M2 is a 70,000 sf modern workplace serving enterpr

M2 is a 70,000 sf modern workplace serving enterprises and entrepreneurs operating in light manufacturing, production design, and other creative industries. It seeks to gather organizations, established companies, startups, and individuals that might not otherwise work together and give them a place and process to get things done.

Anchored by the Ghost Train Brewing Company’s second location, M2 occupies an important moment as the Red Rock Trail network continues to connect downtown Birmingham with its immediate suburbs. What was once 2nd Avenue South now serves as a transition between the industrial areas of Lakeview to the more commercial and entertainment focused Avondale.

Today members of the ArchitectureWorks team attend

Today members of the ArchitectureWorks team attended the ribbon cutting for the new museum at The Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Parsonage, which honors the history of Black builders in Birmingham during the early 20th century. Our involvement with the Church stretches back many years, and we're proud of the partnership and efforts in this phase of their restoration. September 15, 1963, is very significant for its place in the Civil Rights Movement as it marks the anniversary of the bombing of the Church.

Flagg Mountain is the centerpiece of Weogufka Stat

Flagg Mountain is the centerpiece of Weogufka State Park and the start of the Pinhoti Trail. Atop Flagg Mountain is a 40-foot tall Civilian Conservation Corp era stone Lookout Tower. After documenting the existing tower, the interior stair was replaced, allowing visitors unparalleled views of Alabama’s great forests. ArchitectureWorks collaborated with many partners on this project including Alabama Forestry Commission, Alabama Trails Foundations, Alabama Historical Commission, and University of Alabama’s Department of Economic Development and College of Archaeology.

Growing up, Hampton Stephens spent summers bunking at a cabin on the banks of this tucked-away spot outside Birmingham. But after she started a family, Stephens began scoping out an area nearby to call their own.

“Houses are usually vessels for interior living, but this design lends itself to being outside,” says architect Bruce Lanier. #SLHomes

Honor Award | Gulf State Park Learning Campus and Woodside Restaurant⁠
@ArchitectureWorks, LLP⁠

"The campus arrangement is lovely; it allows each building to be unique, without taking away from the whole. Each building appears to rest softly upon the sand and blend in with the landscape. Simple shapes and materials, but the design has elevated these to a higher pinnacle."⁠
