Saunders Bridge is nestled in the mountains south of Birmingham. This lake setting house takes its forms from Alabama’s folk vernacular architecture incorporating simple gabled roofs and shed dormers. I planned this community with the idea that the houses and their materials would blend with the surrounding lake and trees.
Set out on a small peninsula, the house’s terraces take in the lake view.
The boathouse allows quick access to water fun.
A cathedral-like space is accentuated by the local stone fireplace.
