Fall is a time for fresh beginnings, and this issue showcases new homes that were built from scratch. There’s just something special (yet hard to define) about a new house—it’s kind of like when you buy a new automobile and get the bonus of that “new car” smell. It’s exciting, plain and simple. Although there are obvious interior and exterior differences among the three houses featured this month—one is contemporary, another is classically inspired and the other melds rusticity with urban flair—certain similarities appear in each. For starters, comfort reigns supreme. Each home also excels in proper scale and proportion according to its style of architecture. With that, there’s no doubt that the guidance of talented design professionals helped bring the homeowners’ dreams to fruition. But, most importantly, each home reflects the personal tastes, passions and interests of those who live there. And what more could one ask for?

ATLANTAHOM ES MAG.COM
When she’s not relaxing in her Charles Gandy-designed contemporary penthouse in Midtown’s Colony Square, Brenda Galina, the executive director for the Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA), is brainstorming ways to bring the boutique design museum one step closer to greatness. Her biggest coup to date: scoring a high-profile, streetfront presence for MODA in Midtown, directly across from the High Museum of Art in the new Perkins + Will building—after spending years under the radar in Peachtree Center’s Marriott Marquis Tower downtown. “The ‘big daddy’ may be across the street, but the Museum of Design has its own little niche…it’s small, it’s elegant and it’s perfect,” Galina says. Pointing out to the public the merits of good design—whether it’s architecture, interiors, fashion, industrial or product design—comes as second nature to the museum administrator, a native New Yorker who has amassed an enviable art collection from prominent local, regional and international artisans, including Chad Awalt, Ida Kohlmeyer and James Lahey. In fact, it’s her impeccable eye for sculpture, art glass and painting that’s allowed Galina to see product design as not only beautiful but also museum- and discussion-worthy. In fostering that interdisciplinary design dialogue, she’s challenging and engaging the city’s future talent,
whether it’s students from Georgia Tech, SCAD and the Portfolio Center or organizations like The Young Architects Forum. The goal is always the same: design appreciation. And Galina sees MODA as “the magnet pulling everyone together.” What’s most compelling, she says, is producing boutique-style exhibitions that look beyond the installations to create a genuine experience that’s both tactile and thought-provoking. Case in point: the upcoming Passione Italiana: Design of the Italian Motorcycle, an exhibition that will be complemented by Italian fashion (think Versace), cinema and opera. Keeping the conversation fresh will be the new museum’s storefront windows opening up to Peachtree, which will boast constantly changing, staged installations similar to department store displays. “Part of our mission is to educate the public on design and to make that dialogue available to everyone,” Galina says. When something serendipitous happens, like the museum’s design-is-universal philosophy finally making its debut on the Midtown arts corridor, one can only determine that it happened by design. BRENDA GALINA GIVES AH&L A BEHINDTHE-SCENES TOUR OF THE NEW LOCATION FOR THE MUSEUM OF DESIGN ATLANTA, WHICH WILL HOLD COURT IN THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE NEW PERKINS + WILL BUILDING ON PEACHTREE. KNOLL CHAIRS FROM CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTS.

A star of the residential, commercial and hospitality design industries, this interior designer—the owner and president of DES-SYN—is perhaps best known for her work on EcoManor, the personal home of Rutherford and Laura Turner Seydel and the first-ever LEED-certified residence in the Southeast. With BEE, her new East Andrews Drive atelier and first retail venture, Cooke has dreamed up an emporium of cool, calm, and intriguing oΩerings, from richly textured textiles and relics-turneddesign objects to historically inspired glassware and a welledited selection of international antiques.

Standouts include supple cork handbags from France, natural upholstery by Inside Green and Atlanta-based La Ruche, a hexagonal dining table made of reclaimed wood and six varieties of local honey, but the art-enthused will be equally amazed by an exclusive series of 250 large-format photograpic prints by Maggie Hasbrouck that sell for as little as $450 apiece. 26 East Andrews Dr., Atlanta 30305.

who are applying its superb quality leathers to a number of chic design projects. Acclaimed style blogger Jennifer Boles, a.k.a. the Peak of Chic, recently installed the Vienna Ocean Blue leather in a nailhead design on an interior door of her Buckhead condominium. Similarly, Raymond Goins used the company’s luxurious Kipling Canary Yellow for a tufted door in the 2010 Atlanta Symphony Associates Decorators’ Show House. The Lynchburg, Virginia-based company, which was launched in 1933, still operates without a physical showroom, so all trade inquires and orders must be placed directly through a Moore & Giles rep.

