The Guardian

Project: Guardian, Oklahoma City, OK
Architect: Fitzsimmons Architects
Type: Urban multi story mixed-use building

Description: This 38,000 sq. ft. structure offers a unique blend of retail and office space in this traditional cityscape. The Guardian offers flexible floor plans with retail space on the first floor and residential units upstairs.  The structural challenge consisted of salvaging and repairing the steel deck, and 3-wythe brick walls.  The residential space includes a new very slick mezzanine floor.  The parking and exterior alley portals complete the award winning vision.
