About River Brook

River Brook is more philosophy  than firm. We perform a singular, uninterrupted process where architecture, construction, and interiors are not separate entities, but artful movements within a whole composition.

To trust us is to flow gently down a current of complete clarity, where every question is resolved before the first shovel meets the ground. We design with such intentional foresight that footings may be placed according to sofa selection. Every detail is considered within the context of the whole. All that’s required of you is to settle in—with total ease and expectant joy.

River Brook is the seamless
convergence of art and execution,
eliminating the inefficiencies of
traditional homebuilding.

Our homes purposefully blend form and function. Our craftsmanship is quiet in its confidence and unmatched in its caliber.

With decades of experience, Kevin and Leigh Misso have redefined ‘full-service’. Kevin, a licensed homebuilder, brings acute understanding of construction, structural integrity, and material performance. Leigh, a Building Science graduate of Auburn University, applies her deeply architectural approach to interior design, ensuring that form and function are never in competition—only in concert. 

Under their leadership, River Brook has earned top industry accolades: Best in Show – Alabama Remodeling Excellence Awards (2022), HGTV Designer of the Year (2023), LUXE RED Award – Regional Winner (2024).
