Another showhouse on our list of favorite projects from 2016 comes from the beloved Southern Living magazine. Each year, Southern Living chooses a host city for its Idea House, and then works with a local builder, architect and interior designer to execute a custom built and fully decorated home for its readers.
It's a must that we close our look back at 2016 showhouses with a classic - the Home for the Holidays Designer Showhouse presented by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine. FireRock's masonry fireplaces (5 indoor units total!) and slate roofing were used in the 2015 Home for the Holidays Designer Showhouse — a 15,000 square foot home located in Buckhead's Millwood Manor, just outside of Atlanta, GA.
For FireRock, 2016 was the year for showhouses. In addition to the Christopher Showhouse project, early 2016 debuted the inaugural Southeastern Designer Showhouse & Gardens presented by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine. The spring showhome included 25,000 square foot of living space and 6,000 square foot of outdoor space in Buckhead’s Tuxedo Park neighborhood, and was opened to the public in early April.
As this year comes to a close, we're featuring FireRock's greatest hits of 2016 - the projects we loved and the highlights. To begin our look back, we're showcasing the project that kicked off this year with a bang.
