WELCOME

The past few months have been

busy around here. The magazine produced and sponsored a number of designer showhouses, collaborated on a kitchen that was built in Phipps Plaza (see page 36) and moved into new, larger offices. Everything but the move was fun, yet we’re slowly settling into our new spaces. There’s something about starting with a blank slate that inspires—or forces—you to get organized and prioritize what’s important. Should I save or recycle? Donate or discard? I can relate to the winners of our bath of the year contest (starting on page 11), who went through similar experiences, whether they built from scratch or remodeled an existing space. Wherever you’re reading this issue, I hope it finds you settled, not surrounded by boxes waiting to be unpacked. I’m thinking that the rest of mine can wait until autumn.

Modern Marvel A sleek, spa-like bath is packed with ingenuity and visual panache Equal parts function and imagination, this master bath by architect Scott West blurs the lines between outdoors and in, accomplished by letting walls of Ipe wood and slate extend from the bath to the home’s exterior. Taking inspiration from his client’s experiences at high-end hotels, West dreamed up a concept reminiscent of three-dimensional art. “The design approach was more that each wall, plane and element in the architectural composition be treated as an object floating in 3-D space,” says West. “The interstitial spaces become the windows, as opposed to the more obvious design approach of creating a standard room ‘box’ to which the windows are simply applied and interior elements placed within.” West was so committed to his vision, in fact, that when the tight budget meant the Ipe wood was going to be replaced with a less-expensive substitute, the architect offered to install bands of the South American wood himself so as not to go over budget.

BARBARA WESTBROOK

Serene Sanctuary

A twist on classic design elements delivers an elegant escape of a bygone era Although simplicity takes center stage in this beautifully designed master bath by Barbara Westbrook, the designer creates plenty of intrigue. Subtle variations in scale—from the petite floor tile to the oversized limestone baseboards to the tall marble surrounds—give the minimalistic space an understated allure. Other posh details include custom iron doors and windows that reflect the home’s charming Early American exterior, as does the pewter-like fi nish on the plumbing fi xtures. “The house has a very timeless feel and it was important to create that same look in here while also being very fresh,” Westbrook says. A crisp black-and-white color palette is at once classic and modern, while a luxurious soaking tub from Waterworks, presiding in one corner of the octagonal floor plan, harkens to a simpler time by giving the homeowners a place to pause and take in the breathtaking view of the property’s pool and gardens. 16

Fresh Appeal Smart solutions add modern flair to a historic home’s aging bath When the homeowners of a historic 1920s Neil Reed-designed home approached Mark Williams Design Associates for a master bath renovation, the cabinets were literally at their breaking point. In much need of repair and aesthetic attention, Mark Williams fi rst tackled the issue of space—or lack thereof. “It’s an unusual, long and narrow space by today’s standards, but was probably considered a really ample master bath during its original era,” he explains. To maximize the perception of space, a custom vanity with exposed nickel plumbing was designed to increase the visible floor area. Also adding some dimension, and providing a solution to the lack of vanity storage, are mirrorclad recessed medicine cabinets against a backsplash of polished stainless steel with a mirror fi nish. To both divide and soften the space, two custom drapery rods were mounted to the ceiling; one defi nes the bathing area and supports the shower curtain while the second cleverly conceals the commode. 20

nice touch because it can help soften the hard surfaces in the space. But the room’s standout element is the marble’s strong movement.” –TIM ODOM, BATH CONTEST JUDGE 21

BEFORE

Light & Bright An awkward and outdated bath is reimagined with modern charm The homeowners of a dated ranch home asked Terracotta Properties for a little magic when it came to the renovation of their pint-sized master bath. “The fi rst thing we needed to do was re-orient the location of things because it was unsightly to walk in the door and immediately see the commode,” recalls Ili Nilsson of her fi rm’s design approach. Space from an adjacent closet was absorbed to relocate the commode, which effectively provided the space for a dual vanity from IKEA. Next came cosmetic relief. A backdrop of floorto-ceiling smoky-gray glass tile provides visual drama and the perception of depth, while clean-lined, light-reflecting materials—such as Venatino marble on the floor and shower walls—create the illusion of an open and airy bath, despite the room’s small footprint. Carrying out the unfussy aesthetic are frameless mirrors, minimal chrome accessories and a clear globe pendant. 24