Atlanta interior designer Suzanne Kasler also debuted an exciting new lighting line this spring in collaboration with Circa Lighting; elegant designs that have already garnered a tremendous fan base due to their dashing good looks.

Gallerist Alessandra Carter—whose gallery, Astolfi Art, celebrates its one-year anniversary at White Provisions in November—boasts an impressive history in the Atlanta art scene, having previously owned galleries on Miami Circle and East Paces Ferry for nearly a
decade. Her new space, located just steps away from many of the best restaurants and shopping spots in the city, is perhaps most notably Atlanta’s primary source of paintings by Todd Murphy. Yet, Carter continues to build upon this strong foundation with many other noteworthy contemporary talents, from John Folsom and Tony Hernandez to Kevin Archer and Sandra Milton. 1170 Howell Mill Rd., Suite P16, Atlanta 30318.

One of the world’s oldest cultivated fruits and a close, albeit less hardy cousin to the apple, the pear has a sublimely gritty texture and juicy flesh that makes it equally great for cooking and munching straight off the tree. Popular American varieties include the sweet and succulent Anjou, the creamy Bartlett, the versatile Comice and the earthy-sweet Bosc, but the more rare Moonglow and Starking Delicious are some of Georgia’s most viable. Enjoy the high season of this delicious pome fruit through the end of October.

light at Hagedorn Foundation Gallery, including gallery owner and photographer Paul Hagedorn, who debuts his “Peachtree Battle” series, which explores the dichotomy of childhood play and danger, as well as perception and reality. Meanwhile, artist Lisa Kereszi presents semi-abstract, compositional photographs of cast-oΩ cultural objects. Through 10/26.

At the Museum of De-
sign Atlanta this month, Kristofer Laméy—industrial designer, artist and past Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles “20 under 40” honoree— presents select limited-edition works culled from his private collectors. Highly interested in the physical qualities of materials, Laméy highlights the relationships between forms and their environments and examines the conflicts created by human relationships with industrial objects. 10/1-10/30.

Continuing this month at
the Atlanta History Center, the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial exhibition, “With Malice Toward None,” commemorates the 200th anniversary of the president’s birth and chronicles his journey from prairie lawyer to political powerhouse. Addressing Lincoln’s private realm as much as the monumental issues he faced as a leader— from slavery to Civil War and Reconstruction—the exhibit uses artifacts of the day to paint an intimate portrait of this revered statesman. The museum is the only venue in the South to host this traveling exhibition organized by the Library of Congress. Through 11/7. (404) 814-4000; atlantahistorycenter.com
Three new exhibitions
open at The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center this month, all of which take a jarring, avant-garde approach to subject matter. Laura Poitras’ “O’ Say Can You See?” comprises film footage shot during September 2001 at Ground Zero, with audio recorded weeks later at the World Series game on October 20. With their “Recent Photographs,” artists Steve Aishman and Jaimie Warren explore themes of food, friendship, pop culture and absurdity. Finally, Canadian artist Mia Feuer’s massive and chaotic industrial sculptures reference architectural structures on the verge of collapse. 10/9-12/12. (404) 6881970; thecontemporary.org

