Top 10 Residential Projects of 2020

By Kali Gibson

2020 Q4 Email Top Residential Projects

As we countdown to 2021, we're looking back on the best of 2020. It's been a difficult year, but we've been so inspired by all of the thoughtful, beautiful design that has happened amidst all of the challenges 2020 has brought. We're recapping some of our favorites here but for more, head to our Pinterest Board that has even more highlights from this past year. 

Ps. We love to see your projects! If you share on social, make sure to tag us and use #Fireclaytile

Here's our top 10:
