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.

Inside, the building comes alive with a new entry forecourt. Refreshing an understated doorway, a grand entry sequence and formal entry plaza was created. The main lobby was opened up with use of large glass paneling to allow more light and create a fresher feel that also builds connection to the street. All of the interior finishes were refreshed with the use of large format tile and rich warm wood tones. The finishes were carried throughout corridors and the building’s common spaces.

The rear employee entry was updated with a grand procession through a monumental stair to welcome employees to the building. A large outdoor monumental stair was added to the parking area and a new landscaped crosswalk. The area was renovated and secured with gating and fencing and opened up with clear lighting.
