We are pleased to announce that the Hugh S. Branyo

We are pleased to announce that the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama has been named the Best Recreational Trail in the country by the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards! ArchitectureWorks worked with the State of Alabama and the Department of Natural Resources to design and implement more than 25 miles of trails across Gulf State Park, creating loop systems to encourage visitors’ education of the various ecosystems unique to the area. The vehicular-free system includes paved trails and elevated boardwalks connected to the beachfront trails by two pedestrian bridges. The trails create a universally accessible system for all ages and abilities to safely experience the entirety of the Park.

In addition to the trail system, our firm designed a variety of Pause Places along the trails to escape the heat of the summer and the cold winter winds. The respites are scattered throughout the Park, and each creates a unique experience at its location. The Pause Places also create informal meeting places where visitors are encouraged to meet one another and share experiences. A full trail system sign package was designed and implemented in collaboration with Robert Finkel. Interpretive signs designed by James Hersick are also scattered along the trail system, evoking historical and ecological narratives.

The trail was nominated by a panel of relevant experts, including editors from USA Today, editors from 10Best.com, and other contributors.

Interpretive Graphics Design: Hersick + Webster
Trail Signs Design: Robert Finkel

2022 AIA Birmingham Design Awards – Honor Award

2022 AIA Birmingham Design Awards – Honor Award
The Chestnut Residence

The renovation of this 1950's brick rancher in Leeds, Alabama is designed to connect to the surrounding forest through large expanses of glass, a gracious screen porch, and welcoming entry terraces. The new spaces sit within the original footprint, reducing site disturbance and retaining the mature forest close to the house.

The existing exterior brick was retained and painted creating a datum line at the original bearing plate. A new screen porch sits within the footprint of the original carport and connects to the living room via nine foot tall bi-folding glass door panels. The interior palette was designed to bring warmth throughout the house with exposed cedar structure, rift-sawn white oak floors, and unlacquered brass fixtures. Modest bedrooms on the upper level feel larger thanks to a new mono-slope roof offering high ceilings and generous views.

A drastic elevation change at the front of the house was addressed through a gracious entry stair that rises through large weathering steel planters, connecting the upper yard and screened porch to a new butterfly-roof carport. A large steel fireplace anchors the living space and speaks to these steel retaining walls at the entry.

Warm wishes for the season from everyone here at A

Warm wishes for the season from everyone here at ArchitectureWorks!

Indian Springs School celebrated the opening of it

Indian Springs School celebrated the opening of its Community Commons last week. This new 12,000 SF facility is the latest addition to the 350-acre campus and serves not only as a dining facility but also as a much-needed gathering hub for students throughout the day. Sprawling lakeside porches provide outdoor covered space, extending seating opportunities. The original, iconic bell that sat atop the original dining hall was restored and now rests in its new home at the front door. Fantastic client and team!

The People love The Son of A Butcher! Architecture

The People love The Son of A Butcher! ArchitectureWorks was so excited to receive the People’s Choice Award at the 2022 AIA Alabama Excellence in Design Awards for The Son of A Butcher. This award is very special because it is voted on by our peers attending the state conference on architecture. We are pretty sure the People were as focused on the amazing selection of meats, seafood, and specialty food items that are showcased inside this renovation of a nondescript 60’s era building in the Pepper Place District of Birmingham. As with most great projects, we were fortunate to have an excellent client and partner in @evansmeatandseafood.
