Inside HERO, the interior is shaped around bright color, playful casework, and an easy, daytime energy. The counter sits against a wall of colorful tile, where a custom coffee bar anchors the room beneath round globe pendants.

A wall of windows opens the dining room to the corner and the patio beyond, keeping the space in step with the street life outside.

Inside Little Donkey, the interior is shaped around warm wood, exposed steel, and a connection to the work of the kitchen. The dining room opens beneath an exposed steel structure, where a custom wood storefront wraps the tortilla kitchen and keeps it in view of the room.

Bar windows and operable doors carry the energy of the front porch inward, holding the dining areas in dialogue with the street beyond.

Little Donkey + HERO is a paired hospitality project on a single block in downtown Montgomery near the EJI Legacy Museum. The two restaurants are given distinct material identities: Little Donkey in dark charcoal brick with a perforated terracotta screen and an exposed steel canopy, HERO in pale white tile with red lettering beneath a warm timber soffit.

A continuous street edge of patios, planting, and new trees ties the two volumes together while letting each hold its own character.

At the Wire Road Soccer Complex, recreation unfolds through light, materiality, and a sense of openness within the rhythm of the City of Auburn's park.

The facility brings new energy to a previously underused edge of the grounds, balancing the intensity of play with moments of calm. A translucent facade glows at dusk, warm wood soffits soften the steel structure, and a shaded courtyard frames quiet space between the buildings and the fields beyond.

Inside, a full-size futsal court and two basketball courts open to framed views of the surrounding landscape. A canopy walkway links the gymnasium to concessions and gathering space, while three lighted fields extend activity across the site.

Chambless King Architects is proud to announce that the Lewis Communications project received an Honor Award at the 2026 AIA Birmingham Design Awards.

This adaptive reuse project transforms a 1920s automotive showroom in the heart of Mobile from disrepair into a modern workplace. Named to the National Register of Historic Places, the project balances upgrades for modern conveniences with historic preservation. Blocked in openings were reopened to restore the light filled character, while a new two story addition and rooftop terrace step back to keep the historic façade in view.

Thank you to AIA Birmingham and the jury for this recognition.

Congratulations to the entire project team and partners who helped bring this vision to life. Thank you for the collaboration and dedication that made this recognition possible.

Big congratulations to Juyeon Han, who recently earned her LEED Accredited Professional certification!

Juyeon originally joined CKA as an intern, and we've loved watching her grow into her practice since then. She is passionate about using her architectural and urbanist knowledge to support public welfare, and has supported civic and commercial projects including the Picker House and Spillway Park in Prattville, the Auburn University Samford Hall Interior Office Renovation, and the East Gadsden Community Pool.

We're proud to see her continue to grow as a leader in sustainable design. Well deserved, Juyeon.
