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 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.

HOSPITALITY
When you get the basics right, there’s time and space for revolution. Cooper Carry’s Hospitality Design Studio is in the business of designing buildings for leisure and escape, which is the business of real estate and brand, experience and efficiency, service and food, finance and well-designed spectacle, all at once.
Hospitality design is complex, but we meet the challenge with decades of destinations built, stories told, and memories made. How? By having the experience to get the basics right for the business of the hotel industry first, and the creativity and innovative spirit to allow the beauty in it to bloom.
Cooper Carry’s hospitality architects are experts in the design of everything from urban high-rise hotels to beach resorts, complex convention center hotels to intimate boutiques, all served by great restaurants and rooftop bars, compelling public spaces and arrival experiences, wellness-centered spas, pools and fitness, and top-notch integration and support of operations and staff. We are proud to be consistently ranked among the top hotel architects in the country.
