A Refined Living Experience in Liberty Park

The Filmont is LIV Development’s newest expression of elevated 55+ living set within the highly desirable Liberty Park community in Vestavia Hills, AL. Everything about the project reflects a thoughtful commitment to comfort, connection, and beautifully executed design. With an amenity-forward lifestyle and finishes selected to stand the test of time, The Filmont offers residents a warm, contemporary home that feels both sophisticated and easy to live in.

South Cypress was invited to support this project with two surface material categories: wood flooring in the amenity spaces and tile on the walls of kitchens and baths in the units.

Design Goals

Nequette Architecture & Design crafted The Filmont with an emphasis on livability, warmth, and a timeless visual character. Their design approach balances luxury with comfort, spaces that feel polished but never cold, contemporary but rooted in a sense of home.

South Cypress Product Scope

Labrador Wood Flooring – Amenity Spaces

The amenity areas serve as the heart of The Filmont’s community experience—lounges, gathering spaces, fitness rooms, and shared social zones.

Our Labrador Hardwood Flooring was selected to provide:

  • A warm, inviting foundation for resident interaction

  • A cohesive visual story across multiple programmed spaces

  • Durable performance suited for commercial environments

  • A clean, contemporary grain pattern that complements Nequette’s interior palette

The result is a seamless and welcoming environment that enhances the overall hospitality feel of the property.

Brooklyn Collection – Unit Backsplashes & Showers

Inside each home, tile plays a functional and aesthetic role in areas used every day.

The Filmont’s design team selected the Brooklyn tile collection for:

  • Kitchen backsplashes that feel polished and easy to maintain

  • Shower walls with clean lines and enduring style

  • A unified finish package carried consistently across all units

The Brooklyn series provides durability, simplicity, and a subtle urban sensibility—perfect for a design vision that aims to feel timeless rather than trendy.

Why This Project Matters

The Filmont represents the type of design-driven multifamily project our team at South Cypress loves to support. Through a thoughtful blend of hardwood in amenity zones and a dependable tile package in unit interiors, the project demonstrates the power of consistent surface materials to strengthen a brand story, improve long-term performance, and elevate the resident experience.

It also highlights the value of early collaboration between developer, design team, and material partners—something that leads to more cohesive outcomes, faster decision-making, and a smoother construction process.
