As the holiday season approaches, there is no better destination for design lovers, culture seekers, and Southern lifestyle enthusiasts than Atlanta’s iconic Buckhead neighborhood. This November, Georgia’s design capital welcomes back one of the season’s most anticipated traditions: the 13th Annual Home for the Holidays Designer Showhouse, hosted by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles and presented by Bradford Custom Homes & Remodeling.
Combining high-end design, cutting-edge architectural craftsmanship, and a heartwarming cause, this 10,000-square-foot estate serves as the ultimate inspiration for holiday entertaining, home wellness, and travel.
The Estate: A Sanctuary “Built for the Biological”
Perched atop a picturesque, wooded hilltop at 3544 Paces Ferry Road NW, this newly constructed residence in Buckhead’s prestigious Paces neighborhood redefines modern luxury. Designed by architect Rodolfo Castro of Castro Design Studio in collaboration with builder Brad Robinson of Bradford Custom Homes & Remodeling, lead interior designer Cristi Rajevac of Rajevac Design Studio, and landscape architect LandPlus Associates, the home harmonizes a striking modern aesthetic with everyday well-being.
The residence is uniquely built around wellness-focused technology—from integrated circadian lighting systems designed to lower cortisol levels to hospital-grade air and water filtration systems. Architectural highlights include:
- Grand Entrance: A dramatic, curved white oak staircase welcoming guests into the main foyer.
- Resort-Style Grounds: A zero-edge outdoor pool embedded with fiber-optic lighting set into sleek black pebble.
- Effortless Living: A hidden scullery and concealed storage throughout the home, creating serene, uninterrupted flow from room to room.
- Wellness & Leisure Retreat: A lower-level sanctuary featuring a fully equipped gym, sauna, steam shower, cold plunge, massage room, wine tasting room, golf simulator, and private theater.
Room-by-Room Inspiration: Georgia’s Premier Design Talents
Inside, 17 acclaimed local interior designers have transformed the estate’s 5 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms (5 full and 4 half baths) into a festive masterpiece:
