apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I really dig that dinning room table!

I saw this house first hand during the Modern Atlanta home tour. The photos don't do it justice - what you can't see is how they subtly and seamlessly progressed from traditional furniture / design in the front (older) part of the house to modern in the back. It was my favorite house on the tour, and gives me hope for design in Atlanta!

Totally agree with Heneage. I saw it on the tour too. It's absolutely stunning in person. I never would have thought these two styles could work together. The architects/designers had amazing vision!

I love the steel cladding, but how would the dark finish and no window treatments affect the energy efficiency of the house? Looks like it might become a solar oven on one of those hot airless days for which Atlanta is famous.

Its beautiful... But, I would like to see how it flows from the orginal house into what is pictured, even the link to more pictures does really show that.

it's really pleasing to look at..

I was out of town for the Modern Atlanta Home Tour this year, but have been following this house ever since! BLDG Architects has brought lots of attention to Atlanta architecture & design! As an Atlanta native and a design lover, so proud! If you like this house, Google the Florian-Hart residence to see more of BLDG's Atlanta work!

Thank you Apartment Therapy again! You guys rock!

I too like the dining area. I think this is a handsome house, the exterior color is so nice and beautiful windows. There are some elements that are too cold like the glass panels on the stairwell, it would of been more beautiful with a steel or iron detail of some sort.

Just a bit more dark wood added would be nice.

i love modern architecture! I saw another AMAZING home in France owned by famous fashion designer John Rocha. You can see it at http://heartanddesign.blogspot.com

The kitchen reminds me of the atrium at the Omni Complex in the late 70's (while it had the French Restaurant overlooking the indoor ice skating rink) before it became CNN Center...

I also saw the house this spring. It was pretty cool, but not my favorite place on the tour. I notice that it seems like all of the pictures linked are from the addition. I liked that part of the house and the outdoor space more than the original house. Still, I'd be pretty happy with it if it were my place. Here's another house I liked on the tour that's in Decatur: http://rainshinehouseatlanta.blogspot.com/

Saw this on the tour, it is genius, esp. the staircase in the addition and the glass box fishbowl side of a guest room on the edge of the addition.

I have some other photos in a flickr set, but the photography is REALLY bad...

I saw this on the modern home tour as well and it was by far my favorite. Stunning. The flow from the front half to the back felt quite natural. The front rooms were traditionally furnished (exquisitely, I might add) and as you moved to the back more modern furniture was sprinkled in until you were in the completely modern part of the house. It all felt quite natural. The front half even had that "old money" smell to it. Truly the best of both worlds in one home.
