Craftsman – Trussville
A modern interpretation of Southern craftsmanship, blending timeless detailing, warm materials, and spaces designed for family life.
Location
Trussville, Alabama
Project Overview
Craftsman character, built for lasting family roots.
This custom Craftsman home in Trussville, Alabama is taking shape on a wooded lot surrounded by tall pines — a peaceful setting that inspired its design. Built by Riveroak Building Company, the home blends traditional proportions with modern construction methods, using a strong wood frame, dimensional roofing, and a weather-protected envelope to ensure decades of durability.
Once complete, the residence will feature warm exterior materials, detailed trimwork, and a layout tailored to everyday family life — open gathering spaces, quiet bedrooms, and light-filled transitions that bring the outdoors in. Every board, beam, and finish reflects our commitment to building homes with soul and staying power.
