In the heart of Atlanta, a stylish couple began the search for a new home, hoping to blend sophistication and warmth within a welcoming haven for their family of six. Serendipitously, they happened to meet one of the city’s most celebrated architects, the late Bill Harrison, and mentioned their housing search. The timing couldn’t have been better, as Harrison had recently bumped into former clients looking to downsize from the 1990s Buckhead abode he had remodeled for them more than a decade prior.
Boasting classical flourishes and grandly scaled front rooms, the house quickly captured the couple’s imagination—with a few caveats. Despite its winning past renovation by Harrison, “These new owners wanted the opposite of what the current home was,” their longtime interior designer, Michelle Jennings Wiebe, reveals. “It felt old-world and ornate; think heavy moldings, travertine, dark woods and multilayered window treatments hiding the natural light.” Confident Harrison could reinvigorate the residence to fit their personal tastes, the couple turned to his firm once more.
