Honoring the past, defining defining the present, shaping the future – since 1912.
Founded in 1912, Davis Architects is Alabama’s oldest continually operating architecture firm, nationally recognized for designing purposeful spaces. From educational campuses and athletic facilities to cultural landmarks, performance venues and more, we partner with clients to create spaces that serve generations. With a team of experienced architects and a broad range of design services, we start with performance and layers in design to help clients create functional, enduring spaces that leave a lasting impression.
As a firm led by architects, we believe great architecture goes beyond buildings — it shapes experiences, transforms communities, and builds legacies. That belief drives the core values that guide our work every day.
“Our Core Values”
Purposeful Design
We design with intention, ensuring every space serves a purpose beyond aesthetics. Every detail matters because great design is functional, adaptable, and enduring.
Lasting Legacy
We honor the past as we design for the future. Our work outlasts us, shaping communities for generations, and reflecting the values that guide us.
Rooted in Relationships
We’re more than a team — we are a family. Our culture is built on mutual respect, shared passion, and a commitment to one another and our craft.
Client Partnership
We listen first, collaborate always, and design with your vision, schedule, and budget in mind. Every client, every project, every time. Our work begins and ends with people.
Innovative Thinking
We believe every challenge has a solution. Our legacy of innovation drives us to rethink what’s possible and design with the future in mind.
