Arcspace Studio

What Arcspace Studio does

Arcspace Studio is a regional architecture firm headquartered at 304 Franklin Street in Huntsville, Alabama, serving clients across north Alabama and southern Tennessee. Founded in 1998 as Bird & Kamback Architects and later rebranded to its current name, the firm is led by two principal architects, Greg Kamback (Auburn University, 1973; registered architect since 1976) and Darryl Bird (Louisiana Tech, 1987; LEED Accredited Professional), with combined practice experience exceeding 50 years. Darryl Bird has also instructed in the UAH Interior Design Certificate Program since 1995.

The firm delivers professional architectural services across three practice areas — Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Planning — through project-based engagements. Work spans custom residential (single-family homes, mountain retreats, equestrian estates, bluff houses), commercial (educational facilities, retail fit-outs, offices, hospitality), institutional (law enforcement training, community centers, religious buildings), and unrealized concept designs. Notable named projects include the UAH University Center Addition, Montessori School of Huntsville, Produkt Glas commercial fit-out, The Poppy redevelopment, and the HPD Law Enforcement Training Center. Between 2008 and 2021, the firm accumulated more than 15 regional industry recognitions from AIA North Alabama, AIA Alabama Council, Design with Brick SE Chapter, and the Alabama Concrete Industry.

Arcspace Studio generates revenue through project-based professional service fees with quote-based pricing; no SaaS, app, or technology platform exists. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with the principals directly engaged in client acquisition. The customer base is horizontally segmented across four groups — private homeowners (primary), educational institutions, commercial/enterprise, and municipalities/non-profits — and the firm markets primarily through its corporate website, two blogs (ArchitectureConnection and we shape space), and a newsletter. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• HOK: Global architecture firm with substantial higher education and civic practices. Represents the larger, better-resourced competitor that Arcspace may face on flagship university and municipal commissions in Huntsville and beyond.
• Goodwyn Mills Cawood: Large multi-disciplinary architecture and engineering firm headquartered in the Southeast with deep institutional and K-12/municipal practice. A broader incumbent that competes for the same university, school, and municipal projects Arcspace pursues.
• HKS: Large national architecture firm with significant higher education and commercial practices. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same institutional and commercial commissions Arcspace serves in the Huntsville/Southern Tennessee market.

Direct peers

• Olson Kundig: Small-to-mid-sized architecture firm recognized for design-led, craft-oriented work across residential and commercial typologies. Comparable as a regional firm whose brand is built on distinctive, award-winning design rather than scale.

• Studio Ma: Small architecture and design practice with a comparable custom residential, educational, and cultural portfolio and a closely held principal-led model. Comparable in scale and project typology mix.
• Marlon Blackwell Architects: Small, award-winning regional architecture firm practicing from a Southern U.S. base with a parallel emphasis on craft, contextual design, and a mix of residential, educational, and commercial commissions. Comparable in scale and typology mix.

• Lake|Flato Architects: Award-winning regional architecture firm of similar scale and craft focus, with a comparable mix of custom residential, educational, and civic work and a similar AIA-recognized design sensibility. Considered a notable comparable for small, design-led regional studios.

Regional players
