Together, the team of SFFAD and<br />
Kokopelli <strong>Build</strong>ers has created an exquisite<br />
mountain escape at Currahee<br />
Club, an exceptional mountain and<br />
lake community in north Georgia.<br />
Currahee is a founding member of<br />
the newly launched Southern Living<br />
Inspired Communities, a unique collection<br />
of residential developments<br />
that exemplifies the Southern Living<br />
lifestyle.<br />
TSFFAD specializes in residential and light commercial<br />
architecture, interiors and landscape design. Each plan is<br />
designed to the specific needs of the client with attention<br />
to the nature and context of the project’s environment.<br />
As such, the opportunity to design a Southern Living<br />
Inspired Home in Currahee is a dream fulfilled. The exquisite<br />
site, located in the foothills of the Appalachian<br />
Mountains on the shores of Lake Hartwell is an idyllic<br />
location for anyone who desires the Southern Living lifestyle.<br />
For this unique project, we drew upon inspiration<br />
gained through years of experience as a custom home<br />
design firm.<br />
Our many projects include revitalization of historic<br />
properties in and around Atlanta, as well as custom homes<br />
across the Southeast from South Carolina to Texas. We<br />
take pride in bringing our client’s vision to reality and<br />
responding creatively to the<br />
constraints of space, time and<br />
“Unlike<br />
many designers<br />
who impose<br />
a rigid<br />
style on their<br />
project, we<br />
strive to give<br />
each project<br />
the signature<br />
of our clients<br />
as well as our<br />
own.”<br />
budget. As a design team, we<br />
collaborate to conceive elegant<br />
and timeless solutions and constantly<br />
strive to build a lasting<br />
legacy. We believe our designs,<br />
including the Southern Living<br />
Inspired Home at Currahee,<br />
will endure and continue to delight<br />
for years to come.<br />
William “Liam” Simmons,<br />
Jr., AIA<br />
Liam’s passion for design<br />
was influenced by many<br />
sources, from the rustic natural<br />
beauty of Jungle Gardens<br />
created by his paternal greatgrandfather,<br />
Edward Avery<br />
McIlhenny, to the refined mid-century modern style and<br />
taste of his maternal grandfather, Paul Hemenway. He<br />
studied architecture at Auburn University under the tutelage<br />
of such prominent designers as Bobby McAlpine<br />
and David Braly and earned an accredited Bachelor of<br />
Architecture degree in 1991. Liam’s passion is in the<br />
authenticity and delight that exists uniquely in residential<br />
design. He founded his first company, InVintage <strong>Design</strong>s,<br />
Inc., in 2001 which evolved into Simmons | Fouts<br />
