For its first project, Common Works designed a new home for Oklahoma City\u2019s Academy of Classical Christian Studies, which had been housed in a \u201cbunkerlike\u201d 1980s building devoid of natural light. The new facilities incorporate a T-shaped plan that bookends the former building with an east-facing chapel. Courtesy Leonid Furmansky<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s a common predicament: 18-year-olds leave home and, given the pressure of familial and societal expectations, find themselves facing a decision on what they want to do. For Asa Highsmith, founder of Oklahoma City\u2013based architecture and design studio Common Works, the path wasn\u2019t so clear. Previously enrolled in the pharmacy program at the University of Oklahoma, he says, \u201cI kind of had an early-life crisis and was like, \u2018I don\u2019t want to do this.\u2019 \u201d Always drawn to creative practices such as music but fearing they weren\u2019t a \u201cviable career choice,\u201d Highsmith eventually switched majors to architecture as a way to exercise his creativity. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t an initial passion for me, but I grew into it and it became a passion as I worked at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graduating in 2008 during the Great Recession, Asa Highsmith began a series of \u201csafe\u201d jobs for riding out a weak labor market. This became his basis for founding architecture and design studio Common Works in 2015. The firm is currently a team of four, consisting of (from left to right) Klaas Reimann-Philipp, Erin Yen, Asa Highsmith, and Josh Hogsett. Courtesy Commonworks<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Graduating in 2008, Highsmith was able to find work at a local firm and \u201cclung tightly to it for five years to ride out the recession.\u201d He\u2019d been born in Oklahoma, and his roots were firmly planted, but he sought new ways to contribute to the city\u2019s burgeoning arts and design scene. To veer away from the ego and hierarchy often associated with top-down production-style firms, Highsmith made the leap to start his own studio in 2015 after a client approached him to design an ambitious addition to The Academy of Classical Christian Studies that would fetch a fee larger than his salary. It was only one project, but after years of making connections in the local design community, it seemed like a risk worth taking.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrankly, I was a little naive in considering what size job I could do,\u201d he says regarding his first contract designing the academy. \u201cIt was a fairly difficult project to be our first. I quickly realized I needed to hire some people.\u201d So he hired two other designers, and holds the intention that everyone he hires can become a partner. He says, \u201cI don\u2019t want to bring anyone on that doesn\u2019t have that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

612 Northwest Sixth Street is one of two homes Common Works designed in Oklahoma City\u2019s Cottage District. Unassuming facade details such as decorative metal window screens skillfully complete the home\u2019s minimal composition. Highsmith doesn\u2019t agree with architects who look down on \u201cexterior decorating.\u201d Rather, he says: \u201cI think in terms of composition and ornament. It\u2019s a simple way of achieving so much.\u201d Courtesy Leonid Furmansky<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The experience taught him skills that were critical in founding his own firm, such as designing in a more collaborative work environment and developing a distinct visual language within the city\u2019s unique context. Common Works\u2019 design was an upgrade for the institution: The 18,000-square-foot educational complex doubled the school\u2019s capacity, expanded the size of classrooms, and provided students with a new chapel characterized by warm woods and angelic daylighting. The building has an elegant clarity of form that now resonates throughout the firm\u2019s portfolio of residences, restaurants, and public space projects.<\/p>\n

For Highsmith, good design isn\u2019t about grand, \u201cbudget-breaking\u201d concepts or sculptural gestures. \u201cIt\u2019s about starting as simply as possible,\u201d he explains. \u201cMost of our projects are basically rectangular boxes that we then make decisions from as we go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right next door to 612 Northwest Sixth Street, 614 Northwest Sixth Street makes use of its narrow, 25-foot-by-140-foot lot through a long, linear form. Built on spec, the home needed to be 4,500 square feet. To fit the site\u2019s context, Common Works designed a multilevel home that wraps around an interior courtyard, emphasizing the firm\u2019s attention to landscape. Highsmith notes, \u201cTo me, scale and proportion are number one.\u201d Courtesy Leonid Furmansky<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This formal refinement along with restrained use of materials\u2014primarily brick, metal panels, and cement board\u2014is evident in the studio\u2019s residential designs. 612 Northwest Sixth Street, one of two spec homes built in the city\u2019s Cottage District, collides two gabled brick volumes, a move that positions views toward the downtown skyline, while translating traditional architectural elements into a contemporary design.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City is shaped by architect I.M. Pei\u2019<\/a>s disaster of a 1960s urban redevelopment plan, a context that designers are forced to work within. The Pei Plan called for the demolition of hundreds of historic structures but failed to follow through with new infill, leaving the downtown full of \u201cmissing teeth\u201d construction sites and a lack of a local vernacular to draw on. The Sixth Street Homes gracefully sit on a large plot of land that sat empty for years. Because of this, Common Works dedicates as much of its budget as possible toward landscaping. \u201cThe experience of arrival and the space outside a building is just as important to me as the building itself,\u201d Highsmith says.<\/p>\n

Despite its challenges, Oklahoma City has undergone a rich period of transformation in recent years in terms of fostering the arts and developing a creative identity through recent projects such as the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center and the immersive work of art collective Factory Obscura. \u201cThere\u2019s been growing pains of starting to find a voice in what local creativity means,\u201d says Highsmith. \u201cI see a lot of value in the architectural community in these efforts.\u201d Common Works is betting big on its future in a vision of what Oklahoma design can be.<\/p>\n
