Home design - small country home design idea in Atlanta

For over twenty years, Walker Zanger has been a participating vendor for the Pasadena Showcase House of Design. Each year, a house in the Pasadena area is selected and transformed into a showpiece by some of the leading interior designers in Los Angeles. The house selected for the 2014 Showcase is known as the Flint House and was originally built for Robert Flint and his wife Margaret Grey Flint in 1915, in the English Arts and Crafts style. Designs of the Interior was selected to design the Master Suite Wing and teamed up with Walker Zanger to remodel the master bath. Due to the historical aspect of this landmark, major construction was limited and the designers were barred from removing historical pieces, like windows and fireplaces. The designers selected a color palette of grays, taupe, cream and peacock. Sleek fixtures graced the freestanding oval bath tub, while nickel finishes adorn the shower and sink. Walker Zanger’s Tangent Collection, which consists of decorative marble and limestone mosaics, lined the floors and the shower and bath walls. The floor contains a starburst mosaic pattern made out of Calacatta marble and Flannel and Ash Grey limestones. The shower fixtures were highlighted by a strip of Café Bruno marble tiles and surrounded by a teardrop mosaic pattern in Calacatta. Inspired by a blend of abstract geometrical shapes and mid-century modern design, Designs of the Interior considered Walker Zanger’s Tangent Collection the perfect choice for transforming this master bath into a magnificent show piece that complements the home’s original architecture.

An existing outdated back porch structure was removed and replaced with a larger outdoor living area designed to truly fit this family’s current lifestyle. It encompasses the entire back of the house with a low sloping vaulted ceiling and is accessible from all spaces. Special emphasis was given to the kitchen area where grandchildren participate in cooking the catch of the day from family fishing trips! Dining and sitting spaces are also provided with a fireplace that can be viewed through French doors from the Living Room. The master suite is updated with a modernized bathroom that features a walk-in tub and a large accessible shower.

Joseph Eichler developed his moderately priced houses for the mass-market starting in 1949. His homes were designed using affordable materials and simple construction techniques. Nearly 70 years later these homes are in need of updating and remodeling an Eichler home today can become an imposing and costly project if you’re not careful. For this project the clients, who had undergone several previous house renovations, were determined to stick with an established budget from the beginning. Klopf Architecture helped them modernize their Eichler with a premium appearance on a reasonable budget. The clients challenged the Klopf team to create a design that had a high-end feel and nicely done while adhering to their budget. That meant not all of the initial project scope could be built. Like many other Eichler homes, the original floor plan did not meet the family’s needs leaving them feeling disconnected from one room to another. While an early goal was to expand the house into a carport and create a larger garage, it did not survive the contractor pricing phase of the project. The goals that did survive through to the end of the project included blurring some of the boundaries and opening up some of the spaces, making them more functional and creating a smoother flow in the house. The Klopf team joined the former separate kitchen and formal living room into one large space and shift the dining room where it is now connected to the kitchen. Klopf swapped the family room to the front alongside the living room, so the spaces feel more cohesive and are now better suited for family activities. The functional layout of the master bathroom was changed to include a large, curbless shower. Installing a complete IKEA kitchen including cabinets, countertops, appliances, light fixtures, and furnishings was key to staying within budget. Bath fixtures in this house are also exclusively IKEA. Klopf Architecture has designed many homes using IKEA products, which are quite compatible offering an affordable, contemporary take on Eichler homes. The clients saved additional money from the simplicity and availability of IKEA products and by orchestrating the orders and purchases themselves. Following each construction meeting, the clients would make a run to IKEA and purchase items, pick up needed spare parts, and bring them back right away to stay ahead of the contractor’s schedule and minimize the chance of delays and bottlenecks. Klopf balanced material selections by retaining some of the original woodwork and simply refinishing the mahogany paneling. They were able to retain the original windows and sliding doors which were still in good shape, avoiding some of the most costly replacement expenses. Additionally interior doors were simply refinished and the exterior siding cleaned up and repainted. Formerly dark interiors are now illuminated with new slimmer semi-recessed lighting eliminating the need for costly roof work. Attention to design details allowed the Klopf team to ensure the house ended up with a high quality feel. Key visual elements were strictly aligned and Klopf worked with the clients to select a unified materials palette throughout the spaces so the house flows seamlessly together. Aligning the tile layout with the trusses and keeping it level with the concrete slab outside allowed them to achieve a level of quality that may otherwise be missed. The clients were able to keep their budget on track by determining clear goals and making critical decisions upfront, choosing materials and furnishings wisely, working with the right design and construction teams in place and to a large part, their willingness to participate throughout the process. In the end the clients were much happier with their reconfigured Eichler home and Klopf Architecture managed to keep their remodeling costs to about $325/sf – a good amount below the average Bay Area Eichler remodel.

