The award winning oysk3 architects firm has a wonderfully diverse range of design professionals who embody our commitment to quality in the design process and attention to all our clients most critical needs. Each of our interns and professionals contribute a vital knowledge of design, architecture, construction, and interior design to deliver a complete end product.
Our Building
oysk3 architects resides in the Rogers Building in Knoxville, Tennessee’s Mechanicsville Historic Neighborhood. Our building was designed and renovated into a new commercial space by Jim Odle and Steve Young in 2002 from ‘near condemnation’ conditions to its fully restored architectural status.
The Rogers Building is now on the National Register for Historic Buildings and of course, Jim and Steve’s original architecture firm, Odle & Young Architects, was instrumental in the renovation, providing vision, design, and expertise to transform an unusual and deteriorating structure in a vital neighborhood asset and home for many local businesses.
These restoration efforts did not go unnoticed as the firm received a Certificate of Appreciation from Knox Heritage and the building was nominated as a finalist for the Metropolitan Planning Commission’s Excellence Award for Commercial Renovation in 2002.
Why the “3” in oysk3 architects?
We tend to get this question quite often (we like to think of it as a great conversation starter!).
The “3” in our name serves as a reminder to us and our clients of the three key pillars of our architecture firm: to be Consistent, to be Reliable, to be Responsive.
Our team carefully focuses on and exemplifies these three pillars in all that we do, say, and create. They ensure everyone we engage with will get the exact level of quality and experience they deserve to have from an architectural firm that cares about each individual and the success of a project throughout the entire design process, from concept to construction.
