Modern Atlanta: Home tour highlights ‘Design is Human Week’
BY COLLIN KELLEY
Modem Atlanta will host its sixth an
nual “Design is Human Week” June 1-9 to
celebrate international design excellence.
Founded six years ago by Bernard Mc
Coy and Elayne DeLeo, Modern Atlanta
continues to grow in scope.
“Bernard and I are thrilled that MA has
grown from its first Modern Home tour
to what it has become today — a week-long
series of events featuring talks, panel dis
cussions, product launches and more,”
DeLeo said.
Last year, the home tour expanded
from Atlanta to showcase homes in Ath
ens. This year, the tour, which will be held
June 8-9, goes further afield with three
homes open for tours in Charlotte and Ra
leigh, N.C.
But the bulk of the tour remains in
metro Atlanta with 14 private homes, in
cluding a couple in Buckhead; lofts, gal
lery spaces and businesses; and even a
place of worship located in Sandy Springs.
Homes on the tour include the Con
quest residence in Ormewood Park,
Whitespace Gallery in Inman Park, TaC
Studios in the Old Fourth Ward, the
Pollan-Hernandez loft in Midtown, Seal
Pavilion in Decatur, Lightroom Studio
in Decatur, Fier Studio in North Druid
Hills, the Dyson home in Druid Hills,

Left, the Sarvis residence in Buckhead, designed by Dencity, was constructed with local stone, cypress, European
stucco and commercial glass. The T-shaped plan creates a private area in the back that contains an outdoor patio
and pool. The Earthcraft-certified home also has a distinct roof form, which makes it appear to be lifting off the
house. Located near Phipps Plaza, the Bongers residence, right, was built on what was once thought to be an
unbuildable lot because a winding stream bisected the property. The unique design of the home allows a portion
of the front corner of the home to cantilever over the floodplain area and not to encroach into the stream itself.
