RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU purchased any of the following items this past winter: outdoor firepit, heat lamp or heat blankets, bistro-style lighting, pizza oven, portable sound system. (Does that list sound excessive? Guilty...) And that’s on top of the pickleball net, cornhole boards and disc-golf baskets we added to our yard last spring in efforts to entertain our three young and energetic boys. Short of moving houses to find room for our newfound outdoor activations (although this Spring may prove to be a hot real estate market; see page 26 for details), we’ve embraced the increased clutter, as it has allowed us to stay connected with neighbors, family and old friends alike during the pandemic. Looking beyond the short term, however, and into a more sustainable way of embracing the outdoors in our everyday lives, this issue explores everything from sup-

MALLORY MATHISON GLENN hosts the perfect party for friends to reconnect and celebrate after a long year at home Produced by

SUZANNA CULLEN HAMILTON Photographed by

DAVID CHRISTENSEN

AH&L: Tell us about your Spring Awakening Ladies Lunch. MALLORY MATHISON GLENN: After the past year, we’re ready to safely gather again with friends. This luncheon is about ﬁlling the table with artistry and color and ﬁlling the room with laughter and inspiration. AH&L: What are some elements of entertaining friends for a luncheon service that might be different from the way you would organize a sit-down dinner? MMG: I love a self-serve bar. While a fully stocked bar is perfect for evening, I prefer to keep things lighter at lunch and offer one signature cocktail. My current favorite is grapefruit juice,

vodka and a sprig of rosemary. AH&L: Share your secrets on how to mix contemporary and traditional elements, yet still maintain layers of interest. MMG: Interlacing opposing elements create an engaging interior and tabletop. The unexpected mix of contemporary and traditional; old and new; provincial and polished, creates an exciting narrative and makes a table interesting with the different textures, colors and periods. When mixing antique furniture with newer pieces, color can be a great unifying element. Be bold. Create an inventory and don’t be afraid! AH&L: You’re a master of mixing

pattern and color. How can we make our rooms more chameleon-like with updated elements? MMG: A round table is fabulous because I can change the look with table skirts. I prefer patterns on the bottom so I can add solid toppers for fresh looks. Slipcovers on chairs are another wonderful way to add pattern, color and contrast and they’re equally easy to change for various parties. AH&L: Where did you ﬁnd your beautiful place cards? MMG: My mother, Monteigne Mathison, is an artist who painted the miniature abstracts and then wrote the names on the reverse so that the other people at the table could see them. The little glass frames add a personal touch of art at every place setting. AH&L: Do you always use ﬂowers

and greenery? MMG: I love to use trees inside, and when they’re lifted off of the floor, they create an atmosphere that makes guests feel as though they’ve been transported into a garden. Beautiful flowers and scenic wallpaper really enhance the invitation to join the party. AH&L: You have a butler’s pantry: the envy of every entertainer! What do you find most useful about having this space? MMG: Collecting is my passion. The butler’s pantry affords plenty of storage space for vintage china, pitchers and glassware. I designed the glass cabinet doors so that I can easily see my pieces. The room isn’t large, but it can accommodate a settee, making it my favorite quiet place to escape in our home.

URBANIST REBRAND Written and Produced by

JENNIFER BRADLEY FRANKLIN

ATLANTA’S PREMIER DESTINATION for creatives and ﬁlm industry professionals to live and work has a new name. Formerly known as Pinewood Atlanta Studios, the 935-acre master development that includes one of the largest purpose-built studios in North America is now called Trilith Studios. “The name is strong and has a story behind it,” says Rob Parker, president of TRILITH DEVELOPMENT, of the architectural term used to describe a horizontal stone supported by two vertical ones (Stonehenge is the most famous). “The three pillars represent great storytelling supported by the latest in technology and purpose-built facilities. It feels authentic.” The new branding, developed over 18 months, was precipitated by an ownership change— from a partnership with the U.K.-based Pinewood Group to Atlanta-based River’s Rock. The new chapter represents new opportunities for Trilith Studios and growth for the state’s ﬁlm industry. The studios that began as rental facilities producing some of the world’s biggest blockbusters (such as Avengers: End Game, by Marvel) have expanded. “We’ve 24

