More than 400 guests were on hand to raise a glass of bubbly in celebration of the grand opening of Sovereign and to get a private tour of the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles model home, exquisitely designed by Barbara Westbrook of Barbara Westbrook Interiors. The tour began with a viewing of the building's world-class art collection, curated by Todd Murphy and featuring his own work as well as work of Kathryn Refi, Deborah Butterfield and REM lead singer Michael Stipe. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were served on the two-story amenity level, spilling outdoors onto the pool and patio area. Event partners were Henriot Champagne, Swan's Neck Vodka and Dennis Dean Catering, Regent Partners and Atlanta Fine Homes/Sothebys International Realty.
