Pfeifer Jones Architecture: Redefining Design in Tulsa’s Deco District

PartnerTulsa’s Main Park Plaza building plays a crucial role in fostering Tulsa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. One of its standout tenants is Pfeifer Jones Architecture, a forward-thinking design studio dedicated to transforming how architecture interacts with the community. Their innovative approach to design and commitment to enhancing local spaces, is evident in how they converted an unconventional storefront into a dynamic, functional space that aligns perfectly with their creative vision.

“We work as a design studio – as opposed to an office – and for us that implies a type of creative production which is rooted in making things,” said Aaron Jones, Owner and Lead Architect at Pfeifer Jones Architecture. “We often develop concepts through physical models, hand drawings, and art objects – and believe these items allow for a more meaningful and varied exchange of ideas.”

Drawn to the Plaza’s role in supporting Tulsa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, Pfeifer Jones saw the potential in transforming a street-level storefront at 409 S. Boulder into a functional, inspiring space. Located in the heart of Tulsa’s Deco District, their choice of location reflects their desire to directly engage with the city’s architecture and contribute to the district’s character.

“We’ve chosen this little storefront to directly engage with the city and its architecture, and to also demonstrate our playful and accessible attitudes toward studio practice,” added Jones. 

As Tulsa’s retail and commercial markets continue to grow, Pfeifer Jones Architecture offers a key insight: good design can unlock potential in even the most unconventional spaces.
