1Architecture

Most of us spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year surrounded by the built environment - yet we put very few resources into crafting that environment. We want to change that. To provide public and private spaces that foster health and well being. Spaces that speak to the soul. Spaces that give more than they take. At the end of the day we want to change the world for the better - and we believe we can do it through great design. 1. Pearl District is home to many still-thriving upholsterers, trade suppliers, print shops, auto repair shops, manufacturers, and cabinetmakers that have served Tulsa since the early 1900s.
