Architectural Services Across Alabama
ARKHITEKTAN is an Atlanta-based architecture practice led by architect Hadi Mansouri, who is licensed to practice architecture in Alabama. Operating with direct principal oversight from our nearby Atlanta-area studio, we collaborate with residential, commercial, and institutional clients across Alabama—delivering custom home design, substantial additions, and commercial architecture rooted in proportion, climate responsiveness, and material integrity.
Designing for Alabama’s River Basins, Heat, and Landscape
Building in Alabama requires an architectural language that acknowledges both intense summer heat and the state’s diverse physical geography. Extending from the sandstone ridges of the Cumberland Plateau down through the fertile Black Belt and coastal Mobile Bay, Alabama presents contrasting soil compositions, hydrological conditions, and solar exposures that must inform foundation design and building orientation.
To mitigate solar heat gain, we prioritize deliberate passive design: orienting primary glazing along north and south axes, specifying deep shaded overhangs, and configuring breezeways that capture prevailing regional airflows. Outdoor living areas are treated not as exterior afterthoughts, but as shaded architectural volumes that shelter inhabitants from the midday sun while facilitating natural air movement.
Our practice serves Alabama clients through frequent on-site collaboration, digital coordinating models, and direct principal engagement. With Atlanta positioned as a convenient regional travel hub, Hadi Mansouri remains actively involved in site evaluation, jurisdictional reviews, and construction documentation across the state.