NEW

made major moves to maintain the core work we do, and we’ve added content development,” says Parker. “We wanted to capture content streaming, television content and live audience, pieces that weren’t in the business model of our former partners.” The 235-acre town, now in Phase 2 of development, will welcome a host of new restaurants and retail stores in the spring, and in 2022 the community will be home to a 180-room boutique hotel. Though locales like Hollywood have neighborhoods tucked around studios, Trilith is the only centralized, studio-adjacent new urbanist town of its kind. While COVID-19 slowed some productions around the state, ﬁlming schedules are ramping up again, with Spider-Man 3 having started production in late 2020.

clockwise from top left European-inspired estate homes overlook Trilith’s Great Lawn. The resort-style pool at Solea was designed by architect Keith Summerour. Every Trilith home is adjacent to a walking trail or manicured park. Residents enjoy amenities such as the Micro Village’s community ﬁre pit. Artful installations such as the stone Mood Wall are placed throughout the Trilith development.

THE KIMPTON SYLVAN HOTEL

SPRING FEVER Written and Produced by JENNIFER BRADLEY FRANKLIN

CURB APPEAL Outdoor amenities continue to be a top selling point, a holdover from the pandemic keeping families at home. “Everyone wants a pool right now, at all different price points,” says Bradley. “Pool houses and guesthouses are nice to have because people want space for their family to visit.” Other outdoor spaces and activities like built-in firepits and sports courts also boost appeal. While finding space for those amenities is nice, having them on-site is better. “Pool companies have a backlog with waiting lists, and the permitting process can take awhile,” notes Bradley. DEMAND DRIVERS In addition to outdoor living spaces, homebuyers are looking for “flex” areas and gourmet kitchens. “People are still working from home and some kids are going to school virtually,” explains Bradley. “I think people will continue to need those spaces in the future.” She adds that kitchens, which are always a key selling point, have become even more important. “People are cooking at home even more, and they want those high-end appliances, nice finishes and big islands. Walk-in and butler’s pantries for storage are huge as well.” 26

INVENTORY FORECAST Atlanta’s real estate boom is driven, in part, by out-of-towners drawn by Georgia’s affordable cost of living and temperate climate. “We’ve had a 50 percent uptick in people relocating to Atlanta, year over year,” says Bradley. As of January, metro Atlanta had just 1.6 months of inventory (a balanced market is six months). While she doesn’t expect prices to dip anytime soon, buoyed by low interest rates, she expects the market to stabilize. “Sellers will try to get higher prices because of the low inventory levels, but buyers are pretty realistic about what they’ll pay for a house,” she says.

SALES PREP Contractors are in high demand. “People are at home more, so they’re noticing more of what needs to be done,” says Bradley. For would-be sellers, she recommends planning for twice as much lead time to get on a trusted vendor’s calendar. She encourages sales clients to plan for the standard fresh paint and maintenance, going heavy on landscaping upgrades and staging “ﬂex” spaces with desks to show versatility. TECH SAVVY Since the advent of online home searches, technology has played a key role in real estate marketing. Professional photography has been joined by video tours, virtual reality, detailed layout plans and more. COVID-19 has made some buyers more cautious, so it’s not uncommon for Bradley to give them a FaceTime tour ﬁrst and, if the property resonates, schedule in-person viewing. “I used to do that for out-oftown buyers, but now I do it for local buyers too.”

It’s certainly Atlanta’s peak real estate season, says Shanna Bradley, a real estate agent with Ansley Atlanta who notes that Atlantans consider their homes more marketable “when the ﬂowers are blooming and it’s green outside.” Here, Bradley weighs in on current market conditions.

BLADE BRILLIANCE

Knife-carved paper drawings by LUCHA RODRIGUEZ are a study in composition and light—and extraordinary patience

Artist Lucha Rodriguez is adept at carving paper with a tiny knife so that incised paper, watercolor, shifting shadows and light combine to reveal movement and depth in geometric forms. See more of Rodriguez’s work on Instagram, @luchapink, or on her website, love-lucha-now.org.

