History

SGA Design Group was started in 1995 as Taylor Scott Architects (TSA) in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our objective was to establish ourselves as an architecture firm dedicated to understanding and serving our clients’ needs, as well as providing an exceptional culture for our employees. Over the course of more than two decades our firm has grown – and even changed our name a few times – but we still stand by our original goals of providing superior service for our clients in all aspects of the architectural services arena.

We’ve repeatedly been recognized as one of the best places to work, and have a reputation for maintaining an employee culture of teamwork and loyalty. We boast a highly-trained technical staff of over 115 people, including 25+ licensed architects, 15+ LEED^® Accredited Professionals and subject-matter experts familiar with all aspects of the design and construction process. We have three offices and a nation-wide network of experts and consultants at the ready to serve our clients.

Fostering a collaborative team environment has allowed our architecture firm to serve an ever-growing number of national and regional companies in a multitude of ways. We pride ourselves on the long-term relationships we’ve established with companies such as Walmart, Lowe’s, Best Buy and Casey’s General Stores, to name a few.

Today, SGA is an established top architectural firm in the U.S. focusing on volume programs for retail and health & wellness. Our extensive experience includes architectural prototype development, maintenance & management, site adaptation services, entitlement, construction documents, architectural forensic analysis and sustainable design services. Going forward, SGA will continue to learn, adapt and lead.

In 2019 we responded to the advancement of technology in our field by founding GreenLight 360, a company that uses laser scanning to deliver accurate as-builts to architects and retailers. Then in 2022 we grew through the acquisition of Renaissance Architecture, LLC that is based in Oklahoma City and specializes in K-12 design. With shared services agreements for departments like Human Resources, Marketing, and Accounting, we are able to find efficiencies in our businesses and serve our clients with the experience and expertise they require. Together, we refer to this group of brands as Solutions Partners.
