Luxury Homes

Returning to Oklahoma City, after four years in the Air Force, I ended the 60’s in a seven-year affair with Architecture.

Beginning as a draftsman/designer of luxury homes, I next turned to independent freelance home design. When this became routine, I took various jobs designing hospitals, clinics, offices, and restaurants trying to bring more of nature into architectural design.

Forest Garden

I used on-site sketches to crystallize the client’s vision of the buildings they were considering. Follow-up drawings often led to signed contracts. From then on my job became the drawing of all working floor plans and elevations, as well as electrical and mechanical sheets including specific construction details.

Forest Garden Detail
Forest Gardens for instance, was to be an 800-bed core hospital facility, augmented by a complete medical office building with underground parking for 900 vehicles. The actual structure would be 903, 863 sq. ft. This proposal was not built, but several others were.
