Editor’s Eye What I’m loving this month
if it’s not broken... HOW DOES YOUR home celebrate the classics? Are you embracing a less-efficient floor plan in a historic home?
Mark D. Sikes takes us back to the basics in his latest Schumacher collaboration. The Birdie Ticking Stripe is a playful take on a classic motif. schumacher.com
Or are you filling your corners with estate-sale finds and history-filled antiques? Perhaps you’re living in a contemporary-forward space, and your nod is an impressive collection of vinyl records that transport you to decades past. However it may look for you, there’s a reason they say that nothing beats the classics. Our April issue shows three homes that are honoring their original roots as they transition into their next phase of life. In Buckhead, Bradford Lowry Interiors and Norman Davenport Askins, Architect kept the charm of a 1960s ranch, but raised the

In Inman Park, Lauren Elaine Interiors gives a Southern spin to classic English character (page 52), whereas designer Brian Patrick Flynn took a fearless approach to pattern and color in a Mediterranean-style abode in Ansley Park (page 70). Don’t miss designer Anna-Louise Wolfe as she fashions a Palm Beach Chic ladies luncheon (page 16), and we reveal our ultraluxurious favorite releases from Paris Deco Off (page 12).

Atlanta restaurateur Miguel Ayoub opens elevated dining concept R & C KITCHEN in East Cobb Written by EVAN EDWARDS Photographed by DAVID CHRISTENSEN
MIGUEL AYOUB, THE BRAINS behind Atlanta’s beloved Mojave Restaurant, had always dreamed of opening a new dining concept that fuses luxury and camaraderie. Ayoub made his dream a reality when he introduced R & C Kitchen to the Metro Area’s bustling food scene last fall. “While dining in the restaurant and bar area, we want guests to have a luxurious experience in a warm and comfortable environment,” says Ayoub. “Our menu incorporates the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients from local vendors and

farmers. We take pride in what we craft and serve—from the cocktails to the food.” Executive chef Daniel Lee helped Ayoub and his wife, Rachel, curate an exclusive menu inspired by American cuisine with a European flair. From seafood-centric appetizers to delectable entrees and à la carte protein options (the Dry Aged Tomahawk 32-ounce steak being a fan favorite), guests are guaranteed to leave R & C Kitchen longing to return. To drink, opt for one of the restaurant’s sprightly beverages including the Abbey Road cocktail

The library, bar area, dining room, and even a private membership club camouflaged within the walls, are outfitted with new and old pieces as well as custom features. “We selected a jewel box of colors to incorporate in the spaces,” says Rachel. “Using the finest leathers, fabrics, and finishes, we crafted an elegant yet serene backdrop.” Think oakpaneled walls, Ralph Lauren wall sconces, several sitting areas, and a plaster wall mural hand-painted by Quenton Colby Studio. While guests can still enjoy a more laid-back environment at Ayoub’s pub concept, Rose & Crown Tavern, located in the restaurant space directly above R & C Kitchen, it’s no secret that this latest venture has set a new standard for fine dining. randckitchen.com

The landscape design is by Jonathan Bussell. below A watercolor wallpaper from Sanderson adds pattern and color to a powder room. The mirror is WebbMarsteller Designs.
W WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY presented itself to purchase a home in their dream neighborhood—a quiet, family-friendly enclave in Buckhead—a young family of four jumped at the chance. Though they were in love with the home’s location, the residence, a 1960s ranch home, called for a few improvements to better suit the family’s personalities and busy lifestyle. Fortunately, this presented the couple with another opportunity. Having been longtime admirers of his work, they enlisted esteemed Atlanta architect Norman Askins to give their home a new life. They also tapped the interior design talents of Mandy Lowry and Holly Bradford, the duo behind Bradford Lowry Interiors. “They wanted to upgrade the look of the house because it was very horizontal and very low,” explains Askins, who added height by raising the roofline and opening up the foyer, which also flooded the home with natural light. On the exterior, Askins created a proper portico, rearranged and resized columns, and added dormer windows and faux chimneys to create classic symmetry.

