OUR PHILOSOPHY


SCROLL DOWN

OUR PHILOSOPHY


Birchfield Penuel Architects is a full-service Architecture & Design firm with an award-winning team of architects & interior designers based in Alabama. For almost 40 years, we've watched the architecture industry change and our clients grow. We're honored to have been there every step of the way, learning and growing with them. The times are changing, and we're better for it. Innovation keeps us sharp, and experience makes us effective. In an age when every idea is tested, our core values continue to prove invaluable to our clients and ourselves.

Relationships are the priority.

We're not a means to an end, and neither are you. At BPA, our clients are more than partners. They're family. Whether we've worked together for a decade or a day, you have our care and attention. This is as true for our leadership as it is for our staff. We are all invested in you and your success.

AND is better than OR.

You shouldn't have to sacrifice good design for a well-executed project or vice versa. At BPA, we believe that decades of experience and fresh ideas are better paired together than on their own. The union of expertise and creativity continues best to serve the vision and needs of our clients.

Good design is for everybody.

Design should have an impact. It should improve the lives of the owner, the user, and the passerby. At BPA, we believe good design should be available for every project type and budget. From highly visible hospitals to inner-city outreach centers, we work hard to ensure that your project has a lasting effect on everyone who encounters it.
