I suspect that's not "the wrong direction" so much as "didn't have the money". Strikes me they couldn't afford the brushed stainless and nickel that design needs [all those railings look brutal as-is]. Same with the windows. They *really* needed to go with some larger, likely custom, sizes, and there are few things more breathtaking than the prices on custom-cut windows. Also needs a gas stove IMO, but I would have had a hard time passing on that one.

Heating in Georgia is a pain in the ass because of how much the rates change. Your gas bill goes from $40 a month to $200 a month if it's a cold winter. And in the summer, your power bill skyrockets to run the AC.

The house we actually bought is also freaking huge (5400 square feet), but is actually not that bad to cool. There are ceiling fans in every single room, and the second owner began to replace the wood windows (which should never, ever be used in Georgia), with proper vinyls. Downstairs is enough underground that we are able to pretty much cut that AC completely off and get airflow through there from the fans. It ended up being just a little more than Swamp Castle to cool.

Is Atlanta much hotter than Oregon (the furthest south in States I've been)?

As much as I like the people I've met down there, and as much as I admire the beauty of the land down there.....
FUCK HOTLANTA.
I'm not a huge fan of Oregon either (constant state of gloom and cloudiness sucks balls...) but alas, Atlanta is way down on the list.

As to Atlanta heat and the humidity, you kind of get used to it. I was out in 100+ degree heat driving fence posts with a sledge. I had to stop about once an hour to just spray myself with a hose or work inside for a bit assembling hardware, but it actually wasn't that bad.