HOMES
At the culmination of one of Georgia’s hottest summers on record, October invites us to finally get outside again and enjoy our outdoor spaces. That’s exactly why we’re so smitten with the succeeding trio of architectural gems, all of which play up the beauty of their natural surroundings. For a modern Morningside dwelling with a Dutch Colonial spin, architect BRADLEY HEPPNER and interior designer AMY MORRIS installed an unadorned neutral scheme amid clean lines and loads of natural light. With the aid of rustic touches and rooms that stretch almost imperceptibly into the outdoors, they’ve established a sense of harmony for a busy family of four. Designer BETH WEBB and architect PETER BLOCK took a similar tack at an Edwin Lutyens-inspired home in Buckhead, where tactile textures and plentiful windows imbue constant continuity with the exterior. And in the case of a second home along Lake Oconee, designer GRETCHEN EDWARDS and HARRISON DESIGN ASSOCIATES brought the essence of the lush lakeside scenery in, incorporating earthy materials and creating comfortable seating groups to give its homeowners the ultimate relaxing retreat. 41
“The Hartleys are of the form and function mindset,” says designer Amy Morris. “Our goal was to keep everything simple. The whole point of the house was not to have room that was not used.” The living room, which doubles as a family room, is a fitting example of this conceit. Sleek but comfortable furnishings were incorporated into the space and fun, cowhide-covered “X” benches instantly lighten up the look and add modern appeal. A vivid citron canvas by Sidney Guberman brings the whole scheme to life. opposite “The stairwell was Brad’s genius,” adds Morris. Fronted by a massive steel window matching that on the opposite wall, it forms the sculptural centerpiece of the room and provides a much cleaner look than a traditional millwork staircase would have.

DESIGNER AMY MORRIS AND ARCHITECT BRADLEY HEPPNER TEAM UP TO CREATE A MODERNINFLECTED HOME THAT STILL PAYS HOMAGE TO THE ARCHITECTURE OF ITS TRADITIONAL SURROUNDINGS WRITTEN BY KATE ABNEY
PHOTOGRAPHED BY ERICA GEORGE DINES
PRODUCED BY RACHEL CARDINA LASSERRE 43
Since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used for everything from morning meals to lively evening gatherings, the dining room needed to be both inviting and versatile. A mix of seating styles plays to this function, while walls of windows let in light and allow the family to take in the lush outdoor views from every vantage point. Reclaimed wood ceiling beams and a ďŹ replace contribute tremendous warmth while a four-foot table extension makes room for larger, more formal occasions.

m
Morningside dwellers Mia and David Hartley called upon architect Bradley Heppner to design the modern home of their dreams in their predominantly traditional Midtown neighborhood. Though its streets are dotted by the masterworks of Crook and Reed, the house they share with their two daughters stands out among the flock for its unique combination of architectural references. While its façade maintains a traditional silhouette, the modern concrete structure is freshened by a coat of pure white plaster and steep gables, reminiscent of Dutch colonial buildings found in the West Indies and influenced by the modern agrarian architecture of Australia’s Glenn Murcutt. By connecting the traditional front portions of the residence with more modern, barrel-shaped elements on
the posterior, Heppner was able to integrate light in a way that feels modern and clean while combining both aesthetics seamlessly. For the interior design, Heppner brought Amy Morris on board early, the two having worked together on several previous projects. Even though this was one of Morris’ first contemporary assignments, the architect knew she would be the ideal fit. “Amy is great at blending a sense of tradition with a modern aesthetic,” he explains. “Even her traditional homes have a very modern feel to them. I knew she would fit well with what we were trying to do with this house.” Mia—who prefers to dress in basic shades of black, white and taupe—wanted much the same color scheme for her home. Her request was to create a super-functional modern house in black and white, one with as little ornamentation as possible: simple lines, no rugs, no window treatments, if possible, and above all, no fluΩ. “I don’t like a lot of clutter, and I don’t like a lot of busy stuΩ,” she notes. “We appreciate a simplicity of design, for everything to have a practical, pragmatic use.” This absence of excess presented a design challenge for the interiors, but not one that Morris wasn’t eager to surmount. To expand upon the neutral scheme yet keep the look simple, she used the homeowners’ favorite contemporary art by Martin Dawe as well as a vivid 45

A high clerestory ceiling allows light to radiate throughout this homey kitchen. “There’s a real hesitancy when you design a 16-foot ceiling, that you’re going to feel lost in a space,” notes Heppner, “but I think that the architectural curves make this room feel warm and comfortable.” To keep things durable and easy to clean, Morris selected practical quartz countertops and used tight grout joints between tiles, while energy-efficient appliances improve day-to-day functionality. Acres of storage were also built into the custom walnut cabinetry which, set against several light-colored surfaces, creates a super-graphic look. For a finishing touch, iridescent ceramic tiles that Morris sourced tirelessly for this project have a look as luminous as mother of pearl. opposite Designer Amy Morris 46

