STYLE REPORT
With demand for Atlanta’s high-rise residences reaching fever pitch, we explore 14 dazzling spaces redefining the direction of local design.
THE MARKET FOR LUXURY condominiums in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood has quite literally soared to great heights. Inventory for residences rising high above storied streets like Peachtree and West Paces Ferry is evaporating before our eyes, thanks to a combination of fivestar amenities, architecturally brilliant build-outs and marketing savvy that includes hiring local interior design stars to outfit units with luxuriously appointed interiors. The lock-and-leave, walkable lifestyle afforded by Atlanta’s more recent in-town developments, whether it’s residences atop hotels such as the Mandarin Oriental and the St. Regis, or mixed-use developments like the Sovereign, is indeed a relatively recent phenomenon—but it’s also one that’s taken off at the speed of light. Here, our editors take a closer look at the residences—each of which have been featured on the pages of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles—that are not only redefining our fair city’s sense of style, but also ushering in an exciting new chapter for cutting-edge design. And, we endeavor to determine which elements are responsible

for skyrocketing these particular interior spaces head and shoulders above the rest.
>> DOUBLE THE DRAMA. WHAT’S BETTER THAN A ROOM WITH A VIEW? AN EQUALLY REMARKABLE SPACE FROM WHICH TO TAKE IT ALL IN. Whether it’s from the comfort of a bub-
bling soaking tub [8] or from behind a showstopping desk [2], create “wow” moments that are as striking as they are personal. Also of key importance: ruthless editing. Clear the clutter to keep the interior space as sculptural as its bird’s eye views.
>> CONTEMPORARY DESIGN NEED NOT SACRIFICE WARMTH OR COMFORT. EVEN THE SMALLEST SPACES CAN PACK IN THE PUNCH, WITH SHOWSTOPPING ART OR STRIKING TEXTURE. Homeowners looking to downsize,
both in square footage and responsibilities, are more likely to embrace contemporary design when it comes to decorating their high-rises. That doesn’t have to equate to a cold aesthetic, however. Keep the direction of your design 25

ALL DRESSED IN WHITE
Using John C. Portman Jr.’s signature paint color, “Portman White,” as their muse, seven area designers paid homage to the esteemed Atlanta architect and developer at AmericasMart’s July market with inspired vignettes. The hue—white, plus two dashes of red—is now available at Claire Ruhlin David Christensen Sherwin-Williams stores by request. WRITTEN BY

Striking Simplicity Keeping Portman’s understated style in mind, STAN TOPOL elected to take the minimalist route, highlighting both the versatility of Portman’s trademark paint color as well as the striking simplicity of his architectural designs. Thanks to Christopher Guy wall mirrors lining the back wall, a glittering Baccarat crystal vase and a charcoal table from Veronica Flam, the vignette is as head-turning as it is dramatic.
A Study in Style Playing off Portman’s sweeping career, Kristin Alber for RESTYLESOURCE cultivated a functional yet creative designer workspace, outfitted in a striking combination of white and blue. A bold accent wall pops against a crisp, white bookcase from Moe’s Home Collection and chairs from LEE Industries. Eyecatching Zoe Bios artwork from Emporium Home and an “inspiration wall” of layered prints add additional bursts of color.

Color Contrast Ever the connoisseur of deftly executed flair (he considers hot pink and violet neutrals, after all), BRIAN PATRICK FLYNN held nothing back in his vibrant arrangement, layering the white backdrop with a selection of statement-making fabrics and accessories in complimentary textures, shapes and colors. Pulling these elements together is a playful painting from Leftbank Art Co., whose pops of red, blue and teal are carried throughout the scene.
Royal Splendor When seeking inspiration for his vignette, KERRY HOWARD looked to a source that also inspired Portman: the Alhambra, an intricately designed palace in Granada, Spain. To that end, Howard honed in on a palette of green and gold, adding opulent details such as horseshoe arches, a gold-finished convex mirror, textured moss (a nod to the Alhambra’s luxurious gardens) and whimsical taboret poufs. An ornate chandelier from Currey & Company completed the designer’s signature aesthetic.

“IF I DIDN’T OPEN UP SOMETHING AT KROG STREET MARKET, I’D BE HERE ALL THE TIME ANYWAY,” says Todd Ginsberg, executive chef and partner at The General Muir, as well as two Krog Street Market food stalls: burger and sandwich counter FRED’S MEAT & BREAD and Middle Eastern eatery YALLA. His is a sentiment shared by
YALLA
Krog Street Market tenants and
FRED’S MEAT & BREAD
visitors alike, and it’s apparent why: The mixed-use development Inman Park development offers access to an amalgam of dining, drinking and retail options compiled in a foodhall format that includes spacious community tables, outdoor patios and BeltLine access. “It’s amazing how the community has rallied and totally adopted this style of eating and entertainment,” Ginsberg says. Fred’s and Yalla, for instance, offer two polarized styles of cuisine—hearty cheesesteaks (recently hailed by Bon Appétit as one of the country’s best) and burgers at the former and fresh chicken shawarma and falafel at the latter. This diversity, though, is the appeal of the former Stove Works building’s market-style concept: crowd-pleasing options, with vendors complementing rather than competing with one another. “We’re an accessory to great chefs and food,” says Kraig Torres, founder of Krog Street Market’s bar and retail concept HOP CITY CRAFT BEER & WINE, where guests can shop for drinks to bring