Saturday, April 11, 2:00-3:30pm Register Online: https://tclf.org/event/garden-dialogues-dallas-fort-worth-2015 One Westover by William Bibb and Brian McDonald of Archiverde, LLC, with Weldon Turner, Turner | Boaz Architecture This stately private property, originally owned by the philanthropic Rhodes family for more than 100 years, was completely renovated by the current owner from 2010-2013. The project is a major collaboration between the landscape architect and architect, both of whom will participate in the Dialogue. The landscape is just over an acre, and its design is based on centerlines and relationships of the architecture. The arrival is marked by a sweeping walkway that runs along the edge of a grand central lawn and stately groves of pond cypress trees frame the house on both sides. At the rear of the home an open courtyard holds an elaborate swimming pool complete with fountain, infinity weir and shallow water ledge. An adjacent fire pit is surrounded by four live oak trees. The pool and fire pit area were designed based upon the centerline of the master bedroom. At the basement area the lower courtyard centers on the large library windows. Here lacey Japanese maple trees set in large pots provide a delicate canopy. To the east a veranda overlooks a small lawn area backed by pre-existing woodland and a creek bed enhanced by new native plantings.

In a suburb less than 3 miles from Manhattan an old house underwent a major facelift. I had a good fortune of being invited to participate on the garden design and installation. In the front a simple corten steel frame lifts an arrangement of Carex Pensilvanica, that will mature into a lawn that will not need mowing. Playful clusters of Boxwoods add structure and winter interest.

Rich and Janet approached us looking to downsize their home and move to Corvallis to live closer to family. They were drawn to our passion for passive solar and energy-efficient building, as they shared this same passion. They were fortunate to purchase a 1050 sf house with three bedrooms and 1 bathroom right next door to their daughter and her family. While the original 55-year-old residence was characterized by an outdated floor plan, low ceilings, limited daylight, and a barely insulated outdated envelope, the existing foundations and floor framing system were in good condition. Consequently, the owners, working in tandem with us and their architect, decided to preserve and integrate these components into a fully transformed modern new house that embodies the perfect symbiosis of energy efficiency, functionality, comfort and beauty. With the expert participation of our designer Sarah, homeowners Rich and Janet selected the interior finishes of the home, blending lush materials, textures, and colors together to create a stunning home next door to their daughter’s family. The successful completion of this wonderful project resulted in a vibrant blended-family compound where the two families and three generations can now mingle and share the joy of life with each other.

