The Home
Period Correct
One of Atlanta’s most storied Mid-Century Modern Homes effortlessly merges the outdoors in & blurs the lines between nature & HOME.
The Falls is a mid-century modern masterpiece that honors timeless design while embracing progressive innovation. Designed by renowned Atlanta architect Herbert Millkey, the home is a showcase of natural materials and meticulous craftsmanship—from hand-selected stone to wormy chestnut paneling milled from a single, historic tree. Every element inside reflects a commitment to organic architecture, with walls of glass that dissolve the boundaries between structure and setting, and private balconies extending from every bedroom overlooking the dramatic, ever-present waterfall.
Spanning three unique levels, the home is designed for flexibility and generational living, including an award-winning “age-in-place” addition that functions as a fourth bedroom, private studio, or guest retreat. The interiors flow seamlessly, anchored by a recently updated kitchen connected by sight lines that always lead back to The Falls. A spa-like primary suite boasts a Japanese-inspired garden and bath, creating a personal retreat that feels rooted in calm and balance.
Throughout the home, there's a constant sense of movement and stillness—of water, wood, and stone working together in quiet harmony. Expansive outdoor living spaces are thoughtfully designed for year-round enjoyment, offering spaces to gather, reflect, or simply listen to the water. The Falls is not just a home, but a living experience—where architecture doesn’t sit on the land, it becomes part of it.
