Total Dermatology

Business Interiors is proud to have provided comprehensive wall solutions for Total Dermatology during the substantial expansion of their downtown Birmingham location. This 25,000 sq ft, two-floor project was part of the continued historical renovation of the Woodward Building. Birmingham firm CCR Architecture and Interiors led the project design, with Rives Construction serving as the general contractor.

Precision Scope and Acoustic Priority

The primary challenge was maintaining privacy within the clinical setting. Specifically, client confidentiality was crucial, making soundproofing a vital factor. Falkbuilt effectively addressed this issue by integrating insulation into the solid walls to enhance acoustic performance. As a result, the walls achieved STC ratings of up to STC 53, effectively minimizing sound transfer between rooms.

Business Interiors provided the full Falkbuilt wall solution, totaling 2,906 lineal feet across two floors. The scope included walls for key areas: the lobby, exam rooms, waiting rooms, procedure rooms, conference rooms, offices, restrooms, kitchen, bar, and storage rooms.

Architectural Versatility

BI’s Architectural Product division collaborated closely with CCR on the project’s design development. We offered 3-D virtual walkthroughs of the space, along with plans, elevations, finish options, and renderings prior to finalizing the design. The project clearly highlights the versatility of Falkbuilt’s robust solutions, which included a diverse range of materials and functions:

  • Wall Types: The installation featured solid walls, glass walls, glass transoms, curved glass transoms, curved stacked solid walls, graphic laminated glass, and an operable wall.

  • Door Types: We included pivot and sliding doors, glass and wood doors, lever set and bar pull hardware, and access control hardware.

  • Cladding: Finishes utilized 3D laminate, woodgrain laminate, back painted glass, custom graphic glass, and fabric cladding.

Integrated Millwork

Falkbuilt solutions were successfully used for all custom millwork throughout the facility. This provided seamless integration and consistency. The millwork scope covered all custom cabinetry, including exam rooms, procedure rooms, nurse stations, kitchen cabinets, bar cabinets, work areas, storage, and wardrobe cabinets, as well as all solid surfaces.

Total Dermatology offers a variety of specialized dermatological services, including medical, surgical, and cosmetic treatments. Their full-service spa, Total on 1st, is also located in the downtown Woodward Building. It provides a range of spa and medical-grade skincare services, further establishing the Woodward Building as a comprehensive wellness hub.

Parry Labs

Parry Labs recently expanded their Huntsville, AL, footprint into a new 36,000-square-foot location. As a government contractor, the new location gives Parry Labs easier access to Redstone Arsenal, The Gateway, and Bridge Street Town Center. Their innovative hardware products and digitally engineered technology platforms give the U.S. Department of Defense a fighting edge and upgraded capacity across all their services.

Huntsville’s Fuqua & Partners Architects was the A+D firm on the project, which spearheaded the daunting task of renovating a former Tyson chicken facility and test kitchen into what would become Parry Labs’ new, modern office. Business Interiors’ Huntsville team has a long relationship with Parry Labs, including working on several other locations around the United States.

The furniture and wall system scope throughout the project included the integration of Falkbuilt walls, the coordinated move of 24 existing workstations from their previous location, and the addition of 40 new workstations, as well as new private offices, multi-use and collaborative spaces, conference rooms, and a large break room.

Birchfield Penuel Architects

Business Interiors is proud to have provided both furniture and wall solutions in Birchfield Penuel Architects’ newly renovated office building.

Reopened last November, the BPA team transformed the 1960’s office building, their home since 1987, into a spectacular new headquarters. The building was originally a multi-tenant space, but as BPA grew, so did their footprint. Rather than move to a different location, BPA connected the two floors with a new central staircase and new building entrance. Down came the aggregate wall panels, and up came the full-height glass, along with other architectural elements.

The interior also underwent a complete overhaul—new offices, breakroom, library, conference, and meeting spaces. New paint, new flooring, new furniture—almost new everything.

The private offices and workstations are Knoll solutions, and Amcase provided much of the storage. The Architectural Products team provided Falk solutions for the glass fronts on the private offices and a Taz Dual Telescoping Wall solution for one of the conference rooms.

The overall project is a stunning success, and it is our honor to have played a small part in Birchfield Penuel Architects’ next chapter.

Harmony Venture Labs

Business Interiors’ Architectural Products team is proud to have worked with CCR Architecture & Interiors on the Harmony Venture Labs project.

Harmony Venture Labs is a start-up incubator located in what was an old warehouse in Birmingham, Alabama. Their mission is to launch, grow, and support startup companies.

CCR brought the former warehouse into the modern era with functional and aesthetic solutions that are reflective of the HVL brand. This included working with the National Park Service to maintain and protect the building’s timber framing and interior and exterior brick masonry.

It was the job of BI’s Architectural Products team to provide solutions that complimented the integrity of the renovated building and that aligned with CCR’s vision for their client. Our team worked with the project architects, providing 253 linear feet of Falk glass front wall solutions, including sliding barn doors, as well as a Fräsch acoustical wall that was both functional and elemental to the space’s design.