Small country home design photo in Atlanta

This image performs an act of deliberate spatial framing: we are positioned as intruders in a threshold, the photograph's foreground bracketed by two monumental slabs of mahogany-toned door leaf and jamb that compress the visual field into a portal roughly one-third the width of the frame. The composition is therefore a study in *enfilade* logic — a controlled, telescoping sightline that draws the eye through a narrow aperture into a recessed alcove, a purpose-built writing niche carved from what appears to be a corridor or dressing-room vestibule. The niche itself is architecturally modest in footprint but generous in vertical proportion; the ceiling reads as a plain plastered plane, unadorned save for a surface-mounted linear picture light on a slender drop stem, and the wall is treated as a full-height field for a single dominant object. The joinery is the true architecture here: a continuous run of casework establishes a horizontal datum at desk height, with a cantilevered writing surface returning perpendicular to the left-hand wall and a lower bank of drawers and a shallow ledge running right. That ledge functions as a *cimaise* or picture shelf, resolving the base of the framed nautical chart and giving the composition a plinth. Above, an integrated soffit or upper cabinet with concealed under-lighting terminates the left elevation, reinforcing the sense of an inhabited, tailored recess rather than a room. The herringbone parquet in the foreground introduces a diagonal geometry that runs counter to the orthogonal grid of doors, casework and picture frame, and this friction — chevron against rectilinear — animates what would otherwise be a static, axial composition. The single chair, canted slightly off-axis and pulled away from the desk, is the compositional pivot: it breaks the symmetry, occupies the exact center of the aperture, and converts an architectural vignette into a narrative one. The palette is a disciplined exercise in the warm end of the spectrum, essentially monochromatic in hue and differentiated almost entirely by value, sheen and grain. The dominant material is timber, deployed in at least three distinct registers: the foreground door and jamb in a deeply saturated, red-brown mahogany or sapele with a high-build lacquer or French-polish sheen that catches light in long vertical highlights; the desk and casework in a lighter, honeyed figured wood — quartered cherry or anigre — finished to a satin rather than gloss, so that the eye reads it as a working surface rather than a ceremonial one; and finally the pale, blond oak of the herringbone floor, cerused or naturally oxidized to a straw tonality that lifts the lower register of the frame. Against this timber triad, the walls provide a chalky, low-saturation ground: a limewashed or flat-emulsion cream with a distinctly yellow-warm undertone that absorbs rather than reflects. The upholstery is the room's chromatic keynote — a saddle-tan or cognac leather, semi-aniline, already developing patina and slight slouch at the seat, its edge articulated by a close-set brass or antique-nickel nailhead trim that reads as a stitched seam of tiny metallic points. Metals are used sparingly and with historical precision: the polished chrome rosette and knob of the door with its heavy escutcheon and mortise strike plate, the slim brushed housing of the picture light. Texturally, the room stages a dialogue between the hard, reflective and the soft, absorbent: lacquer against limewash, taut leather against the friable, foxed paper of the antique chart. That chart — a hydrographic survey rendered in ochre, sepia and faded aqua, its ebonized frame supplying the composition's only true black — is the material anchor, its aged paper introducing a granular, time-worn texture that no new surface in the room could supply. The terrier, coincidentally or not, participates in this material scheme: a wiry tan-and-black coat that reads as a textile in its own right, tonally identical to the leather beneath it. The lighting design is layered, warm-Kelvin and almost entirely artificial in its narrative effect, though the scene depends on a critical unseen source. A shaft of low, raking daylight enters from the right — presumably a window outside the frame — and lands as a hard-edged parallelogram across the parquet and the chair's front rail, creating the image's strongest contrast and lending the floor a sense of temporal specificity: late afternoon, low sun. Against this, three artificial layers operate. The surface-mounted picture light washes the nautical chart in an even, slightly amber flood, functioning as accent lighting that establishes the chart as the room's hierarchical focus. Concealed strip lighting beneath the upper casework grazes the left-hand desk return, providing task illumination and articulating the millwork's shadow line. Ambient fill is minimal and deliberately so; the corners of the niche fall into soft, unresolved shadow, and the whole tableau is rendered in a narrow tonal band of amber and umber that suppresses cool light almost entirely. The resulting atmosphere is one of burnished interiority — hushed, crepuscular, protective. Stylistically, the room resists easy categorization but sits most comfortably within a contemporary *Warm Traditionalism* or refined **Anglo-American Modern Classic** idiom: the vocabulary is unmistakably tailored-traditional (nailhead-trimmed leather, mortise hardware, framed cartography, a Deco-inflected barrel-back desk chair), yet the detailing is stripped of ornament — no cornice, no panel molding, no applied millwork profile — and the casework is resolved with the flush, planar minimalism of a mid-century yacht interior. It is, in essence, a *cabinet de travail* reimagined through the discipline of modern joinery: a room that borrows the emotional register of the club library while adopting the reductive geometry of contemporary architecture. The dog, unhurried and centrally enthroned, is the final aesthetic argument — evidence that the space is not a set piece but a lived, occupied, and evidently affectionate interior.

