Firm Description
Founded in 2015, we provide exceptional architectural and design solutions tailored to the intrinsic needs of the people we serve. Gardner has a diverse portfolio and storied body of work over the past eleven years including small and large-scale commercial, private residences, multi-family housing, historic preservation, restaurants, retail shops, schools and academic buildings, creative infill and adaptive reuse, and now industrial design and fabrication.Situated in the Historic Midtown District of Oklahoma City, our studio home is part of the Gardner-designed redevelopment of a former Chrysler Show Room, and reflects our firm’s dedication to community, contextual relevance and adaptive reuse.
The core of Gardner’s work is found in connection—between client and designer, builder and architect, sources and materials, space and context. Thoughtful architecture fulfills specific requirements, and our success as a studio is predicated on active listening. We are guided by the intrinsic needs of our clients, lead with collective expertise and purpose, and design with a sense of optimism and curiosity. Our expertise lies in being able to see challenges from our clients’ perspectives and not just our own—guiding with humility, confidence, and precision.
