Address: 3 Canterbury Park, Mobile, AL 36608
Canterbury Park is a gated residential subdivision beautifully situated on over 2.7 acres in the heart of Spring Hill in Mobile, Alabama. Twelve private lots make up the exceptional community where each home plan has been exclusively designed by McCown Design in keeping with an attractive and timeless aesthetic. Canterbury Park caters to those who want to reside in a secure high-end community and minimize the worries of everyday property maintenance. It is the perfect place for those who desire to down size, no matter the stage of life, but don't want to compromise a high quality lifestyle. The development and design team have carefully planned each and every detail to make this community a unique and beautiful place to call home. At the rear of the neighborhood, you will find a peaceful and scenic pond complete with a water feature and a pea gravel walking path. The street lamps are copper gas lanterns which were designed and handcrafted by local business Charleston Lighting.

ARCHITECT: Robert McCown | McCown Design

McCown Design is a boutique architecture firm based in Mobile with a passion for beauty and perfection. They create curated places to truly live, with designs that are intentionally timeless and diverse with a touch of modern. The ability to listen and an attention to detail are second nature for Matt Wheeler, lead designer, and Robert McCown, owner. The pair have a synergy that shows in their work. They truly enjoy collaborating on a home that not only shelters but also nurtures what it means to be “home.” Robert McCown attended architecture school at Norwich University for 2 years. He graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor of Architecture. Robert has worked for high-end residential and boutique commercial firms in Texas, New York and Alabama prior to starting McCown Design in his hometown.

BUILDER: Bernard Wood | BW Construction

BW Construction has one driving force – don’t build a structure, craft a home. That has been their motto for over 13 years now. Homes are built from the ground up; you must pay as much attention to the initial phases of home construction as you do the finishing touches. The BW team is fueled by a desire to build more than just the structure of a house but to craft distinctive custom homes that embrace the personality and lifestyle of each homeowner. At the heart of the company’s blueprint is the ability to procure the highest level of master trades and craftsmen, the valiant pursuit of quality materials and the laser-focused coordination of every fine detail. Organization and communication are the signature attributes that keep their clients informed and in step throughout the building process.
