ABOUT US

Although we are based in Oklahoma, we can service clients in Missouri in cities like Independence. The Truman Library & Museum is one of the biggest attractions in this city, named in honor of a U.S. president that was born and raised here. The Frontier Trails Museum displays artifacts and wagon tours illustrating the pioneer era. Residents and visitors enjoy several casual restaurants with American and Italian cuisine and numerous nightlife attractions.

Here, you'll find all the necessities, with a sparse suburban feel that includes over 40 parks. From May to June, the weather is pleasant, and December and January can be bitter cold. Here, a fairly low cost of living is attractive for many families, ideal for the median family income averaging around $53,000.

As a pro-business community, 2020 saw over 20,000 more residents with 5,000 new offices and industrial and retail places for employment. The proximity to Kansas City, Missouri, affects the local economy and job market, with an unemployment rate stagnant at 7.0 percent.

Method Group was founded with the idea we could reimagine what an Architecture firm looks like. With a focus on collaborative coordination and an emphasis on the value of human capital - we're here for a better, kinder, more equitable approach.

As part of our digital-first focus, we utilize technology such as Matterport photo and laser-scanning to get accurate records of existing buildings and create a virtual way to access buildings and sites throughout a project. We also rely on cloud-based software and remote-capable hardware for all of our core functions. This allows us to be flexible and our team to work efficiently in a remote way - keeping us connected to projects, clients, and each other. Ultimately, this means a high level of responsiveness and engagement from our team.

We believe in the importance and significance of community and being part of something bigger than yourself. We have a passion for historic revitalization, community consciousness and involvement, responsible design, and incremental development. We recognize the huge impact that places and spaces have on people. We strive to create places where people belong.

“Method is more than an architecture and design firm - it is a group of dedicated professionals that care about people and want to help communities by making their vision a reality”
— Buffy Hughes, State Main Street Director
