Nestled along the Cahaba River in Bibb County, Alabama, this peaceful river retreat was designed with generations of family traditions in mind. It's a favorite for good reason. Its natural materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and timeless character reflect the warmth, beauty, and connection that make this time of year so special.

From locally milled timber and gorgeous stone to a custom-designed, long-planked roof system and shingles crafted from the bark of local poplar trees, every detail makes this home truly special. It’s a project we’re still incredibly proud of all these years later.

Take a look back at the process in this throwback video, narrated by Louis Nequette himself. A timeless favorite worth revisiting.

One of the questions we hear most often: “Does Nequette still design single-family custom homes?” Absolutely! For 27 years, we've been creating distinctive homes thoughtfully designed around the way people live.

Considering a major renovation? If you're looking to transform at least 80% of your existing home, we'd love to hear from you.

A home with good bones and the right vision can become something extraordinary. Let's reimagine what's possible together.

Cohesive planning improves absorption.

Most large projects lose cohesion over time. Architecture, branding, and experience get separated and identity gets added later, if at all.

What if you did this instead?

Design cohesion from the beginning.
• Establish a clear framework
• Reinforce identity across phases
• Align architecture and brand expression from day one
• Create a unified vision across every touchpoint

When branding and design are created together, you eliminate disconnects, streamline internal communication, and deliver a place where identity is felt not applied.

Turnkey integration under one roof doesn’t just save time it ensures the brand and built environment speak the same language.

Because cohesion isn’t added, it’s designed.

Great neighborhoods create value through connection, not just housing.

At Arise Knox Square, a 55+ living community integrated into a larger single-family neighborhood, the goal is to create more than a place to live. It’s to create a place to belong.

The data tells a compelling story:
• 73% of adults 50+ want to remain in their communities as they age.
• 74% consider safe, accessible sidewalks important to their community.
• Nearly 1 in 4 adults 65+ living independently in their communities experience social isolation.

What typically happens?
Developments focus on housing types, amenities, and density.
But overlook the everyday connections that turn a collection of homes into a neighborhood.

What if you did this instead?
Design connection into the neighborhood from the beginning.
• Create walkable streets that encourage daily interaction.
• Integrate 55+ living into a broader neighborhood rather than separating generations.
• Make shared greens, gathering spaces, and pedestrian connections part of everyday life.
• Design homes around a community, not simply alongside one another.

At Arise Knox Square, we’re approaching neighborhood design with the understanding that the spaces between buildings can be just as valuable as the buildings themselves.

Because great neighborhoods don’t just create places to live. They create reasons to stay, relationships that last, and value that grows through belonging.

“Every finish, fixture, and layout decision was thoughtfully considered to create a cohesive experience where each element feels connected to the next. The magic lies not in any one feature, but in how the entire space comes together to feel effortless, inviting, and complete.” ~Principal Interior Designer, Sarah Jelks