DURING THE MONTH OF MAY, the Center Court at Phipps Plaza was home to the 2012 Dream Kitchen, sponsored by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. Designed and built by Inspirations Kitchen & Bath Studio, with interior design by John Fernandez and Jennifer True, the space was a living laboratory for showcasing the latest design trends for today’s lifestyles. For this ephemeral space—the third one built at the mall in as many years—the design teams chose rich textures, lively patterns and sleek fixtures and hardware. Four unique materials, including two Cambria solid 38

ATLANTAHOMESMAG.COM

surfaces, ceramic tile and walnut, were used for the countertop, dining table and backsplashes. Coupled with cork flooring, stateof-the art storage and Thermador appliances, even upholstered seating, the bold mix of materials provided a warmth and intimacy to the large-scale space. Counter- and table-height seating showcased the room’s versatility in accomodating two or twenty. This year’s kitchen at Phipps Plaza was built over the course of two nights in May while the mall was closed. To see a two-minute time-lapse video that captures the 14 hours of construction, go to atlantahomesmag.com/2012kitchen.


The kitchen cabinetry was desgined by Michael Bell and Paul Castell of INSPIRATIONS KITCHEN & BATH STUDIO, and was a collaboration with FERNANDEZ & TRUE INTERIORS. All of the appliances are by THERMADOR. The cork ooring and patterned tiles used as a backsplash are from TRADITIONS IN TILE. The cabinet hardware, undercounter lighting and innercabinet accessories are by RICHELIEU. An aerial view of the kitchen, at right, reveals the scale of the space. opposite, clockwise from top left The CAMBRIA countertop features a unique edge detail; the material was fabricated by CONSTRUCTION RESOURCES, INC. A different pattern of the natural quartz surface was used as a backsplash above the range. A nifty storage garage conceals large counter appliances. The faucet and plumbing are by ELKAY. Built-in glass shelving holds colorful glassware. A carved detail on the range hood surround echoes the tile pattern found in the backsplash. 39

LIFE (notebook)

Naomi von Habersham AROUND TOWN WITH

ILLUSTRATION BY ABBI WILLIAMS

I recently read an article in which a famous sushi chef talked about the super-duper Toto toilets that he had chosen for his new Vegas restaurant. The reason these particular toilets were selected, he said, was because they had heated seats. Apparently, Sushi Chef hates to sit on a cold toilet seat. I suppose that I don’t like cold seats either, but I’ve never given it much thought. I’m just happy to have a toilet. Back in my mama’s early days, she had to use an outhouse, one with a crescent moon cutout in the door. By the time I was growing up in Montezuma, Georgia, indoor plumbing had long since arrived, but on visits to a cousin’s old homestead, yours truly recalls having to use a Sears Roebuck catalog for toilet paper on more than one occasion. I don’t understand restaurants and hotels that brag about their fancy toilet seats in their public bathrooms, even mentioning them in their marketing materials. Whatever happened to the unspoken rule that one never sits on a toilet seat in a public bathroom? Remember what your mother told you? Something else that I absolutely cannot abide is coed public bathrooms. There should be a law against them! I’ll never forget the time I was using a public loo in England, only to see hairy ankles peeking out from the stall next to mine. I just assumed that they belonged to a big, burly woman from some Eastern Bloc country, but lo and behold, it was a big, burly man who walked out! I had a different scare in another bathroom, this time at my favorite Atlanta fondue restaurant. I went to the ladies room and upon walking into the stall, I saw a pirate with his face pressed up against a window spying on me! At first, I thought I was seeing things—thanks to the three Harvey Wallbangers I had consumed—but then I realized that the Peeping Tom pirate was actually just a large photograph, albeit a realistic one! I’m warming up to the idea of those heated toilet seats, though. Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Montezuma anymore!

A YOUNG COLLECTOR TRANSFORMS A WHITE-BOX INTERIOR INTO A SPACE THAT’S RICH IN CHARM AND CHARACTER

Written by Heather J. Paper

ATLANTAHOMESMAG.COM

Photographed by Sarah Dorio

Produced by Susan Uedelhofen


Adding a rich pop of color to the living area is an antique map that homeowner George Krauth had been holding onto for ages, but never had just the right spot for. To double the drama, he ordered a shade for the nearby floor lamp in the exact same turquoise color. opposite Upon moving into his new residence, Krauth did little more in the kitchen than to replace the appliances, hardware and countertops, and add a backsplash of glazed brick from Waterworks. A once-nondescript storage piece was given a coat of automobile primer and topped with cut-to-fit marble, transforming it into a handsome—and handy—bar.

