Energetic Design Primary design considerations were the splitting of design finishes and features which reinforced the concept of duality that came from the merger of two energy companies to form what is now Coterra Energy, explains Kirksey Architecture's Farid Dehghan AIA, NCARB. " Areas and materials were split using contrasting finishes and supported with critical alignments as a design throughline. Metal inserts and reveals were used to separate these areas, while two finishes were applied on each face of certain materials to reinforce the concept of duality.

" Wood and millwork were paired with adjacent finishes like metals, fabric panels and stones that were contrasting finishes. Together the juxtaposition reinforced the materials merging and complementing each other, as well as coordinating to create alignments and design features. " WHITE OAK spring 2023 I designsolutions 29
