Theo Marchetti
Executive Director
Theo managed a downtown hotel for fifteen years before he took over the Foundry in 2019. He still can't throw a pot, and residents remind him often.

A small crew that fixes, cooks, teaches and keeps the lights on.
Our team
Who runs the place
Dana Feldman, RN
Wellness Nurse
Dana spent twenty years in home health. She runs Tuesday blood-pressure clinics and is the person to call when a doctor's instructions don't make sense.
Andre Hollis
Executive Chef
Andre cooked at two Tulsa restaurants you've probably eaten at. He writes the Pour Room menu every Sunday night and teaches the bread class himself.
Keisha Rowland
Studio and Programs Director
Keisha is a working printmaker who books the visiting artists, keeps the kilns firing and makes sure every new resident tries every studio at least once.
Gabriela Ríos
Leasing Director
Gabriela walks every family through floor plans, rent and move-in. She'll tell you which lofts get the best morning light.
Samuel Osei
Shop Steward
Samuel was a cabinetmaker for thirty years. He runs the woodshop orientation and is never more than ten feet from the table saw when it's running.
Rosa Delgado
Housekeeping Lead
Rosa's crew keeps ninety-two lofts and four studios clean. She knows which residents want the clay dust left alone.
Imani Brooks
Resident Services Coordinator
Imani handles shuttles, tickets, guest lofts and the hundred small things that make a building run. If you need it, ask Imani.
Sample family reviews
Straight from residents
I ran a machine shop for thirty-eight years. I figured retirement meant a lawn chair. Instead I've got a lathe downstairs and a waiting list of grandkids who want bowls.
Mom was lonely and bored in the suburbs. Now she has a kiln schedule, a print-room partner and a better social life than I do.
Fourteen-foot ceilings. I finally have a wall big enough for my quilts.
Andre's Thursday short ribs are reason enough to live here. The rest is a bonus.
Dad's not a 'senior living' guy. He toured, saw the woodshop, and signed the lease that afternoon.
We walk to the Admiral Twin, we take the shuttle to jazz on Greenwood, and somebody else fixes the toilet. That's the deal and it's a good one.
Gabriela was straight with us about every fee before we ever signed anything. No fine print.
I taught high-school art for thirty years. Now I teach Tuesday painting to retired engineers. They argue about perspective. It's wonderful.
After my knee surgery the home health nurse came right to my loft, and Dana made sure everybody was on the same page. I never felt stuck.
Bring your tools. We'll clear a bench.
Call or text Theo, or book a tour online. Tours run until six; the studios stay open until ten.
