Last night, Corey and I had the pleasure of attending the grand launch of The Design House, an exciting new storefront by our talented friend Dawn of The Heuer Design Collective. Dawn’s vision for The Design House is simple yet profound: create spaces that are not only beautiful but designed to be lived in. From the kitchen island that doubles as a homework station to the formal dining room that hosts tea parties for giggling girls and stuffed animals, her philosophy is clear — great design is about function, warmth, and lasting comfort.

A Space Designed to Inspire

As soon as we stepped inside The Design House, we were immediately struck by the calming atmosphere. The space, located in Atlanta’s vibrant Inman Park at 655 Highland Ave NE, is an elegant haven in the middle of the bustling city. Earthy tones reminiscent of the Cotswolds (like this project here!) create a tranquil environment, making it feel like a true retreat. Despite being in the heart of Atlanta, this space offers respite from the fast-paced world outside, allowing visitors to unwind and take in the carefully curated design pieces.

What makes The Design House unique is the blend of contemporary design with timeless comfort. Dawn’s philosophy shines through in every corner. The shop is filled with beautifully crafted items from local artisans, each piece selected with the intention of enhancing a home in ways that feel both personal and practical.

Working with Dawn and The Heuer Design Collective

We’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Dawn and her team over the past few years, capturing the essence of her design work through interior design photography. Her attention to detail and unwavering commitment to creating spaces that people can truly live in have made every project a joy to work on. We loved working with her to capture JJ’s Flower Shop’s newest storefront and this beautiful Kirkwood Laundry Room Renovation. The launch of The Design House feels like the natural next step in her journey, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for her as she continues to grow and inspire others.

It’s only just the beginning for this incredible venture. The space itself is an extension of Dawn’s thoughtful approach to design — a blend of artistry, functionality, and community. With an eye for local craftsmanship and a deep commitment to making design accessible, The Design House is sure to become a beloved fixture in the local design scene and community.
