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.

Ecosystems bring many diverse contributors together to create something far beyond the capacity of one. They create and capture new and greater value. At Cooper Carry, we approach our work as a collaborative ecosystem. We have multiple studios and services that mix and match daily to provide each project the depth of expertise it needs to meet business objectives. Our breadth of experience goes far beyond broad building types.

We offer a deeper level of expertise, engaging in more possibilities and offering more creative solutions. The mixed-use ecosystem allows us to help our clients create the platform on which tenants and target audiences can flourish.

INTERIOR DESIGN The Cooper Carry Interior Design team often asks, “Why not?” Why shouldn’t we incorporate sustainability as a fundamental aspect of every design decision? Why shouldn’t we push beyond conventional choices—such as paint color and finishes—to create spaces that are genuinely functional and memorable?

We design well-crafted spaces that uplift and inspire. Our studio offers a comprehensive range of professional interior design services, from programming and space design to selecting fittings, finishes, and furnishings.

We excel at identifying and understanding our clients’ core visions, which allows us to bring a high degree of connectivity and intelligence to our projects. Our team consistently creates environments that align with our clients’ missions through rich architectural language, promoting interaction, enabling communication, and fostering innovation. Our meticulous attention to detail results in spaces that enhance morale, help control operational costs, and ultimately yield beautiful yet functional environments.