SOME PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED with shoes or cars, but Atlanta artist Lucha Rodriguez is obsessed with paper and light, and she creates masterpieces with her extraordinary attention to their interplay. “Understanding how the light interacts with a sheet of paper helps me create a sculptural form, and I’m always inspired by the process,” says Rodriguez. Armed with a master’s degree in Fine Printmaking from SCAD, Rodriguez began her studies with etchings and wood carvings, then moved into knife creations. There are many differences in paper arts—including the papers themselves. “Western papers bounce light while most Eastern papers retain light,” says Rodriguez. Rodriguez spends significant time planning each piece by carefully evaluating how water and warping will shape the paper and affect the cuts. Next she applies watercolor to the paper, and once dry, she begins the process of carving tiny incisions. The result is a highly textural, organic, fluid design that appears to connect multiple pieces of paper, but is actually one large sheet. Her work with plastic involves similar cutting expertise, but the material responds more boldly than paper and results in a different sort of sculpture. In a recent series, her carved plastic spirals swirled out from the sheet into one large circle. A native of Venezuela, Rodriguez builds bridges through art. While teaching an after-school program on a goat farm, she found it empowering to witness the children’s increased self-esteem as they learned to create. Today Rodriguez’s pieces can be found in museum collections including the High Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, and she’s participated in public art by creating a temporary sculpture on the Atlanta BeltLine. “Art has made an impact in my life. It’s made me more patient, given me clarity and it allows me to connect with people,” says Rodriguez. From her home studio where prisms and crystals refract the light, Rodriguez continues to find peace and inspiration for her extraordinary paper creations and sculptures.

ILLUSTRATION BY MEREDITH GILLESPIE

Naomi Von Habersham IF IT WASN’T FOR ATLANTA’S CLEMENT WEATHER, I don’t know how I would be faring during this pandemic. Our mild temperatures saved my sanity during the month of December, when I could continue to dine outdoors with friends while also supporting my neighborhood restaurants. And while my Northern friends were holed up indoors during January and February because of sleet and snow, which only seemed to aggravate their pandemic-related jitters, I was able to clear the cobwebs, so to speak, with almost daily afternoon walks in 50-plus-degree weather. But spending a lot of time outside is certainly nothing new in the South, where we’ve relied on the outdoors to cheer us up and provide a venue for al fresco dining since long before the pandemic began. All you need to do is look at our lavishly appointed patios, terraces, porches and decks to see that we Atlantans take our outdoor living seriously. Whereas our parents’ and grandparents’ generations were content with porch swings or outdoor rockers, today we have all kinds of modern outdoor conveniences, from fireplaces to fully furnished kitchens and radiant heating systems. But there are some long-forgotten outdoor trends from the past which I think deserve a revival, like architectural follies. With as much outdoor space as many are blessed with, why not build a delightful folly designed by one of our many talented architects? How about a small classical temple that serves as a bonus spot for outdoor entertaining? Or what about a bijou pool house disguised as a chinoiserie-style pagoda? Something else I think should be revisited is reaping the benefits of the sleeping porch or, perhaps more feasible, sleeping with your bedroom windows open in all but the hottest and coldest months. If you’re prone to respiratory problems, stop reading now. If not, you may find like I do that snoozing under a duvet amid the cool night air guarantees a good night’s sleep. In fact, mark that as yet another way the outdoors has helped get me through this crazy time.

FEATURING VERDANT VIEWS of Chastain Park, inventive sips and reimagined comfort food, The Chastain—headed by executive chef and operating partner Christopher Grossman—is a bustling café by day and a sophisticated New American restaurant by night. Located in the former Horseradish Grill space in what originally was a roadside country store in the 1930s, The Chastain brings the building into a new era. Led by ASH Ventures and Siegel Construction & Design, floor-to-ceiling windows bring the lush surroundings indoors, while wood and leather detailing lend feelings of a contemporary barn. Elements of the original building were salvaged and reused in the design, such as granite from the fireplace, which was repurposed to create the raised beds for the onsite garden. With produce grown and harvested year-round, guests receive only the freshest of ingredients. “I believe that great food doesn’t start in the kitchen, but in the soil, so it was important for the menu to be seasonally driven and to reflect our on-site garden,” says Grossman. Guests can expect an array of decadent dishes that reflect ethically grown and sustainable ingredients, from the selection of breakfast bites and pastries at the café to dishes such as the lobster agnolotti during dinner service, featuring butter-poached Maine lobster and vegetables picked from the garden. “The menu is designed to be a choose-yourown-adventure,” says Grossman. “I always want to let the ingredients speak for themselves.” thechastainatl.com

