The Little DPC Commercial Build-Out in Downtown OKC
The Little DPC was growing fast. Their patients needed more room, and their brand of care needed a space that felt like it. Ten Key remodeled 5,250 square feet in downtown Oklahoma City into a primary care home built around color, comfort, and people.
Project at a glance: 5,250 Square Feet · 5 Exam Rooms · 4 Offices · Downtown OKC
A space that works
The new layout was designed around how the practice actually runs, giving every square foot a clear purpose.This included a welcoming lobby and waiting area anchored by a lobby fish tank, five exam rooms and a flex room, four private offices, a pharmacy lab, dedicated maintenance room, two client restrooms, a conference room, storage, and connecting hallways.
Thoughtful by design
Accessibility and function were built into the plan from the beginning, with ADA-compliant restrooms, thoughtful clearances, carefully selected fixtures, and finishes that feel comfortable, welcoming, and distinctly part of the practice.
A better flow
The owners’ love of travel became part of the design, with spaces inspired by places they’ve visited and objects they’ve collected along the way. The result is a practice filled with color, character, and personal stories – more inviting and relatable than clinical.
A space for care that treats you like a person
Project Process
01 Demolition & Prep
Ceiling demo across the front of the building, with dumpsters and site facilities staged for a clean, safe job from day one.
02 Structure & Framing
Wood-framed walls from 10 feet to 18 feet in the lobby. New framing for every room in the program, then insulation and drywall hung, taped, mudded, and textured. Level-4 walls where the wallpaper lives.
03 Doors & Windows
Twenty solid-core interior doors and hardware. Three upgraded windows brighten the office area.
04 HVAC
New ducting, plenums, start collars, copper runs, and diffusers, all tuned to the new layout for even, comfortable air.
05 Plumbing
Thirty linear feet of new lines, cut into the slab and poured back. Two tankless water heaters replace the old unit. Four new toilets, six sinks, and the drain kits behind them.
06 Electrical & Low Voltage
Outlets to code, power for medical equipment, and dedicated data and IT wiring. Forty-five switches, thirty 2×2 LED panels, sixteen wafer lights, and exhaust fans throughout.
07 Finishes & Carpentry
Paint on walls, ceilings, trim, and twenty doors. Acoustic ceilings for privacy. Quartz or granite counters, sixteen runs of cabinetry, and wood trim from the lobby to the offices.
08 Tile & Flooring
4,250 square feet of vinyl flooring, 276 square feet of wall and floor tile, a tile backsplash, and 1,000 feet of cove base to seal the wall-to-floor joint.
09 Fixtures & Final Details
ADA grab bars, restroom accessories, and new mirrors, then a full professional clean of all 5,250 square feet before handover.
The Vision
The Little DPC does primary care differently: no rushing, no feeling like a line item on a busy day. The team wanted a space that says as much before a word is spoken. Through our partnership with Heather Lay Interior Design, we leaned into the things most medical offices strip out: color, pattern, personality. Patterned wallpaper with a point of view. Rooms with a sense of place. A fish tank in the lobby that gives younger patients something to love about the visit. The design does not just look good -it sets the tone for the kind of care that happens inside.

Medical office build-out as its own discipline
ADA restrooms, code-compliant power, accessible clearances, loads for medical equipment – we plan for the inspector before the framer ever lifts a board.
Seamless vinyl flooring, cove base that seals the joints, and surfaces that wipe clean. In a clinic, good-looking and easy to sanitize are the same requirement.
Acoustic ceilings and considered wall assemblies keep exam-room conversations where they belong. Sound privacy is part of the framing plan, not a fix at the end.
City of OKC permitting often runs a few weeks. Design-build keeps design and construction under one roof, enabling a project like this to hold its schedule.
