November 2020 – Architect Birmingham AL, Line Scale Form

"It’s all in the details." Details are important

"It’s all in the details." Details are important and a great opportunity to add something special to a project. After numerous renovations and significant deferred maintenance, the front façade of this former “Silver’s 5¢ & $1.00” was almost windowless. The façade renovation returned the circa 1920’s building to a more historic appearance and made it more attractive to potential tenants. The new façade features granite pilaster “bookends”, limestone panels similar to the original design, and storefront framing with clear insulated glass. The building’s Second Floor aligns with that of The 1900 Building, providing a single 9000sf tenant space.

We're all looking forward to being able to gather

We're all looking forward to being able to gather large groups of people together inside buildings again. The Pratt City Library is a beautiful, light-filled public space where we can come together, research, learn, study and read. Severely damaged in the April 2011 tornadoes, the building renovation provides a new symbol of hope, recovery, and progress, and a “living room for the community”. The design gleans much of the former library’s exterior and reconstructs the primary reading room as a glass “lantern” overseeing the neighborhood. The lantern symbolizes the light of knowledge, while evoking the coal mining heritage of the neighborhood. The facility incorporates multiple museum-quality displays of historic artifacts, and features a tornado safe room.

We're celebrating the University of Alabama at Bir

We're celebrating the University of Alabama at Birmingham for being named America's BEST Large Employer 2021 by @Forbes this week! For anyone who missed it, Forbes named UAB #1 on the list of 500 large companies selected. UAB is at the center of so many incredible innovations, medical care, student and community life in Birmingham, Alabama and the southeast region. "The University of Alabama at Birmingham is no ordinary institute of higher education. Not only are its 23,000 employees responsible for the education and well-being of more than 22,000 students, but many have also been tasked with caring for thousands of pandemic-stricken patients." We were also thrilled to catch this photo of UAB's Hill Center, our first project at UAB, in the article. We’ve had the privilege to work with UAB over the years and can’t wait to unveil the UAB Technology Innovation Center soon! Follow this link to read the entire article and see the list - https://www.forbes.com/sites/kristinstoller/2021/02/09/meet-americas-best-large-employers-2021/?sh=6f6c66d91376

Heading into the weekend, we're sharing this comme

Heading into the weekend, we're sharing this commercial project in beautiful downtown Birmingham - the 1900 Building, located across Nineteenth Street from the public plaza of the McWane Center. It features brick-and-caststone facades with tinted glass and clear anodized window framing. Occupying the site of a former historic building, the exterior includes such references to the former building as detailed brickwork and paired windows. Three decorative brick panels from the historic building are displayed in the main lobby.

#TBT! Looking back to an #LSFmultifamily residenti

#TBT! Looking back to an #LSFmultifamily residential duplex in a historic Birmingham Southside neighborhood, Phelan Flats creates two 2-bedroom / 2-bath dwellings in a “flat-over-flat” configuration. The structure was designed to blend into its historic surrounding by the use of similar size and materials, orientation to the street, and historic details. Phelan Flats was awarded LEED “Gold” certification by the US Green Building Council.

Located within walking distance of the local university and numerous community services, the project was conceptualized, developed, and designed by Line Scale Form and its in-house development company, Greenvine Properties.

Repost @uab_it
Progress is still being made at the UAB IT Technology Innovation Center. 🙌🏼 Before the holidays, our team took a peek inside to see the development. 🤩

We could not be happier for or more proud of LSF’s Elliot Brown! He is 1 of 16 architects named to @AIAGeorgja’s 2021 class of the Christopher Kelley Leadership Development Program (CKLDP)!

"This competitive program aims to train and inspire the next generation of leaders in architecture through a series of eight sessions focused on such topics as political engagement, civic leadership and community engagement, business development, professional practice and equity, diversity and inclusion. Christopher Kelley, AIA was an active member of the Washington, DC architectural community. After his sudden passing in 2012, this program was created by the D.C. AIA chapter to continue his legacy of leadership and activism."

Congratulations, Elliot! 🌟🌟🌟
