When Mike and Joan Walters purchased a penthouse in The Luxe, a 23-story luxury condominium near Piedmont Park in Atlanta, they called on Margaret Barnett, Barnett & Co., and her associate Walter Kennedy to design the interiors and consult on furniture selections. For sourcing most of their furnishings, the Walters looked to another designer they’d known and worked with, Atlanta Cantoni’s Mercedes Williams. The Walters ProjectThe finished product demonstrates that this turned out to be a brilliantly creative collaboration among client, designers and Cantoni. With each room framed by the wraparound balcony and spectacular views, the 3,200-square foot penthouse is washed in natural light, the team’s basic design element. The beautiful wood floors and custom cabinetry and stone flooring and fireplace anchor a palette of warm neutral colors––from black to white, from dark chocolates to buttery yellows–– that blend into a harmonious unity throughout. Subtle accents are delivered by lighting, antique carpets, accessories and art. The Walters ProjectThe collaboration was clockwork. Says Mercedes, “I’d meet with the client and designers in our showroom to discuss the project and tour our collections. The designers and I fine-tuned the options, then again with the client to finalize their selections. On a project like this, you really appreciate Cantoni’s huge selection and in-stock inventory.” Mike sums it up: “Joan and I knew perfectly well what we wanted and Margaret, Walter and Mercedes tuned in to our vision and made it reality. Life is good when you can blend the ideas of smart, accomplished people to create a fantastic home.” The Walters ProjectThanks to Mike and Joan for choosing Cantoni and for permitting us to showcase their fantastic new home in this eNewsletter. Thanks as well to Margaret Barnett and Walter Kennedy and finally, congrats to Mercedes Williams and Cantoni Atlanta for their contribution. Great Design Is a Way of Life—especially at the top of the world!

In the study we selected a glass top desk and leather chair that give a sense of luxury and comfort to the home office. Extra storage in the center of the book shelf houses his office equipment, router and stereo amplifier that also connects to the TV on the other side of the wall. The orange leather chair is the continuous accent color throughout the flat.

Architect: Geoff Chick & Associates Builder: Chris Clark Construction Our company supplied all exterior windows and doors by Weather Shield, E. F. San Juan custom Invincia impact doors, exterior trim, Ipe decking, interior doors, and interior trim. The main challenge was taking the design vision of the homeowner and the interior design team, Marianne Temple and Robyn Prince, and presenting solutions where our scope of work was concerned. The owners had expressed a desire to have very large custom sliding barn doors to completely cover some tall cased openings in the main first-floor hallway. We had several job-site meetings with contractor Chris Clark, the owners, and the design team to come up with the final design for the interior millwork. We designed and built massive barn doors made of select and pecky cypress for the first-floor entry hallway, much to the homeowner’s delight. They have described the doors as large works of art. The home also featured extensive use of solid wood paneling on the walls and ceilings to provide warmth to the interiors. It was a joy to work with such talented designers and builders and to help the owner's vision come alive. This was this owner’s second home in WaterColor to be completed using E. F. San Juan products. --- Photography by Colleen Duffley, courtesy of Geoff Chick & Associates

San Juan supplied all exterior windows and doors by Weather Shield, exterior trim, Ipe decking, interior doors, interior trim, and our patented E. F. San Juan custom Invincia impact doors. For this home, our millwork team worked directly with the builder, Chris Clark, to create an interior trim and millwork design to work within the budget provided. Southwest Georgia pine was milled for walls, and pecky cypress paneling was milled for ceilings in select areas of the home to create visual interest and a splash of texture and color. The result is a stunning beachside residence whose crisp and clean lines are balanced by the natural wood textures that genuinely reflect the beauty of the surrounding coastal environment. --- Photography by Colleen Duffley, courtesy of Geoff Chick & Associates
