Builder Biography: Steven Miles

"I do not want to build a house I would not be willing to live in and I want to be able to live in a neighborhood of houses I have built" - Steven Miles

This sounds like a simplistic philosophy until you examine it closely. It means no cutting corners. It means no using substandard materials on things nobody will ever see. It means being accountable. It means not being afraid to face the people who buy your houses on a daily basis. The statement is simplistic. Adhering to it is a monumental task but one which Steven Miles accepts.

Miles, a native of Snellville, Georgia and a graduate of South Gwinnett High School and Georgia Tech, has always had an interest in building. Throughout high school, he and his father, architect John M. Miles, had a project every summer building a tree house, a deck, a boardwalk and a gazebo in their yard. After graduation from high school, building construction was the obvious choice of college majors available.

While studying at Georgia Tech, Steven became interested in alternative construction methods. His terminal project was a study of alternative construction methods for use in residential construction. His research led him to consider light steel frame, steel stud construction, autoclaved aerated concrete, straw bales, insulated concrete forms, poured in place concrete, concrete lift-slabs, and rammed earth. During his research, Steven met Will Oliver of Polysteel Southeast, which would help him later.

Following his graduation, Steven began building houses the old fashioned way, with sticks and bricks. He worked with W Homes, renovating old homes, observing their construction and bringing them up to current code standards. He then moved on to Trademark Homes, building upscale homes in in-fill subdivisions in Buckhead and Brookhaven and in new conventional subdivisions in Alpharetta. In 1997, he left Trademark and started building homes on his own, employing traditional construction techniques but never losing his interest in alternative methods.

In mid 2000, several things came together rather serendipitously. Steven was working with a developer, finding tracts for him to develop so Steven would have somewhere to build homes. Steven kept finding tracts that did not lend themselves to traditional subdivision development but were ideal for development invoking new urbanism concepts. One such tract was in Snellville, Georgia. Snellville had a new city administration which was interested in redeveloping downtown. Steven and the City Council negotiated a rezoning application and conditions to allow development of Steven’s new subdivision and Governor’s walk was born. Steven took his idea and his zoning to Norman Nash, a local developer and a partnership was formed between their companies. Steven and Norman complement each other almost perfectly. Norman brings his experience and contacts to the mix while Steven adds his passion and lack of fear of doing something no one else has done.

Governor’s Walk is a blending of the old with the new. Steven has brought the city an innovative concept utilizing innovative designs and incorporating modern technology into a neighborhood out of yesteryear. Governor’s Walk is a neighborhood, not a subdivision. The predominant feature is a spacious boulevard in the middle of a looping one-way street, which has replaced the traditional cul-de-sac. This will be a gathering place for the neighbors. The garages have been moved to the rear of the homes and up to six houses share a driveway, removing driveways and garage doors from the streetscape. Large front porches, small front yards and wide sidewalks add charm to the neighborhood. All of the houses in Governor’s walk will be in the Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans style, adding to the nostalgia.

When Steven moves into Governor’s walk with his wife Michele and their year old son, Christopher, Steven will be moving out of the house he has lived in since his birth. He’ll be leaving a lot of memories behind but he will be living his philosophy of living in a house he built and being facing the people living in houses he builds on a daily basis.
