Joel Kelly Design has designed this modern Balinese style house located in the heart of Brookhaven, a city in the northeastern suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. The owners requested a resort-style atmosphere reminiscent of the South Pacific. A courtyard-style house completely frames the views once inside the home and creates an inward-looking house focused on a spectacular courtyard pool.
The exterior facade is characterized by roof overhangs, a wood-shake roof, and cedar-shake siding, lending a crisp yet textured appearance. The material palette reinforces the modern-island vibe that the homeowners were looking for, including the use of stacked stone that has a ‘volcanic’ connection due to color and layering.

Above: This private courtyard creates the feeling of an escape away from city life. With a ground-level surface, the pool was left with a dark finish to give the appearance of a mirror on the ground.
Above: The homeowners are doctors who wanted their dream home to reflect a modern Balinese style, a place where they could unwind after long workdays. The material palette encompasses wood, glass, and stone. Low-pitched eaves on the roof and a relaxing water element complete the resort-inspired aesthetic.
Above: The dwelling wraps around a central courtyard featuring a sleek pool and a firepit for evening-time warmth and ambiance. A seamless indoor-outdoor connection was established, where just about every room in the home offers a view of the pool.
Above: The great room features cherry wood flooring, cedar beams, a stacked stone-and-slab fireplace, and 15 hand-blown glass pendant lights hung at varying lengths. In the evening, they appear like lanterns through the windows. Adding texture into this space, Palacek chairs with rope accents. Sofas are by Verellen covered in Perennials fabric.

What We Love: This modern Balinese style house delivers a serene and relaxing atmosphere for a couple of working professionals. Warm and inviting living spaces have been developed through a layering of natural textures throughout this home. A mix of antiques and natural woods brings an organic and calming feel to the modern design. Outdoors, a heavenly courtyard with a patio and swimming pool provides the owners with an oasis in the city.