great event, your contribution does so much more—it supports the High Museum’s continuing mission to provide educational programs and various outreach efforts to local youth and to consistently deliver world-class art exhibitions that make Atlanta proud. As they work to manage the impacts of COVID-19, the High Museum needs your support now more than ever! The American Alliance of Museums reports that up to 33% of U.S. museums risk closing permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Atlanta, we are lucky that the High Museum works so hard to be sure they are ﬁscally responsible. In fact, the Museum has ﬁnished in the black for the past 27 years in a row. Becoming a Benefactor of the Museum’s single largest fundraising event will have a direct impact on operations, and help ensure that the High remains a leader in the art world and a beacon in the city of Atlanta.

JOIN US MARCH 18-20

Together in Spirit While we hoped to gather everyone together in the tents, the pandemic numbers are not in our favor. We have made the prudent and safe choice to make the Live Auction a virtual, live-streamed event. An exciting week with a combination of in-person and virtual events are in store! The ever-popular Winemaker Dinners will take place in homes across Atlanta. Our ladies will toast to the Museum with bubbles at their luncheon and our gents will gather to celebrate with hints of oak and cigar at their own event. On Saturday, we’ll enjoy a menu created by Chef Chris Hall before logging on to watch the Live Auction stream. Auctioneer, John Curley, will be leading the charge to gather online bids on wine, trips and more! Although we will miss having 1,000 friends together under the tents, the co-chairs and Auction staff are excited to bring the Wine Auction community Together in Spirit as we work to raise vital funds for the High Museum of Art. “True friends are always together in spirit.” L.M.

2021 SPECIAL GUESTS OF HONOR CHRIS HALL CHEF AND PARTNER OF UNSUKAY RESTAURANT GROUP: LOCAL THREE, MUSS & TURNER’S, ELEANOR’S, MTH PIZZA

Chris Hall’s story begins right around the corner from Local Three at the Pizza Hut on Collier Road, where he worked as a teenager. Somehow, the magic smell of pepperoni and yeast lured him in and 25+ years later he’s still at it. Either that, or he is just too dense to ﬁgure anything else out... so he threw some pizzas and moved up the proverbial ladder, eventually landing while in college at Philadelphia’s famed Lec Bec Fin, where he was begrudgingly taught to cook by an angry Frenchman and his minions. It was a kitchen ripe with talent (and he was too dumb to be scared), so he set off to learn and taught himself how to cook. Some folks, including a few dining critics, claim he never learned to cook, but undaunted, he still kept trying. Hall eventually headed home to Atlanta in search of bourbon and a Southern belle. He found both and is still in love with both to this day. He landed at Canoe on his return and cut his teeth with Gary Mennie, George McKerrow, Ron San Martin and the gang by the river. It was an amazing time at an incredible restaurant and the most formative of his cooking years, but he always knew he wanted his own place, and if nothing else, to cook what he wanted, however he wanted, whenever he wanted. So after meeting Turner and Muss, a fast friendship formed and they began talking about a partnership. It was a long winding road to eventually get there, but the seed for Local Three was planted. Years later, they opened Local Three to a swell of critical and guest acclaim and the rest, as they say, is history. Now you can ﬁnd Hall mentoring cooks and doing what he likes most: working on the creative aspects of Local Three, Warhorse Investments and Unsukay. His true passion these days is to help people in much the same way people helped him in his career. He loves to coach and mentor and is still entranced by the machinations of the restaurant business. Hall participates actively in a number of charities and is Vice Chairman of The Giving Kitchen. In 2015, Chris, Ryan and Todd were named Cornerstone Humanitarians by the National Restaurant Association’s Educational Foundation for their role in kickstarting The Giving Kitchen. In 2019, the Giving Kitchen was named Humanitarians of the Year by the James Beard Foundation. He out-kicked his coverage by a long way and has been married to his wife Julie since 2000. He is incredibly grateful for the staff, guests, and friends, old and new, who keep the company going.

