delight that we endlessly crave and prize. At J5 Midtown, the luxury condos in Atlanta, Georgia, we feel this sensation in a new way. Through the designs and layouts of the property’s…

Walking through the Garden District, a natural gem of Midtown, we feel the warmth of summer making itself more and more dominant in our southern weather. The rays of sunlight dance on our bodies, making us feel alive and joyfully wild. The cool breeze of spring still brushes playfully past our skin and hair, reminding us of the season’s feeling of magic and rebirth. And the vegetation reaches for new heights before our eyes, with a celebration of blooms and lush new growth. Then there is the rest of Midtown, the urban scene stretching and…

Times and tastes change, and homes don’t always keep up. Even floorplans can seem as dated as bronze- or avocado-colored kitchen fixtures, and the bones of a house are much harder to overcome. Being move-in ready in the eyes of today’s homebuyer demands more than the standards of a few years ago. Even Atlanta high-rise condos must rise further to surpass what was known as elegant yesterday. That word may be a clue in itself. For generations, “elegant” seemed to mean fancy or ornate. Today, we understand the term in the way that engineers always…
