Located on a quiet street in the English Village neighborhood of Mountain Brook, the partial renovation of this historic bungalow consists of the conversion a former fabric sample room into an architectural studio and library. New built-in workstations, decorative lighting, art, and furniture, along with an extensive collection of architecture and art-related books transform this space into a serene environment perfect for project-related meetings. The research and selection of reference imagery during the design process is encouraged through the use of both physical and digital resources.
