Owner: Birchfield Penuel Architects

Location: Homewood, AL

Project Size: 8,000 SF

Located in a 1960s office building in downtown Homewood, BPA has called this space home since 1987. As the firm grew, a major renovation transformed the multi-tenant building into a cohesive, light-filled workspace. A new stair addition and glass storefront connected both floors, while modern materials refreshed the exterior. Inside, an open studio concept maximized collaboration and natural light, with thoughtful amenities like nourishment stations, breakout spaces, and a quiet room. This redesign reflects BPA’s commitment to innovation and workplace well-being.
