WELCOME(on the cover)The living room of anew Morningsidehome designed byAmy D. Morris andBradley E. Heppner.Photographed by EricaGeorge Dines on April 26, 2010.
Fall is a time for fresh beginnings, and this issue show-cases new homes that were built from scratch. There’s justsomething special (yet hard to define) about a new house—it’skind of like when you buy a new automobile and get the bonusof that “new car” smell. It’s exciting, plain and simple.Although there are obvious interior and exterior differencesamong the three houses featured this month—one is contem-porary, another is classically inspired and the other melds rus-ticity with urban flair—certain similarities appear in each.For starters, comfort reigns supreme. Each home also excels inproper scale and proportion according to its style of architec-ture. With that, there’s no doubt that the guidance of talenteddesign professionals helped bring the homeowners’ dreams tofruition. But, most importantly, each home reflects the per-sonal tastes, passions and interests of those who live there. Andwhat more could one ask for?

BRENDA GALINA
When she’s not relaxing in her Charles Gandy-de-signed contemporary penthouse in Midtown’s ColonySquare, Brenda Galina, the executive director for theMuseum of Design Atlanta (MODA), is brainstormingways to bring the boutique design museum one stepcloser to greatness.
Her biggest coup to date: scoring a high-profile, street-front presence for MODA in Midtown, directly acrossfrom the High Museum of Art in the new Perkins + Willbuilding—after spending years under the radar inPeachtree Center’s Marriott Marquis Tower downtown.“The ‘big daddy’ may be across the street, but the Museumof Design has its own little niche…it’s small, it’s elegantand it’s perfect,” Galina says.
Pointing out to the public themerits of good design—whetherit’s architecture, interiors, fash-ion, industrial or product de-sign—comes as second nature tothe museum administrator, a na-tive New Yorker who hasamassed an enviable art collec-tion from prominent local, re-gional and international artisans,including Chad Awalt, IdaKohlmeyer and James Lahey. Infact, it’s her impeccable eye forsculpture, art glass and paintingthat’s allowed Galina to seeproduct design as not only beau-tiful but also museum- and dis-cussion-worthy. In fostering thatinterdisciplinary design dia-logue, she’s challenging and en-gaging the city’s future talent,
whether it’s students from Georgia Tech, SCAD and thePortfolio Center or organizations like The Young Archi-tects Forum. The goal is always the same: design appreci-ation. And Galina sees MODA as “the magnet pullingeveryone together.”
What’s most compelling, she says, is producing bou-tique-style exhibitions that look beyond the installationsto create a genuine experience that’s both tactile andthought-provoking. Case in point: the upcoming PassioneItaliana: Design of the Italian Motorcycle, an exhibition that willbe complemented by Italian fashion (think Versace), cin-ema and opera. Keeping the conversation fresh will bethe new museum’s storefront windows opening up to
Peachtree, which will boastconstantly changing, staged in-stallations similar to depart-ment store displays.
“Part of our mission is to ed-ucate the public on design andto make that dialogue availableto everyone,” Galina says.When something serendipitoushappens, like the museum’s de-sign-is-universal philosophyfinally making its debut on theMidtown arts corridor, one canonly determine that it hap-pened by design.
The Executive Director of the Museum of Design Atlanta is building the city’s next great institution

Jillian Pritchard Cooke is on a mission to makeeco-sensitive and elegant living spaces one in the same. Astar of the residential, commercial and hospitality designindustries, this interior designer—the owner and presi-dent of DES-SYN—is perhaps best known for her workon EcoManor, the personal home of Rutherford andLaura Turner Seydel and the first-ever LEED-certifiedresidence in the Southeast. With BEE, her new East An-drews Drive atelier and first retail venture, Cooke hasdreamed up an emporium of cool, calm, and intriguingoΩerings, from richly textured textiles and relics-turned-design objects to historically inspired glassware and a well-edited selection of international antiques. Cooke isadamant about not sacrificing great style for the sake of
being “green,” and has ensured that everything in her storeis good for the earth (reclaimed or eco-friendly), good foryour health (only low-impact dyes and low- or no-VOCpaints), and good for the community (BEE supports nofewer than seven charities with proceeds from its sales).Standouts include supple cork handbags from France, nat-ural upholstery by Inside Green and Atlanta-based LaRuche, a hexagonal dining table made of reclaimed woodand six varieties of local honey, but the art-enthused willbe equally amazed by an exclusive series of 250 large-for-mat photograpic prints by Maggie Hasbrouck that sell foras little as $450 apiece. 26 East Andrews Dr., Atlanta 30305.

