LIVING IN LUXURY
6th Annual Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Designer Showhouse
A
tlanta’s top interior designers have been coming to Serenbe since 2014 to be a part of the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Serenbe Designer Showhouse. Each designer is paired with a room inside the showhouse and charged with creating a warm and inviting yet sophisticated space that will be enviable by all. Guided by lead designer Anna-Wooten Loggins, ten interior designers will showcase their talents in the 2019 Serenbe Showhouse. The gorgeous interiors combined with the clean lines of the home’s design, sustainable features and unparalleled views of the Mado forest provide a luxurious home that will have you imagining your life there. “I like to incorporate a little traditional with a little contemporary…something new and something old,” said Loggins of her vision for the 2019 Serenbe Showhouse. “My favorite go-to color is black, so I tend to use it somewhere in all of my designs. The other designers and I have shared concepts on an overall look and feel, so I’m excited about the cohesive look of this year’s Showhouse.” Designed by Serenbe Planning & Design (SP&D) and built by South Haven Builders, the 3,380 square foot home “shares aspects of architecture and design with Sweden.” It has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, an open kitchen and living room, a huge master suite and covered decks off the living room and master bedroom that makes you feel like you’re standing in the trees. “Our design was influenced by rural Scandinavian dwellings with the use of light, natural wood and simple massing,” said Steve Dray of Serenbe Planning & Design. “The goal
was to compliment the natural setting of the woods off the back of the home while blending with neighboring houses on the street.” A trend that Dray likes to include into SP&D homes is convenient access to laundry rooms from master closets. The team also likes to use oversized, wall-mounted shaving mirrors in bathrooms so there is space for windows over the sinks, bringing in more daylight to brighten the home. South Haven Builders, who worked closely with SP&D on the Showhouse project from the beginning, also likes to focus on rooms that are “lived in.”They gravitate toward wall planking, lighter-colored cabinets and warm woods, all of which you will see in the 2019 Showhouse. “This home is the way I’d want to live,” said builder Shane Roach. “We like to include custom features for mudrooms, kids’ rooms, outdoors spaces; things you don’t see a lot of focus on in older homes but mean quite a bit to families and are popular in new builds.Things like adding a pantry or having large closets; it’s what you appreciate for daily living.” Everyone involved in the 2019 Serenbe Showhouse mentions the charm and warmth of this Mado home. Only in Serenbe can you find consistent quality of architecture surrounded by nature coupled with all the sophisticated offerings of a city lifestyle.