Hom, Inc. has the honor of participating in some of the coolest personal residence projects. This project in particular is a perfect fit for us and we are thrilled to be a part of it. Designed by Mark Spangler, Architect, this home is intended to look like an old farm house that was added on to over the years. Construction details, materials and other considerations are all carefully chosen to reflect the era when family farms were a staple and quality was the norm. With a perfect setting near the James River and tucked in behind the Goochland Courthouse on a family farm, this home will be a hidden gem of fantastic architecture and quality construction.

2015 Home Tour Participant Looking to add more living space for this growing family, Homeowners of this 1923 St Paul home made the decision to finish their basement. A full new floor plan was designed to include a long list of must haves. The new space included: a new bedroom, family room for the kids to play, an additional room for guests and/or study, new 3/4 bath, easy access for bicycle storage in laundry, low pile carpet that is comfortable for the kids to play, and warmth for the MN winters! A great floor plan was designed that integrated the family room and guest bed/study that also creates wonderful sight lines and a great flow. The basement was updated with all new windows including two egress windows. Beautiful rainglass pocket doors were installed to the bath and laundry to continue the flow of natural light from room to room. Custom natural oak millwork and beautiful door knobs by Rejuvenation Hardware were installed throughout. To match the charm of the home, subway tile and hex tile floors were installed in the new bath and shower. The bath was finished with a stock vanity, mirror, lighting, and Kohler plumbing fixtures. Modern features were also integrated throughout including Hudson Reed wall mount radiators and a NEST thermostat. One of our favorite features of this project, is the original support header and column that we decided to keep exposed. The homeowners took it upon themselves to sand the aged wood down to its natural color and it truly creates a unique piece of art. Castle and the Homeowners couldn’t be happier with the finished product. Photographer: Lisa Brunnel

Material Masterpiece Great clients with great vision. The best of Selah Pools & Custom Outdoor Environments starts with our client's willingness to participate in the design process as we build their custom dream. Ultra-Luxe design is found in the details. Each hand cut & placed dry stack stone in this scene, from their outdoor kitchen to the booted patio extension column, throughout the raised spa, the water feature wall, and the fire bowl columns are placed for depth & dimensional effect. The 1x1 glass tile forming the spa spillway attracts the waterfall like a magnet to deliver a gentle edgeless connection to the swimming pool. With carefully cut & placed tile match on the "rolled beam" of the spa interior, the entire spa scene gleams with intent as it delivers smooth, restful comfort. Completing the scene with an expansive pool deck color matched to bring it all together and leaving plenty of room for sports, play & relaxation delivers the total residential dream oasis.

Ca. 1919 Craftsman Style Home, Revisioned by the South’s Leading Designers Twenty‐two leading interior designers from three different states completely restored this historic home on Franklin’s historic Main Street as part of the O’More Show House, which was opened to the public from May 12‐27, 2016 and presented by leading sponsor, PARKS. This is the third O’More Show House event in recent years, with participating designers having ties to O’More College of Design in downtown Franklin and proceeds benefiting the College’s School of Interior Design. The 2016 home, a 5,200 square‐foot ca. 1919 brick and stucco Craftsman‐style cottage, is a significant contributing property to the National Register‐listed Hincheyville Historic District. The owners have undertaken a total renovation of the home’s interior while leaving the street‐view exterior intact. We were recommended to project managers and O'More College for the entire landscape design and installation: landscaping, irrigation, lighting, paver walks and patios, paver-raised porch with steps, paver banding in driveway!
