Meet the Team Behind the Home

Builder: Francis Bryant Construction

Since their beginnings in 1960, attention to detail and excellence has always set Francis Bryant Construction apart. John Bryant and Kevin Gann lead a team of construction specialists with a portfolio of over 600 custom homes worth over a half billion dollars that sets the standard for excellence in the industry. They’ve built dream projects in the heart of the city and the suburbs as well as lakefronts, hunting preserves and farms.

Architect: Long & Long Design

Long & Long Design is an architectural design partnership between Richard and Lynielle Long. The husband and wife team both graduated from Auburn University’s architecture program in 2004, and spent 11 years honing their craft individually with distinguished architecture firms before creating Long & Long Design in 2015. Since then, they have completed multiple residential and commercial projects across the Southeast. For the 2018 Inspiration Home, they have designed a cottage that lives large, blends well with the community, but will stand apart thanks to its fresh, classic style.

Design Liaison: Jan Ware

Designer Jan Ware knows that a home is only as beautiful is the way it makes you feel. Jan has infused many Birmingham and beyond homes with personal, comfortable style that is at once elegant and approachable. For this Inspiration Home, Jan will work with Francis Bryant and Long & Long to create a palette for local designers to showcase their take on style and what it means to live well.