DR. MADAIAH REVANA WINERY OWNER • REVANA WINERY, NAPA VALLEY • ALEXANA WINERY, WILAMETTE VALLEY • CORAZON DEL SOL, MENDOZA, ARGENTINA

Dr. Madaiah Revana’s compelling journey to become Vintner of the Revana Wine portfolio is as unique and inspiring as his estates in Napa, Oregon and Argentina. His journey began over 10,000 miles away in a rural farming village outside of Bangalore, India, where his family’s farming heritage spans over four generations and his keen agricultural instinct originates. A passion for medicine led Dr. Revana to graduate first in his class from India’s top medical college, Mysore Medical College & Research Institute, in 1972. Driven by his quest for knowledge, he ventured to the United States in the summer of 1973 where he continued his medical education with an internship at Coney Island Hospital (NY), residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (PA), and finished with his fellowship at Baylor University Medical Center (TX) in 1978. Upon completion of his education, he began his own practice in Humble, Texas, where today he continues his devotion to cardiology and community. Dr. Revana’s curious nature and exploring spirit eventually drew him back to his agricultural heritage. With the help of close friends introducing him to the First Growths of Bordeaux and the Grand Crus of Burgundy, he became fascinated with wine. His newfound appreciation of wine inspired him to travel the great vineyards of the world and he became committed to seeking out unique vineyard sites to produce exceptional wines that express a distinct personality true to the integrity of place. A lifelong pursuit of knowledge driven by curiosity and devotion to excellence, Dr. Revana’s accomplishments have been recognized with more than 45 years in the field of medicine and nearly 20 years in his fields of grapes in Napa, Oregon and Argentina.

HIGH MUSEUM OF ART HIGHLIGHTS BESTOWING BEAUTY: MASTERPIECES FROM PERSIAN LANDS Through April 18, 2021

Celebrating the rich artistic traditions of Persian civilization, Bestowing Beauty features objects from the 6th to the 19th century that range from magniﬁcent silk carpets and detailed ceramics to brilliant jeweled objects and hand-calligraphed Qur’an pages. The exhibition’s sections explore universal themes of humanity including faith and piety, love and longing, kingship and authority, banquets and battles and Earth and nature—highlighting the symbolism and craftsmanship present throughout Persian culture. The nearly 100 works in the exhibition come from one of the most signiﬁcant private collections of Persian art and are rarely displayed for public viewing.

DAVID DRISKELL: ICONS OF NATURE AND HISTORY February 6 – May 9, 2021

Co-organized by the High and Portland Museum of Art, Maine, Icons of Nature and History is the ﬁrst posthumous survey of David Driskell’s work, featuring nearly 60 of his vibrant paintings, prints and collages that layer observations of the American landscape with images and aesthetic innovations of the African diaspora. The exhibition celebrates Driskell’s enduring legacy and highlights the evolution of his practice over seven decades, demonstrating his inventive spirit and showcasing recurring motifs in his work such as still life, aspects of the natural world and iconographies drawn from his Southern roots and the Black experience.

UNDEREXPOSED: WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS FROM THE HIGH MUSEUM April 17 – August 21, 2021

Conceived in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, Underexposed charts photography’s 180-year history through the work of women photographers. Drawn from the High’s extensive collection, the exhibition’s more than 100 photographs reveal the contributions of pioneers of the medium and the paths they paved for present day innovators in the ﬁeld. Each section of the exhibition emphasizes distinct ﬁgures and accomplishments—from Margaret Bourke-White’s documentary look at life in Soviet Russia, to Zanele Muholi’s challenge of perceptions of race, sexuality and gender.

