News On 6 Recognizes Vision and Innovation
News On 6 recently highlighted Chris Lilly of Lilly Architects as a visionary who sees potential where others see decay. His ability to breathe new life into forgotten structures demonstrates his unique approach to preservation and modernization. The report underscores Lilly’s dedication to Tulsa’s architectural heritage and his relentless pursuit of innovation.

Revolutionizing Restoration with Technology and Passion
Faced with aging buildings lacking original drawings, Lilly developed a groundbreaking method—using 3D scanning technology, much like an MRI, to capture precise structural details. This process allows for renovations that honor historical accuracy while making buildings more resilient for the future. His work embodies a rare fusion of artistry and innovation, driven by a deep respect for Tulsa’s past.

Lilly’s transformative vision is evident in the Brady Arts District, where an entire block is being reborn as a vibrant community hub with apartments, a brewery, and a bakery. By blending historical preservation with forward-thinking design, Lilly is not just restoring buildings—he’s reinvigorating the city’s spirit, ensuring Tulsa’s legacy thrives for generations to come.
