    IA Interior Architects Creates Ideal Office-as-Home: Harella House

    Two-and-a-half years later, working from home is still as popular as it was at the start of the pandemic, even with the pangs of missing human connection and working as a team. IA Interior Architects set out to change that by merging the best of both scenarios with the creation of a concept in London called The Harella House. IA’s idea of an office-as-home resulted in a modern workspace that delivers innovation and face-to-face experiences with a focus on balance and well-being, things typically not associated with the office.

    Cate Dunning Turns Her Beloved Late Grandmother’s House Into Her Dream Family Home

    WE CALL IT THE URBAN family homestead,” Cate Dunning says of the house she now shares with her husband, Chris, and daughter, Mollie. “Whenever there’s a holiday, or any event, everyone is in our house.” That tradition dates back to long before the home belonged to Dunning, an interior designer by trade and cofounder of Atlanta design firm GordonDunning. The story begins in 1955, when her maternal grandparents moved from Maine to Decatur, Georgia, and settled into “773,” a loving nod to the “homestead’s” address. They raised four children in the house, and, later, it was a hub for extended family. “We grew up going there all the time,” says…
