This one-storey house located in Decatur, GA, USA has been reconstructed from an old post-war house that has been undertaken by Hagan Architects. Before the reconstruction, this house had been nothing more than a run-down building with a dull and tired appearance, but during the reconstruction something amazing happened. It all began with the replacement of the small French doors at the front of the house that are made from aluminium and glass panels. The interior has some very simple yet contemporary features which help to keep this old house alive with colour and depth. Simple white walls with wooden panelled flooring adds luxury to the whole building, whilst giving the whole space warmth and vitality.

Standing very tall and proud whilst towering over the green trees in the courtyard, this enormous construction is amazing. This French cottage with picturesque surroundings has been created by Barnes Vanze Architects and oozes class and elegance with rustic cottage qualities. When you walk into this wonderful house, the style and decor is evident and very appealing, with the rustic terracotta floor panels and wooden beams. One of the loveliest features in this house is the square spiralled staircase that effortlessly turns with pure opulence and sophistication creating a centre piece for the hallway. The living area has beautiful touches with its plush furnishings and dark wooden features. Designer Anthony Barnes. Photo Anice Hoachlander.
