Givens Estates wanted to update their Oxford Commons amenity spaces to reflect their mission to provide residents the opportunities for a purpose-driven life where they can pursue their passions and explore the possibilities for personal growth and enrichment.

Thus, we updated their commons to provide modern amenity spaces that reflect Givens Estates mountain aesthetic.
