Crafting a Masterpiece: Sterling Park Properties Brings Cherrylion Studios to Life

At Sterling Park Properties, we pride ourselves on transforming visionary concepts into reality.

Our latest project, the construction of Cherrylion Studios, stands as a testament to our expertise and dedication in the realm of general commercial contracting. Located in the heart of Atlanta’s famed Beltline, Cherrylion Studios is now the largest custom sculpture studio in the region, thanks to our meticulous work and commitment to excellence.

The Blueprint for Success: Building Cherrylion Studios

The journey of creating Cherrylion Studios began with the erection of a prefabricated steel structure. This initial phase set the stage for a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to fine art sculpture.

Our team at Sterling Park Properties expertly managed each aspect of the build, ensuring that every detail was executed with precision.

To prepare the site, we first constructed a retaining wall to stabilize the terrain and prevent soil erosion. This foundational work was crucial for setting the stage for the subsequent construction phases. The delivery of retaining wall blocks marked the beginning of a solid groundwork for what would become a landmark studio.

With the foundation in place, including the installation of essential plumbing and electrical conduits, we proceeded to form the base structure using lumber. Our use of a telehandler machine allowed us to efficiently lift and position heavy metal pieces, facilitating the assembly of the steel framework. This careful assembly process was essential for creating the robust structure that now houses Cherrylion Studios on Atlanta’s Beltline.

A Studio Designed for Artistry

As construction progressed, our team focused on finishing touches that would enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the studio. The metal siding was installed, with a bold red color chosen to reflect the vibrant spirit of Cherrylion Studios.

Inside the studio, we selected Luan Board for the walls instead of traditional sheetrock. Owner of Cherrylion and Bronze Sculptor, Marty Dawe says, “This choice added a modern, wood-like texture to the interior, contributing to the studio’s unique design”. The Luan Board was cut into 4x4 sheets and installed in a striking checkerboard pattern, complementing the studio’s artistic atmosphere. Additionally, elongated windows along the top of the walls were strategically placed to maximize natural daylight, creating an inspiring workspace for sculptor Marty Dawes and his team.

A Legacy of Excellence

Project Manager, Riaan Garforth-Venter says, “The completion of Cherrylion Studios marks a significant achievement for Sterling Park Properties. With our extensive experience in managing complex builds, we are proud to have delivered a space that supports the creation of custom sculptures and large-scale public art installations”.

CEO at Sterling Park Properties, Emmanuel A. Baptiste says, “We are honored to have played a role in bringing this visionary project to life. The successful completion of Cherrylion Studios showcases our commitment to quality and our ability to turn ambitious dreams into tangible realities”.
