BAU_Butzer Architects and Urbanism is a professional Oklahoma-born and based architecture and urban design practice dedicated to improving communities through exceptional practice, teaching, and community service. Located in the historic Film Row District, Hans and Torrey Butzer lead a dynamic team that is passionate about client engagement, rigorous design process, and distinguished placemaking.
The scope and scale of projects undertaken by the practice is varied, proven by a portfolio that ranges from the design and fabrication of furniture to master planning. Inspired by the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture, urban design and planning, engineering, construction, industrial design, and behavioral science, the work produced through deliberate collaborations resonates with individuals and communities alike. Through the lens of ethics and sustainability, the partners’ depth of combined experience defines their ambitions as constructive visionaries.
BAU translates from German as both a noun, a construct, and verb, to build; In one word, an action and a commitment. We see our work as an extension of its place, providing a source of anchoring ...and a vector for being. We offer people of any age, color, faith, orientation, or culture places to belong. Our designs result from the productive client dialectic, opportunities developed out of technical and fiscal constraints, and from the visible and invisible topographies of context. We establish architecture, not with obsessive form, but through carefully scaled and proportioned spatial sequences and tectonic intersections. We design places of equity that are between and within, and that are legible with purpose.
