It’s that view looking across the courtyard at the fireplace Burton describes as his favorite.
“There’s something about the gas lamp on top of the chimney and the extra height,” he says. “I love that space; it’s just beautiful.”
Naturally, Burton is proud of the awards the project has garnered, but he says even more significant for him is that he and the clients were on the same page.
“I’m most proud of how, when I presented my drawing, she said, ‘You nailed it,’” Burton says. “She saw my vision from the very beginning. She felt confident my company would install exactly what I was selling in words and design.”
And, Southview did deliver, even though access to the backyard was difficult.
“You can only do so much with a skid-loader in a small space,” he says. “For this project, a lot of it was done by hand. However, I think it’s the kind of challenge that makes the installers and the homeowners appreciate the end result.”
