One of our favorite architectural photographers and bloggers, Blayne Beacham of This Photographer’s Life, also happens to be a very talented fine artist, and she’s putting on a super show with The Artist Trifecta gallery next week on Thursday, July 29. We think of it as an incredible opportunity to see an artful new perspective from former photojournalist—and current member of the Beacham & Company Realtors team—Beacham, who is now represented at The Artist Trifecta after winning top honors in a stiff competition against other photographers earlier this month: a 12-hour scavenger hunt challenging creativity, dexterity and technical ability.

The opening reception on Thursday will represent her first private show and display the “Dress Up” series, comprising black-and-white photos of full-length dresses, crumpled and drifting elegantly through black water, that have been a year in the making. Works from “Wonderland,” the series that won her the title at The Artist Trifecta’s July 9 event, will also be on display through August 14. Be on the lookout for how ingeniously these works meld together. Books and prints of the featured works will be available for purchase, as well.

If that’s not enough of a draw, a dozen rare and priceless works by Salvador Dalí will also be on display during this private preview. Interested guests must e-mail art@artisttrifecta.com or call the gallery at (404) 388-8757 to R.S.V.P.

I’m kicking off my weekend enamored with this 16,000-square-foot Beaux Arts-style home at 981 Davis Drive N.W. listed for $12 million by Glennis Beacham with Beacham & Co.

The home has impressed others too, as the recipient of a 2008 Shutze Award (in the residential/single-family–over 10,000 square feet category) from the Institute of Classic Architecture and Classical America.

You’ll see these Beaux Arts-style features in the design by architect Historical Concepts, which also incorporated materials and details from the Second Italian Renaissance Revival:

  • Grand stair rising up from the central hall
  • Large rooms with high ceilings arranged in an “H” pattern to from front and rear courtyard
  • Entry porch with pediments supported by classical columns
  • Stone balustrades at the balconies

The seven-bedroom, seven full and three-half bath home was built from 2003 to 2006 on the site of the owners’ former ranch home.

Holiday House

We’re waiting to see if agent Troy Stowe can get the Atlanta Holiday House and Decorators Show Home, priced at $14.5 million, under contract by the time it closes on Sunday. It’s possible – the holiday house listed by Stowe two years ago, also another Steven West Custom Homes creation, went under contract for $7 million at the end of the 2007 show.

Of course, it’s a tougher market this year and buyers are more cautious. And the price tag on the 7-bedroom, 9-full and 4-half bath French estate at 3410 Ridgewood Road, with approximately 20,000 square feet, is twice as much.

The Beacham & Co. agent admits they broke ground on the Buckhead home when the market was performing better, but they “couldn’t look back. We couldn’t stop. We felt like we’ve created something very special.”

In all that space, there’s seven fireplaces, a six-car garage, and imported French limestone floors and molding makes a stunning statement in rooms such as the foyer and keeping room. Among the other features: an indoor sport court with 25-foot ceilings that Stowe hopes will attract an athlete or at least a buyer with an active lifestyle.

Sale of the Week: The Builder’s Personal Home
Glennis Beacham with Beacham & Co. Realtors just picked up this personal 5-bedroom, 5 ½-bath home of builder Shaba Derazi, listed for $1.9 million in Brookhaven Lakes and built in 2006. 
The home at 715 Trimble Walk Lane (http://beacham.com/propertyfinder/propertyDetails.php?Type=RES&prop_type=residential&id=3950464) doesn’t go cheap on the finishes, which are all top of the line and typically found in homes of $3 million or more, dishes Beacham.