57


As

THE CREATIVE MANAGER for Jamestown Properties, George Krauth oversees aesthetics and branding for commercial real estate nationwide which, locally, includes Ponce City Market and White Provision. But that fi ne eye for aesthetics serves him well personally, too, attested by his parttime home in MidCity Lofts. “I’d looked at MidCity 10 years ago after graduating from Georgia Tech,” he recalls. “The design of the building always resonated with me; it was so unlike anything built in this city before. So I jumped at the opportunity when I needed a part-time home in Atlanta.” Krauth, who has traditionally owned older homes, found the opportunity to live in something relatively new exciting. Specifically, he liked that the modern loft featured vast expanses of glass and epoxied concrete floors, but not the clichéd exposed ductwork. The fi rst order of business was to paint the backdrop white—the walls, the ceiling, everything. But fi nding the right white “took forever,” he admits. “I’d paint one wall what I thought was the perfect shade, but it was a cloudy day. Once the sun came out, I realized I needed something different—and so on.” The trial-and-error method paid off, though, resulting in a light space that beautifully showcases his mix of old and new possessions. “I like the mix of elegance and comfort with a modern palette,” he says, pointing out an English roll-arm sofa as an example. “I think you can have a contemporary space but have a classic sofa to curl up in; it all works as long you choose items throughout that are similar in texture and scale.” One sweeping glance of this residence makes it clear that the homeowner is a masterful collector. But he modestly deflects the compliment, giving credit instead to his upbringing. “My mother was a writer and an artist, and her mother was a master gardener,” he says. “I think all that creativity had an impact on me.”

A custom table top made of reclaimed heart pine is supported by hairpin legs, creating a multi-purpose server/ desk/dining area. Old library chairs made of walnut were spray-coated white, giving them a fresh lease on life. opposite, clockwise from top left Found in a Chattanooga salvage store, this wooden bench—securely attached to the wall—is equally adept at providing seating or storage. Plus, its peeling paint echoes the predominant blue hue of the nearby portrait of George Washington from Hatch Show Print (appropriate since this homeowner and the first president share the same name). Because Krauth is a big fan of letterpress, this antique type from Scotland was the perfect gift from his sister. The very first thing moved into the condominium was a treasured family heirloom; Krauth keeps many of his favorite things tucked inside this 200-year-old chestnut cabinet. 59


HOMEOWNER GEORGE KRAUTH EFFORTLESSLY MIXES VINTAGE FINDS WITH CONTEMPORARY FURNISHINGS

From those family members, and others, he’s inherited some meaningful pieces over the years, and relishes grouping those with new fi nds. “I typically try to avoid a lot of clutter, so I keep many of my favorite things tucked inside an heirloom, 200-year-old chestnut cabinet,” he adds. “Besides the sentimental nature, it is very practical.” Still, it’s the storied pasts of many an item—be it a newly found piece or a family heirloom—that give this MidCity condo its heart. In the dining area, for instance, a vintage globe was found on eBay, but Krauth drove to Ohio to pick it up rather than take the chance that it wouldn’t arrive in pristine condition. And next to it, a blownup image of a handwritten letter is by no means random; Krauth found the original letter in a dresser that he inherited from his grandfather. “It was addressed in 1917 by my great-grandmother to her uncle, who just happens to be my namesake,” he explains. Krauth seems to fi nd creative inspiration at every turn; one can only wonder what he’ll be inspired by next. SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK. In the bedroom, a modern version of a wingback chair is decked out in white cotton twill with a custom brown mohair seat cushion. An eight-drawer chest from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams also serves as a console while anchoring a group of artworks by Brooklyn’s Richard Haines. “I first saw Richard Haines’ drawing in The New York Times,” Krauth recalls. “I reached out to him about purchasing a sketch, and he invited me out to his studio in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. I took a friend with me and we sifted through hundreds over a couple of hours—and I left with seven!” opposite By building a 1x6 tongue-and-groove headboard right into the space, Krauth was able to accommodate a California king-size bed. The mobile is from ABC Carpet & Home in New York. 60

