2022 AIA Alabama Design Awards – Honor Award Gul

2022 AIA Alabama Design Awards – Honor Award
Gulf State Park Learning Campus and Woodside Restaurant
Gulf Shores, Alabama

A hub for park visitors, K-12 students, rotating researchers, and park staff, the Gulf State Park Learning Campus offers classrooms, laboratories, flexible meeting spaces, and lodging options.

Built on a previously developed area in an evergreen forest, this LEED Silver awarded project demonstrates sustainable building practices and cultivates stewardship through interactive environmental programming. The site design of the Campus encourages visitors to park the car and use a network of pedestrian trails, creating various experiences amid native longleaf pines and live oaks. The Student Lodge, equipped with 64 bunk beds and 2 private rooms, and a Community Restaurant are a short walk-in-the-woods away from a collection of Classrooms and a 200-seat Auditorium. Connected by boardwalks and characterized by screened porches nestled under the trees, the Classrooms and Auditorium provide a variety of learning opportunities. Together, they form the Park’s primary learning destination for exhibits and formal research.

ArchitectureWorks worked with The Son of a Butcher

ArchitectureWorks worked with The Son of a Butcher to renovate an existing building in the Pepper Place District into a bespoke butcher shop. Be sure to head over this weekend for all your grilling and tailgating needs and check out their weekly sandwich menu @thesonofabutcher_bham!

This flagship retail outlet for @evansmeatsandseafood creates a warm, customer-focused experience that places the fresh meats, seafood, and specialty food products in the foreground of a bespoke butcher shop.

The project brings new life to a non-descript 60’s era building in the revitalized district of @pepperplacebham. New façade elements combine traditional and modern design, creating an exterior identity consistent with the high quality, understated fit and finish of the interior.

The design of the retail space employs a simple palette of stainless-steel fixtures and utilitarian tile finishes in subtle contrast to custom white oak cabinetry and finish carpentry, providing a complimentary backdrop to the shop's high-quality products. The simple presentation of the retail shop belies the complex mechanical, plumbing, and food handling requirements more typically found in much larger industrial facilities.

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.