LANDSCAPE DESIGNER CARSON MCELHENEY experienced a rare opportunity when approached by clients who not only shared the same passions but also wanted to be deeply involved in the project. Both McElheney and his wife have a foothold in the equestrian world, as did his clients, and all have an affinity for history and the beauty of Virginia’s hunt country set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. “The clients and I looked at properties for a year and a half, and then we found this very private space with 4 acres in the heart of the city,” says McElheney. “We immediately realized that it was the perfect canvas to imprint with our vision.” The secluded nature of the property allowed no glimpse of the house from street level, but it was graced with a lovely D. Stanley Dixon-designed home of fieldstone, a material prominent throughout the Virginia countryside. But the landscape required a refresh. “We gutted down to the bare bones, only leaving the canopy of mature trees that grace the approach to the house and the original driveway and pool [designed by Graham Pittman],” says McElheney. In reimagining the landscape through a hunt country lens, McElheney left no detail unconsidered—all the fencing, ironwork, latches

and even the mailbox speak with a 17th-century Virginia accent. The handcrafted stone planters, fashioned with old materials, give them that much desired patina. And the plantings in the garden reflect an older century as well with an abundance of American boxwood, used to soften the motor court and other spaces, long-blooming ‘Setsugekka’ camellias, Lenten roses and ‘Annabelle’ hydrangea. “The gardens look wonderful throughout the seasons,” says McElheney. “It was very intentional that there would always be points of interest during every month of the year. For example, when the camellias are in bloom, they climb up the face of an espaliered fig vine and a millstone draws the eye to the plantings around it.” One of the most enjoyable aspects of the project for both McElheney and his clients was the creation of a generous cutting garden off the back of the house and a bountiful kitchen garden nearby. “Cutting gardens are not always a priority for some, but this couple engages in hands-on gardening, so we put great energy into making it special,” he says. The result contains many beauties such as peonies, larkspur, ‘Café au Lait’ dahlias, ‘Mystic Spires Blue’ salvia and ‘Cécile Brünner’ climbing roses. The kitchen garden’s bounty includes English herbs, tomatoes, shishito peppers and more. With a project so near and dear to McElheney’s heart, he is quick when disclosing his favorite aspects: “It’s the success and variety of the materials used and the phenomenal views from the inside looking out.” Views of another time and place perhaps, but firmly rooted in the here and now.

The mixed-media painting is by Paul Brigham through Anne Irwin Fine Art. right A framed piece of the dining room’s original mural honors the history of the house.

WHEN A COSMOPOLITAN couple based in New York City decided to return to their native Atlanta to raise their children, they likewise embraced the city’s history, acquiring a nearly 100-year-old Georgian Revival in Buckhead by famed architect Neel Reid. Seeking to put their own stamp on the home while honoring its heritage, the couple embarked on an extensive renovation with architect Jonathan LaCrosse and interior designer Heather Dewberry. “The home felt a little dark, so our goal was to lighten and brighten it throughout,” explains Dewberry. To that end, LaCrosse added French doors and new windows in key areas, flooding the interior with natural daylight. And Dewberry selected an ethereal palette that accentuates the original millwork while creating a serene backdrop for a lively mix of contemporary and antique furnishings. “[The wife] claimed to have ‘old-lady taste,’ which to us actually means being raised with great style,” says Dewberry. In the formal living room, for example, antique bouillotte side tables flank a plush sofa underneath a 17th-century American rococo mirror. 59

The ceiling light is by Kelly Wearstler from Circa Lighting.

Taking the design in a more contemporary direction, a linear shagreen bench with a tufted seat divides the space into two distinct seating areas “much like you’d see in a New York apartment,” says Dewberry. “We wanted to take their years in New York City and translate that experience into their new setting.” The mix can also be found in the first-floor mudroom of the newly created coach house, where a contemporary brass chandelier coexists easily with shiplap walls, colorful old oyster plates and an antique French bench. “Shiplap is very popular now, but it’s still traditional,” says LaCrosse. “I tried to get into the mind of the original architect.” LaCrosse divided the formerly raw space above the garage into an airy family room, a bedroom and a bunk room. “It’s more like a suite in a boutique hotel,” says Dewberry, noting the family also makes use of the space for children’s sleepovers and to watch sporting events. “This couple is witty, fun and they entertain often, truly using all of the rooms in the house.” Indeed, the owners are so thrilled with the outcome that they have asked both architect and interior designer to reunite for further renovations. “The design process was easy, they always chose our favorite options and we were on the same page,” explains Dewberry. “We all look forward to continuing to work together to bring this beauty even more into the 21st century.” See Resources, Back of Book.

