Chickasaw Cultural Center | Sulphur, OK




The Chickasaw Cultural Center is just minutes from my house; however, it was several months after it was built that I first visited it. It is an amazing space. The Chickasaw Nation truly did not spare any expense here. The center perfectly pairs old and new in a seamless way. Much of the walkways and building fronts consist of rough, natural-looking wood interlaced with steel beams. Coupled with that are sleek glass windows and rough-hewn stone. These juxtapositions are great to experience and really create a dynamic environment. In terms of having an architectural mission and accomplishing it, this place truly delivers. For added praise: the way they designed the landscaping was just amazing.