Scant gray linen scrims add surprise in the living space. “We didn’t originally plan for them, but I felt that if we didn’t have a rug, we would have to have window treatments,” Morris explains. “These serve to anchor the room and keep this gathering spot from feeling like it is floating.” opposite The architecture was equally well-conceived, and maintains harmony with the interiors, too. “It was about indulging Mia’s desire to have very modern forms while tying that into the traditional fabric of the neighborhood,” notes Heppner. “The lines in and outside the house reference each other constantly,” Morris adds.

yellow canvas by Sidney Guberman. Adding to a foundation of the client’s contemporary furnishings, Morris incorporated many pieces with a feminine touch, such as gracefully sloping Donghia armchairs and an open-back Holly Hunt banquette. A few custom pieces from Amy D. Morris Interiors—including a bed, dining table and bedside tables—anchor the mix with strong, masculine shapes while the simplest of window treatments contributes softness. To keep the rooms light, bright and minimalistic, nine-inch white oak planks were used on all the floors while similar nine-inch timbers appear on the home’s crowning element—a staircase that’s more a sculptural art piece than a utilitarian fixture. To frame it, Heppner installed a steel window just like the one on the opposite wall, an artful addition that also eliminated the need for an additional hand railing. Even more remarkably, he devised a “trap door” to the basement below; concealed unassumingly within the floor, it can be lifted via a pulley to reveal the stairway to the cellar below. Mia also had clear directives for the dining area. “In our previous house, we had a formal dining room and a formal living room that were never used,” she explains. “I wanted a space that we used every day to be very inviting.” Because it triples as a breakfast area, dining room and family meeting place, a mix of seating styles was needed to keep the space from feeling too rigid. Happily, a custom table with a four-foot extension makes room for extended gatherings and more formal occasions. This room is also unique for the manner in which its low ceilings and reclaimed wood beams impart a sense of intimacy. “Modern, to me, can get really cold,” Heppner says. “I tried to incorporate a lot of
materials that were made by hand into the house. It still feels clean but it has warmth.” Radius corners lend a similar, cocoon-like eΩect elsewhere in the home. Their soft curves, along with barrel-shaped elements throughout the house, bounce light around to such a degree that artificial lighting is not needed until sundown, Heppner explains. To that end, the home has no ceiling fixtures; instead, recessed lighting was used 49
The flattened roofline of the dining room extends to an inviting covered terrace, lending visual continuity to this very private outdoor space. Just beyond, the modular elements of the pool terrace and surround reflect the handiwork of Heppner in concert with landscape architect John Howard, who gave the homeowners smart and sustainable landscaping to match their modern aesthetic.

almost exclusively with the exception of the kitchen, where task lighting was needed. The natural hub of the house, this room was rendered highly functional thanks to roomy ebonized walnut cabinetry and a clerestory ceiling to let light in where it’s needed most. The upstairs was devoted to the girls, who get their own sleeping quarters as well as communal spaces to hang out, study and work on school projects. Outdoors, Heppner worked with landscape architect John Howard to create a level playing field for the courtyard and modular pool elements. Located just oΩ a pool terrace that extends visually from the flat-ceilinged dining room, it is accessible by several doors that open wide, essentially blurring the lines between indoors and out. Walls of windows also play to this theme by letting in lots of natural light. And because the family didn’t want a yard to tend to, the surrounding landscaping was designed to be self-sustaining. Perhaps the best indication of the home’s success is how well it lives. “When you walk through the house, it feels so right. The scale is so right. Every room has a purpose,” Morris says. “Everything in the house works just perfectly for us. I tell Brad all the time that I’m amazed every day by how well it suits us,” echoes Mia. “I love looking at it and I love living in it. There’s nothing I wish I had done diΩerently or would want to change.” It is that sort of reception, as every design team knows, that is the ultimate mark of success. SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK. 51
In order to eliminate the impression of a basement stairway, Heppner developed a concealed door within the floor that can be lifted via a pulley system. “It’s counterweighted. The way we have it balanced, it’s very simple,” he explains. “You lift it the way you would lift the hatch of an old root cellar in the Northeast.” opposite Upstairs, the two girls have their own bedrooms and share a jack-and-jill bathroom, as well as a TV room and an illuminated project area at which to do homework.

opposite and right Pared-down comforts reign in the master bedroom. “Very early on, the homeowners made a point that they did not like window treatments,” notes Morris. “But since the master bedroom was at the front [of the house], I knew we would have to use them. I think they work because they were so simply done; they were simple linen panels, with no details.” below Horizontally placed, floor-to-ceiling gray and white porcelain tiles create graphic interest in the girls’ bathroom, which was especially important considering the simplicity of the rest of the space. bottom In the powder room, the simple shape of a concrete bowl sink by Dex Studios is mimicked in that of an inexpensive IKEA mirror. “I’m all about mixing high and low,” Morris explains.