A TEST OF TIME

FRANK NEELY and JESSICA BRADLEY renovate a 1920s Brookhaven home with a fresh perspective rooted in history and harmony Written by

EMILY FOLLOWILL

Color Theory Because the homeowners love to entertain, the front of the home—where the living room leads into the study—was kept more formal. opposite The study’s blue-green paint color, Farrow & Ball Card Room Green, was inspired by a similarly hued roman shade fabric. Built-in cabinetry cleverly conceals a cigar humidor and liquor cabinet.

Formal Invitation Just off the entry, the formal living room sets the tone for the rest of the house, featuring intriguing architecture detail, including a ceiling molding sourced from The Fischer & Jirouch Company and made from 100-yearold molds to create an authentic vintage effect. The pair of marble coffee tables are the homeowners’ family heirlooms. The artwork above the ﬁreplace was commissioned for the space from Atlanta artist Paige Kalena Follmann.

TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR busy family of five—and love of entertaining—the homeowners of this 1920s Brookhaven home knew a renovation was in order. But a refresh would be a delicate task, one where preserving the charm and integrity of their historic home was equally as important as meeting the functional requirements of a modern family. With this combination of function and charm in mind, the homeowners entrusted their family homestead with Atlanta architect Frank Neely, who tapped longtime industry partners Jessica Bradley of Jessica Bradley Interiors and Rogers King of Eumenean Construction to strike a balance of traditional and fresh. The first order of business: taking the house down to the studs, creating entirely new floor plans and building up three stories (plus a terrace level), which allowed the team to maintain the original, T-shape footprint of the home. “It’s a completely new house on an existing foundation,” says Neely. 71

Family Ties left In the formal living room, a fully restored mahogany baby grand piano with original ivory keys by Chickering & Sons was gifted to the wife by her grandmother. The chandelier is from Currey & Company and the sofa and chairs are Hickory Chair. above Architect Frank Neely and designer Jessica Bradley brought the 1920s Brookhaven home down to the studs and rebuilt it to accommodate a busy family of ﬁve, while maintaining its historic integrity in every detail.

Central Hub The multipurpose kitchen ticks all the boxes, from meal prep and family time to homework and entertaining guests. The pale blue backsplash was inspired by the homeowners’ love of blues and greens.

The key to making an all-new home look and feel centuries-old? The constant collaboration and painstaking attention to detail between architect and designer— Neely bringing in historic architectural motifs and Bradley mixing family heirlooms with modern pieces for a fresh take on classic design. “There’s always a dialogue with me and Jessica,” says Neely. “The client benefits so dramatically from that sort of synergy, rather than two teams doing their own thing.” This is especially evident in spaces like the formal living room (which Neely calls the “hallmark of the home”), where a ceiling molding—made from 100-year-old molds sourced from The Fischer & Jirouch Company—adds a sense of history, as do the fireplace and the mantel, which were salvaged from the original construction. To complement these architectural details, Bradley kept the color scheme soft, painting the ceiling with a neutral sheen and incorporating a strategically skeletal 75

Light + Bright A silk wallpaper by de Gournay through Ainsworth-Noah makes an impact in the dining room and serves as an anchoring color scheme for the rest of the home. “It was one of the ﬁrst things we looked at and with that being such an important room, I wanted it all to ﬂow,” says Bradley. The dining table is from the early 19th century and was sourced from Alain Michel Wholesale Antiques, a dealer in Brussels, Belgium, who the homeowners met when living there in the early 2000s. The chandelier is antique.