A LEADER IN LEATHERAlready a go-to choice foran exceptional roster ofinternational design tal-ents, Moore & Giles is de-
veloping quite afollowing with At-lanta stylemakers,
who are applying its su-perb quality leathers to anumber of chic designprojects. Acclaimed styleblogger Jennifer Boles,a.k.a. the Peak of Chic, re-cently installed the ViennaOcean Blue leather in anailhead design on an in-terior door of her Buck-head condominium.Similarly, Raymond Goinsused the company’s luxuri-ous Kipling Canary Yellowfor a tufted door in the2010 Atlanta SymphonyAssociates Decorators’Show House. The Lynch-burg, Virginia-based com-pany, which was launchedin 1933, still operates with-out a physical showroom,so all trade inquires andorders must be placed di-rectly through a Moore &Giles rep. But the com-pany’s glamorous new lineof leather pillows—avail- able in small, medium and
Euro—can be purchaseddirectly through the site.$175-$480 each. (434) 846-5281;mooreandgilesinc.com

decade. Her new space, lo-cated just steps away frommany of the best restau-rants and shopping spotsin the city, is perhaps mostnotably Atlanta’s primarysource of paintings byTodd Murphy. Yet, Cartercontinues to build uponthis strong foundationwith many other notewor-thy contemporary talents,from John Folsom andTony Hernandez to KevinArcher and Sandra Milton.1170 Howell Mill Rd., Suite P-16, Atlanta 30318.

One of the world’s oldest cultivated fruitsand a close, albeit less hardy cousin to theapple, the pear has a sublimely gritty texture and juicy flesh that makes it equallygreat for cooking and munching straightoff the tree. Popular American varieties include the sweet and succulent Anjou, thecreamy Bartlett, the versatile Comice andthe earthy-sweet Bosc, but the more rareMoonglow and Starking Delicious aresome of Georgia’s most viable. Enjoy thehigh season of this delicious pome fruitthrough the end of October.

At the culmination of one of Georgia’s hottest summerson record, October invites us to finally get outside againand enjoy our outdoor spaces. That’s exactly why we’re sosmitten with the succeeding trio of architectural gems, allof which play up the beauty of their natural surroundings.For a modern Morningside dwelling with a Dutch Colo-nial spin, architect BRADLEY HEPPNER and interior de-signer AMY MORRIS installed an unadorned neutral schemeamid clean lines and loads of natural light. With the aid ofrustic touches and rooms that stretch almost impercepti-bly into the outdoors, they’ve established a sense of har-mony for a busy family of four. Designer BETH WEBB andarchitect PETER BLOCK took a similar tack at an Edwin Lu-tyens-inspired home in Buckhead, where tactile texturesand plentiful windows imbue constant continuity with theexterior. And in the case of a second home along LakeOconee, designer GRETCHEN EDWARDS and HARRISONDESIGN ASSOCIATES brought the essence of the lush lake-side scenery in, incorporating earthy materials and creat-ing comfortable seating groups to give its homeowners theultimate relaxing retreat.

“The Hartleys are of the form and function mindset,” says designer Amy Morris. “Ourgoal was to keep everything simple. The whole point of the house was not to haveroom that was not used.” The living room, which doubles as a family room, is a fittingexample of this conceit. Sleek but comfortable furnishings were incorporated intothe space and fun, cowhide-covered “X” benches instantly lighten up the look andadd modern appeal. A vivid citron canvas by Sidney Guberman brings the wholescheme to life. opposite “The stairwell was Brad’s genius,” adds Morris. Fronted bya massive steel window matching that on the opposite wall, it forms the sculpturalcenterpiece of the room and provides a much cleaner look than a traditionalmillwork staircase would have.

Since it’s used for everything from morning meals tolively evening gatherings, the dining room needed tobe both inviting and versatile. A mix of seating stylesplays to this function, while walls of windows let inlight and allow the family to take in the lush outdoorviews from every vantage point. Reclaimed woodceiling beams and a fireplace contribute tremendouswarmth while a four-foot table extension makes roomfor larger, more formal occasions.