There
∏here are a lot of new houses in Atlanta that are built to look old, but there are few that actually exude an air of permanence and a sense of longevity. The new Buckhead home of JeΩ and Lisa Martin, and their three active teenage sons, is one that succeeds at both. Much of the credit goes to the design team assembled to create the English-style, Edwin Lutyens-inspired home which replaced a forlorn 1950s ranch that previously occupied the grounds. Designer Beth Webb, architect Peter Block, builders Shaba Derazi and Jim Meathe of Y.M. Derazi Custom Homes and landscape architect John Howard were the Martins’ collaborators of choice in creating a new “old” house—one filled with energy and life, and well-suited for a modern family. Much of the home’s energy and life, in fact, comes from the natural light that floods the residence throughout the day. “All of the major rooms of the house have windows on at least two sides, if not three,” says Block. “When you look out from almost any area, you see some exterior portion of the house. There is a sense of privacy but also a sense of connectedness and openness to the outdoors.” For example, the motor court is cut into the land and, when the great room’s three sets of French doors are opened wide, the outdoor area becomes another “room” for entertaining. On the other side of the same space, a loggia—complete with an outdoor kitchen,
58
living and dining areas, as well as a TV and fireplace—also blurs the line between indoors and out. That sort of modern-day flexibility was something that Webb maximized to its fullest advantage. “This is a family whose priorities are straight,” she says. “Designing this house wasn’t about show or fluΩ. It was about creating a comfortable house that would meet every need, and grow and change with them.” Throughout the home’s public spaces, palettes remain neutral but Webb energized them through her fabric selections for the custom upholstery and window treatments. “Texture is so important,” she says. “It makes things warm in an otherwise virtual taupe landscape. To give a monochromatic room life, you infuse it with texture.” Beyond the color and texture selections, the entire backdrop of the home’s interiors is restrained. “Simplicity was the Martins’ mantra,” Webb adds. From the lime-washed oak floors and the plaster walls to the exacting execution of the architectural detailing, the sum of the parts create a whole of timelessness. “It’s all about living in emotion,” says Block. “It’s about creating houses that have soul, living in houses that have a life to them. That’s what it’s all about.” SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.
PEACEFUL PALETTE clockwise from left For the design of the balustrade in the foyer, architect Peter Block used a picket motif, but inverted it, alluding to an Arts & Crafts tradition. With a second garage and guest suite sited in front of the home, the property takes on the characteristics of a residential compound.

“The complexity of the materials and the amount of detail in the house has made this home one of my most exciting projects to date.” -GRETCHEN EDWARDS

