Johanna and Jonas Reisinger were attracted to the modern simplicity of this white house on a quiet Morningside street as well as its structure. “Coming from Stuttgart, Germany, Jonas wanted a house made of cinder block and concrete, not wood frame and plywood, which is so common in the U.S.,” says Johanna. “Our home is basically a bunker you can’t get a cell-phone signal unless you walk outside!”

Johanna and Jonas Reisinger describe their style as “a blend of European simplicity with Southern comfort.” After all, Johanna is a native Atlantan, and Jonas grew up in Stuttgart, Germany. A modern home in Morningside, originally designed by architect Brad Heppner, provided a polished setting for distilling the best of both their worlds.
