As designer and architect on the project, WATERSHED was proud to partner with some amazing local professionals to create a durable and resilient home that allows its occupants to live luxuriously next to nature while reducing their environmental footprint.
Our Green Inspiration Home was presented as the Mobile Bay Magazine's 2021 Inspiration Home and celebrates a healthy coastal lifestyle and a healthy environment, with beauty and style.
