ARBLE DESERVES attention and delights your eyes in the bathroom of this new Piedmont Heights home. A focal wall with striking stone in charcoal, gray, black and white hides an inset tub, continuing uninterrupted to the shower. “We were able to use that to create a lot of visual interest,” says designer Joel Kelly. The glass shower wall becomes the only clue that one might bathe in the room. The homeowners, who moved to Atlanta from Chicago, desired an urban feel that would be more congruous with the rest of the house, which has darker interiors. Sculpture and art, much of which was passed down from family to the homeowners, enhances the room’s artistic edge. The Walker Zanger marble is continued on the countertops, where a pair of inset walnut vanities by Block & Chisel act more 10

WELVE-FOOT CEILINGS AND a shotgun-style layout allowed Jennifer Reiner and Robert White with Reiner White Design Studio to add their signature brand of intriguing sophistication to the interiors of this new North Atlanta residence. Exposed wood beams, steel-and-glass transom windows and thick moldings establish a hefty scale in the master bathroom, while shinier elements—such as Caesarstone countertops, a porcelain floor tile laid in an argyle pattern, vintage brass hardware and Newport Brass plumbing fixtures in a satin gold—brighten the space, says White. “As far as Jennifer’s and my tastes go, we don’t do delicate very well,” White says. Adds Reiner: “The details are in the scale.” The graphic, laser-cut tile by Walker 23

PRETTY & PRACTICAL BREAKFAST NOOK and BUTLER’S PANTRY ■ ANNA-LOUISE WOLFE, ANNA LOUISE WOLFE, LTD. Anna-Louise Wolfe leaned into her dressy style for the main dining space. “I am traditional, therefore I thought, ‘Why not go ahead and do a skirted table and pretty china?” she says. She overlaid ikat fabric with a print of branches, birds and flowers that exuded a country farmhouse feel, underneath Ginori dinnerware. Aviary motifs in the monogrammed napkins and bookcase accessories join earthy elements, such as rattan chargers and bamboo flatware. Wolfe played off the white shiplap and butler’s pantry cabinets painted Benjamin Moore’s Kitty Gray by lining the bookshelves with blue grasscloth. Chairs covered in blue leopard print and casual linen check treatments demonstrate Wolfe’s fondness for pattern, also found in the porcelain and boxes, and the antiqued mirror finish on the iron sconces in the butler’s pantry. For a turn of the head, she commissioned Mary Carpenter to create a contemporary acrylic work of art that offset the traditional and country choices. —Lori Johnston

COMFY CLASSICISM SCREENED PORCH ■ BUFFY FERGUSON and DAVID FRAZIER, ELIZABETH FERGUSON DESIGN and DAVID FRAZIER, LLC By layering a wrought-iron daybed and modern dining set by Harbour Outdoor with accessories such as an antique urn and wood gilt candlesticks, designers Buffy Ferguson and David Frazier infused their light-filled space with hints of classicism and contemporary flair. “By mixing those styles, it feels more comfortable because it feels lived in and curated,” says Frazier. The pair selected natural details—like tobacco leaves and antlers in an antique wooden bowl—and textures from the wicker and linen drapery to bring in Serenbe’s beauty. “Our biggest goal is to never have a room that feels decorated. We want it to feel collected. Through that collection we achieve a timelessness and luxury,” says Frazier. —Shannon Dominy

ANGUILLA REDUX THE ISLAND OF ANGUILLA, a self-governing British Territory about the the size of Manhattan, is known for both hospitality and conviviality. Nowhere is this more evident than at CuisinArt Golf Resort and Spa, sprawling along a postcard-perfect beach directly across from St. Martin on the famous Rendezvous Bay. The resort, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, has majestically reclaimed its pre-hurricane glory, plus some. Especially noticeable are the constant, infectious smiles of the staff—affably proud of how beautifully “their” resort has recovered. 112
“Hospitality is our middle name,” says Stephane Zaharia, President and Managing Director of CuisinArt Golf Resort and Spa. “Many of the staff have been here since we opened. They take care of guests with a true sense of ownership.” Likewise, the resort’s design has been updated from top to bottom, along with a steadfast commitment to sustainability. The new, improved CuisinArt Golf Resort and Spa features an enclave of Greeceinspired, whitewashed structures (91 suites and 7 villas) spread out like a series of mini mansions over a meticulously landscaped
beachfront. The interiors are dressed in stark white with gracious touches of sea-tosky blues, and open up to large balcony terraces. Furniture by Roche Bobois lends an upbeat-modern vibe to the pristine rooms which are bathed in breezy ocean air and the best beach music possible—the sound of sea birds and waves hitting the beach. The pool is the center point of the resort, flanked by Mosaic, an open-air dining pavilion that offers a lavish breakfast buffet as well as lunch and dinner menus served every day (at lunch, enjoy one of the best versions of Salad Niçoise on the planet).

A cozy beach cabana. opposite Mosaic restaurant opens up alongside the cabana-lined pool.
Also poolside, KazBar is a laid back, Moroccan-style lobby bar open to the outdoors, where Meze plates accompany cocktails that are as inventive as they are refreshing. Tokyo Bay is the resort’s Teppanyaki-style restaurant. Beachside? There is a bar, of course, delivering cold drinks and Caribbean specialties right to your beach chair. Water sports are available for the asking, but it is the 18-hole Greg Norman Championship Golf Course that is the resort’s flagship. Literally stretching out over 16,000 feet along the Anguillan Channel with breathtaking views of the Caribbean as a backdrop, the course is one of the most stunning golf courses in the world. With wondrous grounds to explore, plus a splash pad, huge pool and the beach, children will not want to leave the property. Parents might choose to take in a bit of pampering at the 27,000 square foot Spa (they can even concoct their own custom bath scrub). A fitness center and a wide range of classes are offered next door. Just down the beach is the new, slightly more contemporary sister property, The Reef by CuisinArt, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Amenities are shared between properties and include fine dining at The Reef’s Yacht Club which overlooks the sea, of course. cuisinartresort.com 113
