The Things We Loved This Past Year at Method

As 2021 comes to a close, we want to look back and highlight some of our favorite moments over the last year. You can find those listed below, divided between company-wide highlights and our team members’ more personal moments.

  • As a company, we had our first ever in-person full team gathering - back in July, everyone met in Tulsa for our quarterly meeting and afterward had some fun on the lake and in Tulsa.

  • One of our projects - Florence Park Pediatrics - received the Oklahoma Interior Design Coalition (OIDC) Award for Best Small Healthcare Project.

  • We rebranded!

  • We focused our project niche on a few specialized types: infill and adaptive reuse projects.

  • My husband and I bought the right house for our family to grow in. We also sold our old house within 7 hours of posting!