the posterior, Heppner was able to integrate light in a way that feelsmodern and clean while combining both aesthetics seamlessly.
For the interior design, Heppner brought Amy Morris on boardearly, 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 blend-ing a sense of tradition with a modern aesthetic,” he explains. “Evenher traditional homes have a very modern feel to them. I knew shewould fit well with what we were trying to do with this house.”
Mia—who prefers to dress in basic shades of black, white andtaupe—wanted much the same color scheme for her home. Her re-quest was to create a super-functional modern house in black andwhite, one with as little ornamentation as possible: simple lines, norugs, no window treatments, if possible, and above all, no fluΩ. “Idon’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 prac-tical, pragmatic use.”
This absence of excess presented a design challenge for the inte-riors, but not one that Morris wasn’t eager to surmount. To expandupon the neutral scheme yet keep the look simple, she used the home-owners’ favorite contemporary art by Martin Dawe as well as a vivid
mMorningside dwellers Mia and John Hartley called uponarchitect Bradley Heppner to design the modern home of theirdreams 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 theflock for its unique combination of architectural references.
While its façade maintains a traditional silhouette, the modernconcrete structure is freshened by a coat of pure white plaster andsteep gables, reminiscent of Dutch colonial buildings found in theWest Indies and influenced by the modern agrarian architecture ofAustralia’s Glenn Murcutt. By connecting the traditional front por-tions of the residence with more modern, barrel-shaped elements on

A high clerestory ceiling allows light to radiate throughout this homeykitchen. “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 thinkthat the architectural curves make this room feel warm andcomfortable.” To keep things durable and easy to clean, Morrisselected practical quartz countertops and used tight grout jointsbetween tiles, while energy-efficient appliances improve day-to-dayfunctionality. Acres of storage were also built into the custom walnutcabinetry which, set against several light-colored surfaces, creates asuper-graphic look. For a finishing touch, iridescent ceramic tiles thatMorris sourced tirelessly for this project have a look as luminous asmother of pearl. opposite Designer Amy Morris

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,” Morrisexplains. “These serve to anchor the room and keep this gathering spot from feeling likeit is floating.” opposite The architecture was equally well-conceived, and maintains harmonywith the interiors, too. “It was about indulging Mia’s desire to have very modern forms whiletying that into the traditional fabric of the neighborhood,” notes Heppner. “The lines in andoutside the house reference each other constantly,” Morris adds.

yellow canvas by Sidney Guberman. Adding to a foundation of theclient’s contemporary furnishings, Morris incorporated many pieceswith a feminine touch, such as gracefully sloping Donghia armchairsand an open-back Holly Hunt banquette. A few custom pieces fromAmy D. Morris Interiors—including a bed, dining table and bedsidetables—anchor the mix with strong, masculine shapes while the sim-plest of window treatments contributes softness.
To keep the rooms light, bright and minimalistic, nine-inch whiteoak planks were used on all the floors while similar nine-inch tim-bers appear on the home’s crowning element—a staircase that’s morea sculptural art piece than a utilitarian fixture. To frame it, Heppnerinstalled a steel window just like the one on the opposite wall, an art-ful addition that also eliminated the need for an additional hand rail-ing. Even more remarkably, he devised a “trap door” to the basementbelow; concealed unassumingly within the floor, it can be lifted via apulley to reveal the stairway to the cellar below.
Mia also had clear directives for the dining area. “In our previoushouse, we had a formal dining room and a formal living room that werenever used,” she explains. “I wanted a space that we used every day to bevery inviting.” Because it triples as a breakfast area, dining room andfamily meeting place, a mix of seating styles was needed to keep the spacefrom feeling too rigid. Happily, a custom table with a four-foot exten-sion makes room for extended gatherings and more formal occasions.
This room is also unique for the manner in which its low ceilingsand reclaimed wood beams impart a sense of intimacy. “Modern, tome, 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 cleanbut it has warmth.”
Radius corners lend a similar, cocoon-like eΩect elsewhere in thehome. Their soft curves, along with barrel-shaped elements through-out the house, bounce light around to such a degree that artificiallighting is not needed until sundown, Heppner explains. To that end,the home has no ceiling fixtures; instead, recessed lighting was used
50
The flattened roofline of the dining room extends to an inviting coveredterrace, lending visual continuity to this very private outdoor space. Justbeyond, the modular elements of the pool terrace and surround reflect thehandiwork of Heppner in concert with landscape architect John Howard,who gave the homeowners smart and sustainable landscaping to matchtheir modern aesthetic.

