The year is 1960, the city is Birmingham, Alabama. Cobb/Adams/Benton Architecture opens its doors and quickly makes its mark on downtown Birmingham through unique, progressive designs. Fast forward 60 years, and you find Adams Design Associates looks a bit different, but our mission and vision has not changed. Our designs are still exceeding clients’ dreams.

At its core, Adams Design Associates is an architecture, interior design, master planning and consulting firm whose focus is helping clients achieve their goals. Our designs create a memorable sense of place and magnify the qualities of each client, building site or existing structure.

From conversation to paper to brick and mortar, we build our clients’ dreams one step at time, carefully listening to their wish list items and crafting a project that meets their deadline and their budget. We take pride in all of our projects being on time.
