Large floor-to-ceiling windows line the perimeter, flooding the interior with abundant natural light and offering expansive views of the Birmingham cityscape and nearby landmarks. Light-toned wood-look flooring runs throughout, providing a warm contrast to the richly colored furnishings.

The space is thoughtfully organized into multiple distinct seating zones. One area features a large sectional sofa in slate gray, layered with teal and earth-tone accent pillows, arranged around a pair of oval coffee tables. A second lounge area showcases vibrant teal velvet chairs atop a deep crimson area rug, centered around tiered glass coffee tables beneath a vivid floral art piece. Additional leather chairs with brass frames add a sophisticated, eclectic character.

City - Birmingham

As one of the major economic centers of Alabama and one of the signature cities of the Southeast, Birmingham has done an impressive job of adapting to the new demands of the 21st century. The city that once built a reputation as the “Pittsburgh of the South” thanks to a robust steel manufacturing industry is now a hip community attracting entrepreneurs, artists, and innovative personalities. Birmingham remains one of the most active business hubs in the region, with headquarters for everything from banks to biotech firms operating in the city.

The dining, nightlife, and entertainment scenes have all grown rapidly in recent years, and just about everyone in town has an opinion about where to find the best brewery. Gorgeously preserved historic buildings and a pervasive attitude of down-home hospitality have kept Birmingham’s famous southern charm intact as well, creating a unique environment where the best elements of the traditional and the modern complement each other.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