“SHE BELIEVES THAT red is a neutral,” says designer Lauren Lowe of her client’s daring color philosophy for a 1908 craftsman in Atlanta’s beloved Inman Park. Lowe, founder of Lauren Elaine Interiors, was tapped by the client and her husband to reinvigorate the abode (whose original iteration was first published in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles in 2005), with a result that is as vibrant and gracious as the storied neighborhood itself. “I’m an Anglophile who loves books, layers, collections, and oddities, and the homeowners and I align in that respect,” says Lowe. Her clients desired an old
54
English manor aesthetic with contemporary embellishments while respecting the home’s original craftsman style. They had a list of elements in mind, like stripes, florals, and bold color, with other must-haves that would foster everyday comfort and joy, like a cozy sofa in the breakfast room and a dedicated place for the husband to play jazz on their grand piano. Because they had recently relocated to Atlanta with minimal furnishings, they worked with Lowe to procure a pleasing mix of high and low furniture, artwork, and accents—scouring auctions, antiques stores, and online

THERE’S A CERTAIN FREEDOM that comes with a traditional floor plan. Unlike open-air interiors, each room can stand alone, forming their own personalities yet still sharing common interests. In this Mediterranean-style Ansley Park property, owners Allison and Ben Hill embraced the formality, working with interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn to give an individual voice to spaces throughout. As avid collectors, the Hills had already acquired much of their furniture over the years, so their main request was to find a way to pull both new and old pieces together for seamless flow. Flynn’s solution: color—and lots of it. “When they bought the house, the walls throughout the main floor were a dusty shade of beige, which argued with all of the bold undertones of the clients’ furniture, rugs, and artwork,” says the designer. “We had to banish the beige.” Flynn embraced the Hill’s collections, uniting spaces with playful, yet sophisticated 73

ABOUT the Showhouse
THE 2024 SOUTHEASTERN DESIGNER SHOWHOUSE is a 10,250-square-foot residence situated on Putnam Drive in Atlanta’s tony Tuxedo Park neighborhood. Imbued with modern interpretations of classic styles, the home is brought to life by builder and developer BENECKI HOMES and BENECKI / COLE, architect AMANDA ORR ARCHITECTS, landscape architect LAND PLUS ASSOCIATES, and interior specification design team SOURCE. A traditional, cleaned-lined exterior and classic silhouette allow the three-story home to blend seamlessly with its neighboring residences—which range from historic Philip Trammell Shutze creations to forward-thinking new constructions. Twin gables add classic charm, while transitional exterior details include a cedar shake roof, painted brick exterior, steel windows, and sculpted steel doors. Inside, minimal trim, Venetian plaster walls, unique fireplaces, barrel-vaulted ceilings, and integrated lighting create a timeless yet current feel. Meanwhile, rounded details—including bullnosecased openings, curved walls, and fluted detailing on the dramatic three-level staircase—add softness throughout. A carefully curated mix of materials blends traditional and modern elements for a harmonious balance. Bleached walnut cabinetry, white oak flooring, brass details, field-cut mosaic tile, 10

and Turkish and Italian marble create a fresh yet warm envelope, as do shades of green. Showstopping moments include a vibrant, all-pink powder room, a cantilevered fireplace, and a dramatic staircase. Though incredibly spacious, this six-bedroom home—which also includes six baths and three half-baths—feels livable thanks to a traditional layout designed to suit both family life and entertaining. A party-ready dining room greets guests, while a wood-paneled study serves as a cozy retreat. Expansive steel windows in the light-filled family room and kitchen offer views of the forested rear lawn, which also features an oval pool. Located just off the family room, the primary suite stretches the entire depth of the home and takes advantage of backyard views. Graciously proportioned bedrooms, en suite baths, a laundry, and a lounge are located on the second floor. On the terrace level, a recreation room opens onto the backyard, while a bar area, covered porch, and pool table room provide plenty of space for hosting guests. A guest bedroom is equipped with a full bath, steam shower, and sauna. This annual showhouse continues Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ tradition of showcasing the Southeast’s best design talents, as well as the industry’s latest trends and leading brands. —Claire Ruhlin
