Excited to share the new Oklahoma Federal Credit Union Headquarters along Lincoln Boulevard. The design reflects transparency, warmth, and strength while creating a strong presence for OFCU in the Lincoln corridor. Natural materials, clear sightlines, and connected gathering spaces support both the member experience and the OFCU team. Proud to see this one come to life for a client committed to its community.

We’re proud to celebrate Cara Sutton, Designer, for being selected as one of only ten designers nationwide to participate in the Carnegie Fabrics x Metropolis Magazine Changemaker Experience.

“Being one of only ten interior designers and architects chosen from over 400 applicants is an incredible honor. It reinforces my belief in design’s power to drive meaningful change.”
Through workshops, studio tours, and thought-provoking discussions on sustainability and transparency, Cara gained insights she’s bringing back to our team—integrating the “Design for Freedom” and “Changemaker Framework” principles into how we approach ethical material sourcing.

Her experience is a reflection of our firm’s belief that design should elevate communities and create lasting, positive impact.
