Home for Christmas (8 photos)

August 15th, 2007

For those of you who just cannot get enough of Beecham Builders’ outstanding work, Brent Beecham has supplied me with pictures of two more Alliance Children’s Theater Christmas Houses built by his company in the Atlanta area.

State-of-the-art modern kitchen Collinfield Hall was the 2002 Christmas House designed by architect Eduardo Contreras of Bryan & Contreras. It is an 8-bedroom, 12,000 square foot masterpiece which boasts an awesome kitchen designed by Design Galleria Kitchen & Bath Studio among its outstanding features. The two-story kitchen features two islands (is that a kitchen archipelago?), Wolfe, Sub-Zero and Asko appliances supplied by The Westye Group, a range hood which extends to the peak of the kitchen’s cathedral ceiling, and glass-fronted Downsview cabinets.

Central to the outdoor living concept is the loggia, equipped with outdoor kitchen and fireplace, which surrounds the pool. The architecture of the house was inspired by the old world villas in the Tuscany region of Italy. Read More »

gatsby_style_homeEvery big city has its own residential finish line, the place you move to when you’ve got it made. Luxurious urban penthouses high in the sky, midtown lofts, brownstones, white-columned mansions and Tudor castles surrounded by acres of manicured gardens are but a few examples of the signature homes which define a metropolis.

Whether your tastes tend toward Miami Vice or Victorian, Versache or Versailles, you’ll find it in Urban Living.NY_skyline –>
