Flogistix HQ by Rand Elliott Architects
Rand Elliott Architects’ response to the client request for an “immersive” experience of the company’s carbon-capture technologies has won a world of attention, starting with an article in Interior Design magazine.
The innovative emissions-reducing technologies Flogistix orchestrates at the well site, anywhere in the world, called for an inspired architectural space that tells the company’s dramatic clean-air story. Here, visitors see the rising climate change threat met with solutions to not only capture carbon, but direct and monetize it for productive use.
The company’s founder/CEO tapped Rand Elliott Architects for his company’s headquarters in Oklahoma City. Turns out he was familiar with the firm’s talent for storytelling with imaginative architectural design.
The result is so powerful, Interior Design magazine promptly published an article on it under the headline, “A New Energy.” The February 2024 issue describes “a space as inspiring as it is functional, immersing visitors in an atmosphere that makes a clean future feel squarely within reach.”
The FLOGISTIX article begins with the vestibule bathed in the company’s signature orange and a bed of “hot” river rocks. It sets the toasty tone for the warming planet threat that makes FLOGISTIX’s breakthrough emissions-reduction capability so compelling.
“Our Goal is Zero” became a mantra for a setting that immerses visitors and staff in the FLOGISTIX clean-air promise. At the company’s OKC headquarters, FLOGISTIX has a powerful podium for taking carbon emissions out of the equation.

The founder of Flogistix Energy Technologies, Mims Talton, is an avid modern art collector who brought a sophisticated eye to the challenge of communicating the benefits of his company’s technologies for prospective oil and gas industry partners in a real-life setting.
Talton used the word “immersive” to give Rand Elliott Architects a clear idea of what he hoped to accomplish with a mind-bending space that communicates. One architectural design tactic was to set the mood outside with a sense of our warming climate, so visitors stepping inside are enveloped in a refreshing, powerfully contrasting atmosphere of hope for the natural world.
Images of a clean and verdant Earth drive home the benefit of FLOGISTIX’s clean-air technologies. They’re projected on a 36-foot-wide LED screen that dominates an 18-seat conference area. The giant screen is flanked by reflective glass walls that amplify the immersive effect, evoking a visceral response and spontaneous discussion about minimizing and mediating carbon emissions.
IMMERSION 101:
The “Blue Marble” looms overhead, omnipresent in the fully immersive Flogistix space, given the mandate to limit greenhouse gases as our entire planet hangs in the balance. Here, powerful images, dramatic lighting and high-tech elements are orchestrated the careful modeling of space.
A lone drone from the FLOGISTIX fleet shares center stage in this story, underscoring the company’s ability to monitor and service its clients’ methane emissions at the wellsite, anywhere in the world.
