Wheeler Condos received a Merit Award in the Large Architecture category in this year's AIA Central Oklahoma Architecture Awards. Flamingo Tiki and The Icehouse District also received a People’s Choice Award in their respective categories.

Wheeler Condos, Architecture
One of three AHMM projects in the Wheeler District of Oklahoma located on the south bank of the Oklahoma River; this three-storey new build condominium scheme joins the nearby Western Gateway Elementary School and Wheeler Office. The building form maximises density while providing ground floor retail and office space and four two- to three-bedroom homes on the upper floors. Large balconies provide protected amenity space and downtown views for each residence.

Flamingo Tiki, Interior ArchitectureAHMM’s second project for client Humankind Hospitality, Flamingo Tiki joins the Oso on Paseo bar in the thriving arts community of the Paseo District of Oklahoma City. Previously a small restaurant, the space was stripped back to create a new spacious and open central bar with curved banquette seating and additional seats on the improved terrace outside. The new interior teams mid-century styling and materials with a tropical colour palette that extends to its bright pink exterior.

The Icehouse District, Urban Placemaking
Located in Edmond, Oklahoma The Icehouse District takes its name from the former Edmond Ice Company that once stood on the site. The original Icehouse building, which no longer stands, was constructed in 1909, followed by the Creamery building in 1921. The new Icehouse District stitches together the renovated Creamery and other still standing buildings, with a series of walkways and landscaped courtyards; creating a new cohesive piece of city that houses a mix of food and beverage concepts, including an ice cream parlor.

AIA Central Oklahoma’s Architecture Awards program is held every other year and celebrates the best in architecture and urban design.
