Highlights

Building Culture is an Oklahoma City design plus build company that specializes in new construction, mass-wall brick houses, and historic restorations. They are a small firm that puts their heart and soul into each project, from working on every detail during design and construction to obsessing about every choice.

They assume that a house is evaluated by more than its price per square foot or energy efficiency—industry benchmarks for measuring houses. To be sure, these are crucial issues that must be answered, but they are not the purpose of architecture. The aim of architecture is to foster human flourishing by fostering elegance, harmony, and stewardship. To inspire awe and honor the limitless creativity of the human spirit. When they express those values in durable architecture, they not only enrich the world they live in, but they also maintain and sustain those values, enabling future generations to draw on their successes rather than having to conquer them.

Building Culture is fighting for a New Renaissance of building and architecture, in which a dedication to beauty, craftsmanship, and long-lasting materials enriches their lives and leads to human flourishing.

Take a look at their latest project, The Bend - A Small Neighborhood. Humans are built to live in groups, and this small neighborhood sets the tone. A shared open courtyard is surrounded by four structural masonries and two traditionally framed houses, with a more private, intimate meeting area nestled in the back. The Bend gracefully combines privacy and community with a fire pit, pergola, and chairs, dedicated parking, and storage units.
