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 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.