A

ALL TOO OFTEN, a project gets caught in the crosshairs between architecture and design. But for West and Katie Johnson’s modern take on an Amish-style cabin in the rolling hills of north Georgia, the collaboration of the two came together flawlessly to form the dream project for all those on board. With the architecture by William H. Harrison of Harrison Design Associates and interior design by Barbara Howard of Marshall Howard Interior Design, the second home operates under the concept of what Harrison describes as “refi ned rustic.” “It’s using natural and honest materials throughout the project, but put together in a very light and modern aesthetic,” the Atlanta architect says of the project. “We started with the concept of these

two log buildings connected by a central space—a generational concept with a put-together feel.” Those natural materials—such as the 12-inch thick, hand-hewn, native white pine logs found throughout the home—form the shining backdrop to the understated elegance of Howard’s signature interior design. “What I love most is that it’s a beautiful space on its own,” says the designer. The home’s façade blends into the surrounding countryside. A 24-foot-tall window allows morning sunlight to flood the living room. opposite With hand-hewn logs enveloping the space, the living room features a “less-is-more” approach with the furnishings. Sculptural upholstery and lighting, and textural rattan chairs, complete the room. The chandelier is by Artemide. 65


66


“THE HOUSE JUST FEELS LIKE IT BELONGS THERE—LIKE IT IS PART OF THE LAND AND THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YEARS.” —ARCHITECT WILLIAM H. HARRISON

“The concept was to create a lowered ceiling above kitchen to keep it from being too volumetric,” Harrison says of the decision to add the landing above the cooking space. “It makes the kitchen more intimate, but allows for a more sculptural space that continues up the staircase into the secondstory area.” Floating beside the staircase in the adjacent breakfast area is a dazzling Alison Berger fixture from Holly Hunt. Howard chose to combine glass, stainless steel, stone, iron and suede in the area to balance the wood walls and floors. Chairs are by Donghia; range is by Viking.

67


NATURAL MATERIALS, SUCH AS THE TWELVE-INCH THICK NATIVE WHITE PINE LOGS, FORM THE ELEGANT BACKDROP TO THE HOME’S UNDERSTATED INTERIORS The homeowners, personal friends of Harrison and his wife, bought into an idyllic conservancy located in Batesville with the idea of a safe house open to the surrounding countryside. “They wanted to feel safe and secure from the wilderness when they were in the home’s private spaces, but they wanted the main living space to be transparent to the environment,” Harrison says. “There was a lot of care and effort put into respecting the natural beauty of the property and transferring that into the natural materials of the home that are indigenous to that area.” The main challenge each member of the team faced was balancing the scale of the home with the comfortable lifestyle the homeowners were looking to achieve. “They have a fairly traditional home here in Atlanta, and were ready for cleaner lines and an easier style of living,” Howard says. 68

ATLANTAHOMESMAG.COM

Harrison adds, “The cabin comes off as warm, cozy and comfortable, but the scale in the main space is pretty large. Mixing a lot of different elements in a manner that works proportionally with the scale was a challenge, keeping it an exciting, open and volumetric space.” In each room of the design, Howard says the entire team was on the same page. One of the more important elements throughout the space, the subtle fi nish on the walls, was perhaps the most difficult to get right. “The artisans that were on the project all cared about it equally,” she notes. “There were so many hours spent getting everything just right.” SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK. With elegant fixtures and an expansive walk-in shower, the master bath proves that ‘rustic’ and ‘refined’ aren’t mutually exclusive. opposite With a wall that stops short of the vaulted ceiling, the master bedroom evokes a space that appears to have been added on to over the years.


69


Thanks to a generously sized South of Market farm table and a pair of mid-century cabinets, the dining room is transformed from office space to dinner for eight in the blink of an eye. Iron chairs with brass pineapple finials and rattan armchairs from PierceMartin complete the relaxed, elegant look. Laslie found the turquoise vase on a sale rack on Bennett Street and immediately took it to Lamp Arts to have it wired as a lamp. Mirror is from Interiors Market. opposite The living room is a perfect example of Laslie’s layered approach. A Saarinen table, Bertoia chairs and marble cocktail table mingle effortlessly with slipcovered chairs, a down-filled sofa and an evolving collection of artwork. The room overlooks Twin Peaks, the highest point in San Francisco.

MID-CENTURY MODERN MEETS SOPHISTICATED SOUTHERN STYLE IN DESIGNER SCOTT LASLIE AND ALEX GUERRERO’S SAN FRANCISCO APARTMENT

COTT LASLIE LOVES LAYERS.

