We’re proud to announce that four of our projects were selected as winners in the 2022 Building Birmingham Awards by the Birmingham Business Journal. These awards recognize the projects that are changing the face of the Magic City and were chosen based on their impact, their degree of difficulty and unique aspects, among many other factors.

One Highland

One Highland Place was transformed into a prominent office building located on Highland Avenue in Birmingham, AL. The building’s full refresh starts with the repositioning of a dated office building into a fresh and impactful workplace. Taking a former plain, flat brick façade, the entry was transformed into a modern and impactful street presence. The vision started by using precast stone and glass additions to create a lighter, brighter more impactful environment.

The new building look sets a precedence for the commercial revitalization for the Highland Avenue Area. Although there are many businesses in the area, this grand new presence acts as a keystone for reinvigorating the area with a fresh new impact. Along with recent new developments, this impact is a catalyst for improving energy and revitalization of the area.

Telegraph

The design juxtaposes an ultra-contemporary office studio with industrial finishes and rustic wood elements.  The design provides innovative solutions to create an open office environment that sparks increased collaboration and creativity throughout the space with a stadium-seating meeting room, café, dramatic conference rooms, and cozy reading nooks. The project repurposes the existing space in a way that was going to be modern, flexible, and utilized modern materials for a dramatic and open environment.

The design for the new Telegraph office creates an ultra-contemporary studio achieved in a rustic, industrial setting. The vision was to create an informal work environment where employees could work and relax in the same space. One of Birmingham’s iconic landmarks is the Rainbow Tunnel, recreated in the hallway with recessed LED linear lights provide a unique landmark within the space

The Estelle

The Estelle sets a new standard for apartment living in Birmingham, with a design focused on placemaking and community building. Located at a crucial intersection between Lakeshore and Interstate 65, this new 280 unit living area connects downtown Birmingham, key retail areas and universities.

In a newly revitalized area, The Estelle provides the bridge between downtown and suburban living. Located on a burgeoning trail system that connects the area to local campuses and retail centers, residents are able to escape the hustle of city life and remain within easy walks to the new urban energy. 

Luckie

Luckie focused on moving its headquarters from the suburbs to the downtown Parkside area in an effort to envision their office for the next generation. Citing tremendous growth over the past few years, the company is now the primary commercial tenant in the historic Denham Building which has been redeveloped for mixed-use. The new space fosters a live-work-play environment for the employees as a model space in the Magic City.

To ensure employees thrive when collaborating in the office the new space was designed with the idea of where people will meet and not where they will sit. Designed to foster those interpersonal relationships, the new environment is completely open with Zoom and wireless setups and also include a video production space
