Sovereign Serenity
It’s all about the view at the higher
levels of the Sovereign in Atlanta.
Residents who occupy the 28th to
50th floors in Buckhead Atlanta’s
tallest mixed-use building, are treated
to a jaw-dropping view from
nearly every room.
THIS UNIT, ON THE 39TH FLOOR, WAS ALREADY
a spacious, 3300-sq.foot, two-bedroom, two-bath condominium.
Still, it was lacking some finishing touches,
needing to be refined and polished for efficiency and luxury.
“There’s an abundance of custom features,” explains
Lowell Figur, Glazer Design & Construction’s Project
Manager for this contract. Automated LED lighting and
blinds, newly stained Lauzon floors, venetian plaster
walls, ostrich skin-textured wallpaper, custom closets...
the deliciously decadent list goes on, even including a
custom make-up drawer in the bathroom for the missus.
“
By not dropping down a chandelier over the
table, it affords a clear view of the city, which is
the reason the clients own this condo.
Chairs in grey leather with a touch of chrome
are just low enough not to block the view or to
seem heavy. The carpet by Stark defines the
space in grey and white.
The pedestal in the corner of the dining room
(image at left) is the base for a Corbin bronze
statuette. I love the way her skirt pulls your eye
into the room.
The living room has two Arhaus custom chairs
covered in Travis and Company fabric. They swivel,
which works so well in this room.
