The Atlanta Sales and Marketing Council congratulates Focus Design Interiors for winning a Gold OBIE in the Best Interior Merchandising detached model $450,000 to $549,999 category for the Amber model at Soleil Laurel Canyon.

The Amber model perfectly captures the essence of the overall marketing plan for this mountainside, resort-lifestyle community. The interior design highlights the architecture and important functional features of this home. Warm and earthy colors combine with wood tone furnishings to accentuate the beauty of the outdoors and emotionally connect the mountain views with the living space. The effect makes this home feel more spacious than its size. The interior design details successfully speak to potential buyers who have grandchildren and who enjoy sharing their passion for living and the outdoors.
