Founded in 2007, MA! has evolved into Design is Human, Atlanta, a design event that promotes modern international design and culture. MA! has created a platform for cutting edge architects, interior designers and builders to showcase their work.

Nestled in old affluent neighborhood of Atlanta, a modern home has risen from the ashes. Ansley Park, dating back to 1904, was the first Atlanta suburban neighborhood designed for automobiles with its wide, winding roads rather than the grid pattern of normal streetcar suburbs of the time.

We met at their stunning modern home on the 22nd floor of the Luxe building in Midtown. Their home was one of several that had exquisite design elements which I found inspirational. Their clever installation of glass curtain walls created a contemporary fluidity indoors that blended seamlessly with their exterior spaces, thus satisfying their mutual love of the outdoors.

Smoky sliding glass cabinets in the kitchen niches concealed an assortment of small countertop appliances and dinnerware. Striata marble countertops elegantly juxtaposed with specially designed hardware from the Matthew Quinn Collection was the magnum opus throughout the home. The baths, with their meticulous attention to detail, were just as luxurious as the enticing view from the opulent soaking tub.

The Quinn/Parrish home is the epitome of perfection, blending form and function, organization and relaxation.
