Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles is delighted to present the 11th annual Southeastern Designer Showhouse benefiting Solidarity Sandy Springs, a local food pantry dedicated to reducing the impact of food insecurity on families and individuals in the community. The 24-day fundraiser, taking place April 16th – May 10th, will showcase a newly built residence by Hask Custom Homes in collaboration with architect Linda MacArthur and interior specification designer Claudia Stimmell, with landscaping by Floralis Garden Design. The showhouse will feature engaging events and demonstrations, creating a lively atmosphere while honoring the beauty, grandeur, and tradition that define this event.

This year’s Southeastern Designer Showhouse will be held at a residence located in the highly coveted Chastain Park area of Sandy Springs. The nearly 13,000-square-foot home is designed in a refined European transitional style, blending classic architectural detailing with a modern, livable sensibility. The exterior features timeless elements including a charming front chimney, charcoal slate roof, and brick façade accented with limestone, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming presence. Inside, the home balances structure and softness through curved plaster walls, herringbone wood floors, and richly layered textures, while a moody palette of natural stone, wide-plank hardwoods, custom cabinetry by Bell Cabinetry through Construction Resources, and luxe metal finishes underscores the transitional aesthetic. The result is a residence that feels both enduring and fresh—elegant, tailored, and thoughtfully designed for contemporary family living. Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles is working with 19 top designers across the Southeast and several companies to bring the home to life and create a memorable spring event.