Using carefully curated colors with just the right contrast, playful but pretty patterns on pillows and rugs, and an almost effortless mix of periods and styles, the interior designer—like a sculptor—infuses his interiors with architectural dimension. So when love, business and fate collided, resulting in a move to San Francisco from Atlanta, it was with great ease that Laslie and partner Alex Guerrero, a mid-century purist, mingled their belongings to create a welcoming, personal space that’s every bit as fresh as it is fabulous. Tucked away in an anything-but-ordinary 1920s Spanish Baroque-style building in Buena Vista Park, their apartment-cumoffice is compact but clutter-free. “Living our lives in 900-square-feet, we’re around only the things we love the most,” Laslie says. “We make due with the space.” It’s a philosophy Laslie and Guerrero, a fashion consultant and former merchandising manager for Dockers and The North Face, have parlayed into a successful business platform called FoundMarket.com. Offering room-by-room design services—at exceptionally reasonable prices—the web-based experience is where do-it-yourself meets custom-designed spaces for today’s technology-, design- and price-savvy audience. “There are people who love HGTV, who want the hands-on experience

To take advantage of the master bedroom’s sprawling window bank, Laslie and Guerrero painted the walls in Benjamin Moore’s Silhouette. The dark walls become the perfect frame for enviable views of the city, “really an artwork in itself,” says Laslie, from a “dead-on view of St. Ignatius Catholic Church” to Golden Gate Park and the marina. The statue is from Interiors Market. 73


The mid-century nesting tables in the master bedroom were a gift from Guerrero’s brother. The hallway features a rustic Chinese demilune from Mimi Williams Interiors and a contemporary painting from Lost Art Salon, a San Francisco gallery. opposite A composition of design books, art and ceramics forms its own still life.

and love the challenge of doing it themselves,” Laslie explains, “but they still need the nod from the designer to know that they’re doing the right thing.” Keeping design accessible and personal, in fact, was the foundation for their new home. On a moment’s notice, the dining room table—a farm table from South of Market—can be transformed from desk to dinner for eight, thanks to a pair of midcentury cabinets that gracefully conceal each man’s office clutter. Also important to the pair is showcasing artwork they’ve collected through the years. Their solution: salon-style walls in the living room and master bedroom, which reveal a mixture of mediums and meanings, whether it’s a sketch by Atlanta artist Todd Murphy or a Paris flea market fi nd. Another element Laslie and Guerrero couldn’t ignore: the sixth-floor apart-

ment’s panoramic views, which stretch from the Pacific to the Golden Gate Bridge to the San Francisco Bay. In the master bedroom, Laslie painted the walls in Benjamin Moore’s Silhouette, so at night the black wall of windows becomes a frame for the most beautiful work of all—enviable views of the city, down to the waves crashing beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and its red flashing lights. It’s the fi nal, fi nishing layer that completes the home’s effortless complexity. SEE RESOURCES, BACK OF BOOK. 75

LIFE

WRITTEN BY

MARCIA SHERRILL

Summer CHIC With Atlanta’s hot summers being what they are—a threat to my very sanity, as my Mary Kay foundation pools in my lap—we must retreat ... indoors! It’s time to bring the outdoors inside with cool, lush plants, and head outdoors only as the evening cools. This is the perfect excuse for some new tiki torches, hurricane lanterns, unbreakable dinnerware and glassware. Liven up some thrift store rattan or wrought iron furniture with brightly colored paint; it’ll be the perfect foil for your elegant teak chaises and cocktail tables. Think citron green or lemon yellow, even classic blue-and-white. Indoors, unleash giant palms and flowering annuals from the nearest hothouse. Don’t skimp on lighting, either—masses of candles or filament bulbs strung up overhead, Italian style. Outdoors or in, lay on the table skirts with funky, tropical fabrics. Tack up a hammock. Keep your guests cool with fans and refreshing beverages; a decanter of lemon or cucumber water goes a long way. (Sweet tea always works, too.) Except for my cousin’s kudzu-laden yard, almost any outdoor spot can be transformed into a comfortable living space with pillows and sofas and a café table with a cheery umbrella. For entertaining al fresco after dusk, think about digging a fire pit—or buying one. Just don’t light up near the old leanto, as DeKalb’s fire department will not be amused. Just ask them. I would, but they’ve blocked my number. clockwise, from top SUMMIT FURNITURE COLLECTION AVAILABLE THROUGH KOLO COLLECTION, 1189 HOWELL MILL RD., ATLANTA 30318.