A style spectrum would place rustic and contemporary at polar ends, but this visionary jewel of a home—nestled on a hillside of picturesque Lake Oconee—proves opposites do attract. Harrison Design Associates and interior designer Gretchen Edwards defied convention by fusing elements of these two contradictory aesthetics into one masterful retreat. “The exterior is all about the natural form; the traditional applications of stone and cedar, and how they blend into and become part of the land,” explains project manager Steve Markey of Harrison Design Associates. “The interiors, however, are a refreshing counterpoint with sleek and more sophisticated uses of natural materials.” Indeed, Edwards complements the clean, modern lines of the indoor spaces with a stunning array of warm woods and textures. Walnut, cypress, alder and barn wood were transformed into ceilings, walls, doors, tables and chairs while intriguing textures such a rope, abaca fiber and even pony hair took on new life as unique accessories. The home’s great use of assorted materials is none more apparent than in the well-appointed powder room. The custom vanity consists of a limestone top and zinc-wrapped doors while the ceiling and mirror are made of cypress wood. Rounding out the eclectic mix are two colors of linen wallpaper and thin glass tile adorning the walls. Though a neutral color palette acts as a common thread, unique elements in each room gives every space a distinct look and charm. While planks of alder wood on the walls of the main level master bedroom help create a strong, yet serene contrast of cream and chocolate brown, a metallic grasscloth wallcovering adds pizazz to an adjacent vestibule. But most remarkable are the walls of a terrace level bedroom which were made entirely of Jerusalem stone. “Stone was used everywhere, from the floors to the walls to the baths. The tile installer had three crews working at the same time, but it took months to complete,” remembers Edwards. “The complexity of the materials and the amount of detail in the house has made this home one of my most exciting projects to date. It’s also been one of the most challenging because it wasn’t just putting up sheetrock and selecting paint colors.” Never once does the intricacy of the home becoming overwhelming, though. After all, it was built for entertaining. “The homeowners rarely go by themselves,” shares the designer. “They always host several families.” To that end, engaging seating layouts throughout the communal spaces encourage conversation while a custom, oversize table in the dining room not only accommodates multiple guests but also a delicious array of dishes that showcases the owners’ love of cooking. Furthermore, heat lamps and retractable screens were installed on the spacious covered porch to make this second home truly a retreat for all seasons. With nearly every room of the home boasting views of the lake, it would be impossible not to return time and time again. “It’s breathtaking; when you get there you never want to leave,” says Edwards. “All the Atlanta traΩic—or whatever stress it took you to get there— just melts away as you let yourself be immersed in serenity.”
Edwards created contrast in the master bath by balancing the omnipresent white marble with dark wood paneling on the tub. Also, giving the dominantly contemporary space some rustic charm are a metal chandelier and artwork of dried foliage, preserved in glass, from The Mercantile. opposite Continuing the theme into the master bedroom, Edwards worked with varying shades of browns.

IN YOUR
Throw out all the dorm room junk and this includes all posters; your new colleagues at work don’t care if you love Pfish. • High tail it over to IKEA, West Elm and all of the thousand Pottery Barns to buy a real sofa. Aero beds are not an option. • Try to buy some real art from your friends; they will soon have to get paying jobs. • Your bathroom deserves some TLC; buy decent towels and sundries at Walmart. Yes, Walmart. • When in doubt, buy a bunch of cheap palm trees and go for a jungle motif.
20s
30s
That aforementioned real sofa needs to be cleaned or slipcovered. Why did you buy a dog when you are still eating Grape Nuts for dinner? • Get yourself a rug—a nice one. Look on eBay and Craig’s List and then, after you have that rug, paint one wall or an entire room a devastating color. • Take that color and get coordinating candles, pillows and accent pieces to create a design statement. • Now go back on eBay and Craig’s List and get that bedroom on track. You can get a 1950s or ‘60s bedroom suite (I know, the word “suite” sets our collective teeth a-clenching) and paint it all a glossy, fun color. Look for bedding to match at Bed, Bath & Beyond or Anthropologie. Get in your overpriced car and drive. • Try watering your plants; your home is like the Mojave Desert. While you are at it, add some architectural touches—moulding and maybe wainscoting—if you have made the leap to being a homeowner. • If you have started a family, do not go overboard on fancy baby furniture. Remember, these infants will soon be obnoxious teens so plan accordingly. A Moses basket, however, is not suitable for a 5-year-old.
40s
Remember those people you spent way too much time with as a child? Yep, that’s them. Parents. They should be downsizing about now, so grab any antiques they have before they find a place for them in their new condo. • While you are over there getting furniture, lay your hands on some china and silver. You foolishly registered for wedding gifts at Crate & Barrel so you need silver. • Time to renovate. The economy is in crisis and there are former Vanderbilt philosophy professors who can talk about existentialism and do a decent job on granite counters. While renovating, avoid anything trendy; you will have to sell this house if those kids don’t smarten up and get some scholarship money. Go for white baths and neutral kitchens. You may love that glittery mosaic tile but your buyer will not. • Are those children still lurking about? Get them motivated to paint their rooms and give them a small allowance for frames, bedding and side tables. We want them to stay home, away from the evil influence of their peers. Given their splashy new digs, their friends will hang out at your house but don’t worry, you can handle a teen with a dayold tongue piercing. Next month, tips for decorating in your 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
