Southeastern Designer Show House & Gardens Brings 18 Designer Vignettes to Buckhead
Eighteen designers from around the region collaborated to create the jaw-dropping Southeastern Designer Show House & Gardens, organized by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles and open now through June 2. The 12,000-square-foot home where the showcase takes place is a brand-new estate in Buckhead, designed by the architecture firm Logan Design Group, and built from the ground up in less than five months by Southern Gentry Homes. The grounds are designed by Joe A. Gayle & Associates.
The residence, which is on sale for $6.2 million, is transitional in style and designed to allow future residents the flexibility to enjoy both the indoor spaces and the outdoor amenities, such as a two-acre pond. Inspired by the forest in which it sits, the home is constructed with materials including wood, brick, natural stone, and iron. The property once held the weekend getaway of the Joseph Madison High family (of the High Museum of Art).
Atlanta-based interior designer Yvonne McFadden, of Y. McFadden LLC, worked closely with her team to choose finishes throughout the home, including in the luxury kitchen, butler’s pantry, and breakfast room. Additionally, 18 interior design firms—mostly from Southeastern cities including Atlanta, Jacksonville, Nashville, Charlotte, and Montgomery—created inviting rooms that reflect their unique design aesthetics.
The grand entry and foyer were designed by Beth Webb Interiors, leveraging two of the firm’s favorite manufacturers, de Gournay and David Iatesta. “The inspiration was sophisticated simplicity in a fresh and forward fashion with an elegant vantage point spearheaded by Tristan Harstan,” Webb tells AD PRO. “A layered and considered palette of soft spring color was the welcoming moment upon entering the house.”
Designer Tish Mills Kirk of Tish Mills Interiors outfitted the screened porch off the kitchen. “It’s a fabulous space to unwind and breathe in the outdoors, yet be protected from the elements,” she said of her inspiration. “It becomes an extension of the main space of the home.” She married traditional and contemporary pieces including an emerald-green Moattar Limited over-dyed rug, a Royal Botania teak sofa, Summer Classics furniture, and a vintage stone coffee table, all ensconced by Style Library sheers.
In addition, Atlanta-based firm Sande Beck Design outfitted the main staircase and upstairs landing, anchoring her space with a 19th-century painted chest sourced from William Word Fine Antiques. William C. Huff Jr. and Heather Dewberry, the team behind Atlanta-based Huff-Dewberry, created a palatial haven in the master bedroom on the main floor, and Charlotte-based Holly Hollingsworth Phillips, of The English Room, outfitted a top-floor guest room and bathroom in shades of pink, purple, and indigo. The newly formed Huff Harrington Design crafted the master’s vestibule and covered owner’s veranda, styled as a gallery of fine art, which can be enjoyed both outdoors and inside.
Proceeds from the Southeastern Designer Show House, including correlating special events, designer talks, and parties, benefits the Atlanta History Center (AHC). The home also features select art installations by the Atlanta Artists Collective, which supports local artists and will also donate a portion of the proceeds to AHC.
