Celebrated as one of Atlanta’s most iconic residences, the 1926 ‘Pink Palace’ by famed architect Philip Trammell Shutze has been thoughtfully restored under the vision of Francois & Co. founder Thierry François alongside interior designer Melanie Turner. Inspired by Venetian architecture and rich in ornamental detail, the home stands as a remarkable tribute to timeless craftsmanship, architectural preservation, and enduring design.

In Atlanta, Philip Trammell Shutze’s famed Pink Palace returns to glory with a careful reclaiming of the architect’s Venetian chapel-inspired vision.
“There’s nothing prettier than Atlanta in the spring,” declares interior designer Melanie Turner, who has lived in the city for 45 years. She points to the area of Buckhead around West Paces Ferry Road, where from March to May, glorious blooming dogwoods, azaleas, and redbuds enliven the grounds of some of the city’s most spectacular and historic residences. “It’s just one home after the next that is grand and beautiful,” she says.