Currey & Company chandelier that enhances the details overhead. “This room is one of the first impressions you get when you walk into the home,” says Bradley. “We wanted the space to be formal, but also inviting.” While the homeowners wanted the front of the house to feel slightly more formal, “the back of the house needed to feel more family friendly and livable,” says Bradley. “We wanted the amenities of today with the feel of yesterday.” In the dining room, for instance, a showstopping silk wallpaper hand-painted by de Gournay serves as a timeless yet impactful focal point, appearing as if it had been there for decades. And the same could be said for the home itself. “The clients really appreciate the fine details that are so prevalent in the design,” says Bradley. “It really is the wife’s dream house, and it was a pleasure working with clients who love the process as much as I do.” See Resources, Back of Book. 77

Wide Open Spaces An open window between the great room and the kitchen makes entertaining easy. To create a serving area beneath, designer Cathy Rhodes chose a cabinet by Vanguard. “It’s the perfect height to pass appetizers and drinks from the bar on the other side [of the window],” she says.

Al Fresco Style “I chose a soft warm white (Benjamin Moore Titanium) to show off the beams, windows, paneling and ﬂoors,” says Rhodes, who wanted the architectural details to shine. A pair of dining areas, both inside and on a screened porch, each seats 10 people. “The adults can be on the porch while the kids are inside,” says Rhodes.

LOOK AT THE VIEW. That’s all interior designer Cathy Rhodes had to do when choosing the palette for this Cashiers, North Carolina, home. “The colors and textures echo the natural surroundings,” she says. Soft grays, creamy hues and wood finishes recall tree bark and the rocky outcropping the home sits on. Blues, light and dark, pull in the ever-changing range of tones of the Blue Ridge Mountains. “The whole draw to Cashiers is the beautiful mountain setting,” says Rhodes. Located on almost 6 acres in Pinchot, a master planned community, this Atlanta family’s home embraces vistas of a meadow, forests and, of course, the mountain range. Designed by architects Sarah Frances Herzog and Sam Edgens of Edgens Herzog Architects, the home offers a nearly seamless connection between indoors and out. “The house transitions beautifully from the exterior to the interior rooms, through the porches and to the property beyond,” says Herzog. Inspired by English Arts and Crafts precedents, the home integrates well with its mountain setting thanks to materials common to western North Carolina.

Rustic Touch Layers of subtle color and texture give the kitchen warmth. Base oak cabinets are stained soft gray to allow the wood grain to show through. Upper cabinets are painted Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray for a slight variation in ﬁnishes. Zinc strappings on the hood introduce another element while complementing the gray tones.

the outside. Inside, hand-scraped maple floors finished in a soft gray glaze, white pine beams stained dark and Tennessee fieldstone make the home feel like it grew out of the mountains themselves. “When you walk through the entry and into the great room with its 12-foot ceilings and stunning mountain view, you are immediately welcomed outside,” says Rhodes. Even with the plentiful views from indoor rooms, it’s the outdoor living space that the family enjoys most. The kitchen opens onto a covered loggia and screened porch with an outdoor dining table, fireplace and sitting area. “People come to the mountains to be outdoors. It’s lovely to have multiple places where family and friends can gather,” says Herzog. 90

Because the family spends most weekends here, the owners also asked for spaces that offered privacy for kids and adults alike. The architects tapped into transitional spaces to tuck in little getaways such as the game and puzzle nook, built-in daybed and window seat. Upstairs, the couple’s high schoolers can find escape in their bedrooms as well as a bunk room and game room for hanging out with their own guests. The master bedroom also offers plenty of respite. “This is the most secluded part of the house,” says Herzog. “It’s also at the point where the house sits highest above grade so we knew there was an opportunity to create large banks of windows. It’s peaceful, serene and has beautiful views.” See Resources, Back of Book.

END NOTE IN LOVE WITH...

Sun-kissed

As we ease into spring and temperatures start to rise, a yearning for sun-kissed colors serves as the perfect elixir to winter’s dreary days. Whether incorporated as a subtle accent (pretty passementerie, anyone?) or deployed in a high-wattage total immersion, there’s no doubt these saturated shades bring life, vitality and a certain joie de vivre to any room. –Clinton Smith