almost exclusively with the exception of the kitchen, where task light-ing was needed. The natural hub of the house, this room was ren-dered highly functional thanks to roomy ebonized walnut cabinetryand a clerestory ceiling to let light in where it’s needed most.
The upstairs was devoted to the girls, who get their own sleepingquarters as well as communal spaces to hang out, study and work onschool projects. Outdoors, Heppner worked with landscape architectJohn Howard to create a level playing field for the courtyard andmodular pool elements. Located just oΩ a pool terrace that extends vi-sually from the flat-ceilinged dining room, it is accessible by severaldoors that open wide, essentially blurring the lines between indoorsand out. Walls of windows also play to this theme by letting in lots ofnatural 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 itlives. “When you walk through the house, it feels so right. The scaleis so right. Every room has a purpose,” Morris says.
“Everything in the house works just perfectly for us. I tell Brad allthe time that I’m amazed every day by how well it suits us,” echoesMia. “I love looking at it and I love living in it. There’s nothing I wishI had done diΩerently or would want to change.”
It is that sort of reception, as every design team knows, that is theultimate mark of success. SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.

In order to eliminate the impression of a basementstairway, Heppner developed a concealed doorwithin the floor that can be lifted via a pulleysystem. “It’s counterweighted. The way we have itbalanced, it’s very simple,” he explains. “You lift itthe way you would lift the hatch of an old root cellarin the Northeast.” opposite Upstairs, the two girlshave their own bedrooms and share a jack-and-jillbathroom, as well as a TV room and an illuminatedproject area at which to do homework.

opposite and right Pared-down comforts reign in the master bedroom. “Very earlyon, 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], Iknew we would have to use them. I think they work because they were so simplydone; 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 restof the space. bottom In the powder room, the simple shape of a concrete bowlsink by Dex Studios is mimicked in that of an inexpensive IKEA mirror. “I’m allabout mixing high and low,” Morris explains.

∏here are a lot of new houses in Atlanta that are built to lookold, but there are few that actually exude an air of permanence and asense 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 createthe English-style, Edwin Lutyens-inspired home which replaced aforlorn 1950s ranch that previously occupied the grounds. DesignerBeth Webb, architect Peter Block, builders Shaba Derazi and JimMeathe of Y.M. Derazi Custom Homes and landscape architect JohnHoward were the Martins’ collaborators of choice in creating a new“old” house—one filled with energy and life, and well-suited for amodern family. Much of the home’s energy and life, in fact, comesfrom the natural light that floods the residence throughout the day.
“All of the major rooms of the house have windows on at least twosides, if not three,” says Block. “When you look out from almost anyarea, you see some exterior portion of the house. There is a sense ofprivacy but also a sense of connectedness and openness to the out-doors.” For example, the motor court is cut into the land and, whenthe great room’s three sets of French doors are opened wide, the out-door area becomes another “room” for entertaining. On the otherside of the same space, a loggia—complete with an outdoor kitchen,
living and dining areas, as well as a TV and fireplace—also blurs theline between indoors and out.
That sort of modern-day flexibility was something that Webb max-imized to its fullest advantage. “This is a family whose priorities arestraight,” she says. “Designing this house wasn’t about show or fluΩ. Itwas 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 fabricselections for the custom upholstery and window treatments.
“Texture is so important,” she says. “It makes things warm in anotherwise virtual taupe landscape. To give a monochromatic roomlife, you infuse it with texture.” Beyond the color and texture selec-tions, the entire backdrop of the home’s interiors is restrained.
“Simplicity was the Martins’ mantra,” Webb adds. From thelime-washed oak floors and the plaster walls to the exacting execu-tion of the architectural detailing, the sum of the parts create awhole of timelessness.
“It’s all about living in emotion,” says Block. “It’s about creatinghouses that have soul, living in houses that have a life to them. That’swhat it’s all about.” SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK.

PEACEFUL PALETTEclockwise 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 frontof the home, the property takes on the characteristics of a residential compound.

