Saunders Bridge is a community built around the centerpiece of a 100-year old historic covered bridge along Lake Lauralee south of Birmingham, Alabama. In keeping with Alabama’s folk vernacular architecture, I planned this community with the idea that the houses and their materials would blend with the surrounding lake and trees. The nature-rich environment allows lakeside homes to engage the water and mountainside homes to climb up the mountains which are the foothills of the Appalachians.
