Baker Donelson | Birmingham Office

Business Interiors is proud to have been involved in the relocation of Baker Donelson’s Birmingham office earlier this year. One of the city’s largest law firms, Baker Donelson, moved from the Shipt Tower to 1901 Sixth Avenue (formerly known as Regions Harbert Plaza) as part of the company’s initiative to provide updated workspaces for their modern workforce.

KPS Group was the A+D firm on the project. The BI team was tasked with providing furnishing solutions that fulfilled Baker Donelson’s needs and aligned with KPS’s design intent.

The beautiful new office space includes flexible workspaces for hoteling, standard-sized individual offices, and communal areas for teamwork. A large employee lounge is one of several collaborative spaces, featuring comfortable seating and booths with charging outlets, creating a cozy coffee shop ambiance.

The project scope covered two floors, 40+ workstations and 60 private offices, as well as various collaboration, breakroom, and meeting spaces.

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.

UAB Hilton Hotel Lobby

The Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation and rebranding. This undertaking transformed the property into a modern, high-end hospitality destination. This massive project revitalized the hotel’s public face and enhanced the overall guest experience. Its design reflects its prominent location near the UAB campus and the downtown core.

Business Interiors was proud to be a key partner in executing the interior design vision. We collaborated closely with CCR Architecture and Interiors and Rives Construction. Our task was to provide the comprehensive furniture solutions required for the large-scale renovation of the public spaces. Therefore, our role was to deliver furnishings that met the demanding standards of the Hilton brand for quality, durability, and luxury aesthetic.

Furnishing the Public Experience
The project scope focused entirely on high-traffic, guest-facing amenity areas. This required careful selection of durable, stylish pieces designed to set a modern, sophisticated tone:

We furnished the expansive lobby and lounge areas, providing custom seating and tables that create a welcoming first impression.

The scope also included specialized furnishings for the hotel’s new bar and restaurant concepts. This scope further covered renovated meeting and event spaces. This ensured versatile, comfortable arrangements for both large conferences and intimate gatherings.

The successful completion of this major renovation cemented the hotel’s place as a premier destination in Birmingham. Business Interiors delivered the high-quality, large-volume furnishings required to support the Hilton’s elevated guest experience. The project successfully combined modern luxury with functional elegance, ensuring the property is equipped to serve the city for years to come.

Phelps Dunbar

Business Interiors is proud to have worked on Phelps Dunbar’s new Birmingham law office.

Phelps Dunbar, a large law firm with multiple locations around the United States and London, recently relocated their Birmingham office to the Massey Building, a historic renovation project spearheaded by CCR Architecture and Interiors.

CCR transformed the space with an abundance of natural light, bright finishes, and a focus on the firm’s branding—a remarkable change from their previous office, which consisted of dark tones and heavy furniture.

The private offices are Knoll Reff veneer, with a mixture of adjustable and fixed-height desk layouts. The entire project includes a lobby and reception, private offices, workstations, a breakroom + cafe, conference rooms, and a law library.