“The complexity of the materials and the amount of detail in the househas made this home one of my most
exciting projects to date.” -GRETCHEN EDWARDS
A style spectrum would place rustic and contemporary at polarends, but this visionary jewel of a home—nestled on a hillside of pic-turesque Lake Oconee—proves opposites do attract. Harrison DesignAssociates and interior designer Gretchen Edwards defied conven-tion by fusing elements of these two contradictory aesthetics into onemasterful retreat.
“The exterior is all about the natural form; the traditional applica-tions of stone and cedar, and how they blend into and become part ofthe land,” explains project manager Steve Markey of Harrison DesignAssociates. “The interiors, however, are a refreshing counterpoint withsleek and more sophisticated uses of natural materials.”
Indeed, Edwards complements the clean, modern lines of the in-door spaces with a stunning array of warm woods and textures. Wal-nut, 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 thanin the well-appointed powder room. The custom vanity consists of alimestone top and zinc-wrapped doors while the ceiling and mirrorare made of cypress wood. Rounding out the eclectic mix are two col-ors of linen wallpaper and thin glass tile adorning the walls.
Though a neutral color palette acts as a common thread, uniqueelements in each room gives every space a distinct look and charm.While planks of alder wood on the walls of the main level master bed-room help create a strong, yet serene contrast of cream and chocolatebrown, a metallic grasscloth wallcovering adds pizazz to an adjacentvestibule. But most remarkable are the walls of a terrace level bed-room which were made entirely of Jerusalem stone.
“Stone was used everywhere, from the floors to the walls to thebaths. The tile installer had three crews working at the same time, butit took months to complete,” remembers Edwards. “The complexity ofthe materials and the amount of detail in the house has made thishome one of my most exciting projects to date. It’s also been one of themost challenging because it wasn’t just putting up sheetrock and se-lecting paint colors.”
Never once does the intricacy of the home becoming overwhelm-ing, though. After all, it was built for entertaining. “The homeownersrarely go by themselves,” shares the designer. “They always host sev-eral families.” To that end, engaging seating layouts throughout thecommunal spaces encourage conversation while a custom, oversizetable in the dining room not only accommodates multiple guests butalso a delicious array of dishes that showcases the owners’ love ofcooking. Furthermore, heat lamps and retractable screens were in-stalled on the spacious covered porch to make this second home trulya retreat for all seasons.
With nearly every room of the home boasting views of the lake, itwould be impossible not to return time and time again. “It’s breath-taking; 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 theomnipresent white marble with dark wood paneling on thetub. Also, giving the dominantly contemporary space somerustic charm are a metal chandelier and artwork of driedfoliage, preserved in glass, from The Mercantile. oppositeContinuing the theme into the master bedroom, Edwardsworked with varying shades of browns.

DRESSING YOUR AGE IS ONE THING, BUT DECORAT-ING WITHIN YOUR PEER GROUP IS ANOTHER. HERE’SMY HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE LIST OF DOS AND DON’TS.
Throw out all the dorm room junk andthis includes all posters; your new col-leagues 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. Aerobeds are not an option. •Try to buy some real art from yourfriends; they will soon have to get paying jobs. •Your bath-room deserves some TLC; buy decent towels and sundriesat Walmart. Yes, Walmart. • When in doubt, buy a bunchof cheap palm trees and go for a jungle motif.
That aforementioned real sofa needs tobe cleaned or slipcovered. Why did youbuy a dog when you are still eating Grape
Nuts for dinner? • Get yourself a rug—a nice one. Lookon 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 andaccent pieces to create a design statement. • Now go backon eBay and Craig’s List and get that bedroom on track.You can get a 1950s or ‘60s bedroom suite (I know, theword “suite” sets our collective teeth a-clenching) andpaint it all a glossy, fun color. Look for bedding to matchat Bed, Bath & Beyond or Anthropologie. Get in youroverpriced car and drive. • Try watering your plants; yourhome is like the Mojave Desert. While you are at it, addsome architectural touches—moulding and maybe wain-scoting—if you have made the leap to being a home-owner. • If you have started a family, do not go overboardon fancy baby furniture. Remember, these infants willsoon be obnoxious teens so plan accordingly. A Mosesbasket, however, is not suitable for a 5-year-old.
Remember those people you spent waytoo much time with as a child? Yep, that’sthem. Parents. They should be downsiz-
ing about now, so grab any antiques they have before theyfind a place for them in their new condo. • While you areover there getting furniture, lay your hands on some chinaand silver. You foolishly registered for wedding gifts atCrate & Barrel so you need silver. • Time to renovate. Theeconomy is in crisis and there are former Vanderbilt phi-losophy professors who can talk about existentialism anddo a decent job on granite counters. While renovating,avoid anything trendy; you will have to sell this house ifthose kids don’t smarten up and get some scholarshipmoney. Go for white baths and neutral kitchens. You maylove that glittery mosaic tile but your buyer will not. • Arethose children still lurking about? Get them motivated topaint their rooms and give them a small allowance forframes, bedding and side tables. We want them to stayhome, away from the evil influence of their peers. Giventheir splashy new digs, their friends will hang out at yourhouse but don’t worry, you can handle a teen with a day-old tongue piercing.
