COOPER CARRY
Since 1960, Cooper Carry has been dedicated to designing spaces that connect people to place. Inspired by our founder, Jerry Cooper, we approach every project with curiosity—asking the right questions to uncover the best solutions for our clients and the communities they serve. Our leadership team consists of both advocates and experts, empowered by decades of experience to shape environments that prioritize placemaking, civic space, and the well-being of communities, tenants, residents, and visitors.
Cooper carry’s Mixed-use ecosystem
Ecosystems bring together diverse contributors to create something far beyond the capacity of one. At Cooper Carry, we approach our projects as a collaborative ecosystem. Our multiple studios and services combine daily to provide each project with the expertise it needs to meet its business objectives. Our experience encompasses a wide range of building types, allowing us to offer deeper expertise, explore various possibilities, and provide innovative solutions. This mixed-use ecosystem enables us to help our clients create a platform where tenants and target audiences can thrive.
INTERIOR DESIGN Studio
The Cooper Carry Interior Design team’s favorite question is “Why not?” Why shouldn’t we incorporate sustainability as an integral part of every design decision? And why shouldn’t we all push further, past paint color and finish choice, out of our comfort zones, to create something truly functional and memorable?
We create well-designed spaces that lift and inspire the spirit. Our studio provides a full range of professional interior design services, from programming through space design to selecting fittings, finishes and furnishings. We are particularly skilled at identifying and understanding the client’s core vision to bring a high degree of connectedness and intelligence to our projects.
Our team consistently produces spaces that support the client’s mission in rich architectural language, promoting interacting, enabling communication and fostering innovation. Our attention to detail leads to spaces that lift morale, help control operational costs and inevitably result in beautiful and functional spaces.
