About Lost Rabbit

Architects

Charrette Designers: William Lewis Oliver, III

Originally from the Southwest Georgia/North Florida area, Oliver was influenced early by the indigenous and Greek Revival architecture that was found in the rural countryside. His passion for architecture spread to other styles and cultural influences, especially to that of the Classical world.

Oliver attended the School of Architecture at The Georgia Institute of Technology, working in the trade until graduating in 1984. He became the lead designer for Kessler Enterprise, Inc., facilitating and overseeing bank, hotel, commercial, and residential developments. Later Oliver began a freelance career, specializing in residential architecture and developing a passion for New-Urbanism.

He now serves as Town Architect/Designer for Vickery in North Atlanta, Clark’s Grove in Covington Georgia, and Serenbe in Southwest Atlanta. Oliver is active in planning large scale residential communities and developing urban codes for various traditional neighborhood projects. He is an active member of the New Urban Guild, and participates in charettes conducted by Andres Duany and Steve Mouzan.
