Design-Build Services: Our General Contractor Role in the 2025 Showcase
As the General Contractor, Kirkendall Design took on the heavy lifting, handling the major renovations to prepare the space for the featured designers. We preserved key architectural details like the original hardwood floors and embossed plasterwork, original trim, hardware and other historic design elements. We gutted and reconfigured the kitchen, removed outdated built-ins and carpeting, and executed updates to lighting, paint, and a garage addition.
In addition to the renovation work, we guided the homeowner through the overall design direction, helping to balance preservation with modern updates. With a strong design-build expertise, our team managed the entire renovation process, working alongside Tulsa’s talented designers to transform this incredible historic home.
