Conceptual Design Approved for Children's of Alabama Project
Williams Blackstock Architects is excited to be working with Children's of Alabama to design their new office space and parking deck.
“This project will help to relieve parking congestion on our campus by adding this much-needed parking for staff, we can also dedicate space closer to the hospital itself for our patients’ families and visitors. There are many days, especially during cold and flu season, when our current parking is, quite frankly, inadequate.”

Cahaba Brewing Company
- Merit Award- AIA, Gulf States Region
In the spirit of revitalization that is moving through Birmingham, Alabama, the four partners of Cahaba Brewing Company took their love of craft beer, motivated by its growing popularity in the region, as an opportunity to expand their brewery and taproom. The 21,000SF renovated space and $65/SF minimal budget was not a hindrance but the foundation for tactful design decisions.
