Atlanta, Ga. (Aug. 9, 2001) - The Borghese's luxurious model homes ­ designed by the award-winning Toronto-based design firms of Chapman Design, Ltd., and Norma King Design, Inc. - continue to generate strong interest among prospective homeowners. The exhibit marks the first design projects in Atlanta for both firms and is representative of the elegant and sophisticated Italian-style of The Borghese.
