I like the design of the building (Modern Farmhouse meets Apocalypse Now), but I happen to think AHMM is wildly overrated.

I personally think AHMM has done a phenomenal job in OKC. This building makes sense to me in context of the site. The barrel vault calls back to the history of it being an airfield, its using metal siding which fits in with all the other existing materials on the site, etc. This building is going to be beautiful.
Looks ugly as hell to me.
We hate when the city doesn't pay homage to its past. This building does just that, and now we are complaining.
Architecture is always polarizing; especially anything that has ambition.
But I'd much, much rather have buildings that take a little risk and are interesting because we have so little good architecture in this town.
I keep expecting Gomer Pyle to be walking out of this building with a big smile on his face while Sergeant Carter yelling at him.
Great job of tying in the round top hangar style. Perfect fit for the area.
my opinion plus $1 will buy me a cup of coffee... but i personally like the design.
Thanks for the pics on post #2042, Andrew. Does anyone know where this will be located in the master plan of the neighborhood? I'm trying to find the most recent layout for the development but can't locate any detailed images or plans. Does Wheeler have their next phases of builds set? An updated master plan would be really neat to see how the neighborhood is coming together in light the of the Big Easy brewery, commercial building, park, and numerous houses popping up.
Steel is going up on the Big Friendly Brewery next to the future Terminal Commons Cafe.
This is going to be such a neighborhood!
Does Lackmeyer do any independent reporting or does he simply repeat what he’s been told? I seriously doubt Blair Humphreys told him this because it’s obviously not true. There aren’t close to 40 families moved in; there aren’t even 40 houses completed. And there are at least 3 houses completed that haven’t been sold. Lastly, they’ve been building the spec homes for months now—they aren’t just starting to build them.
Just saw this on the last chat and it annoyed me because I’ve been following the development closely and it’s not hard to get these facts correct.
Don’t want to argue with how many families have moved in, but the other numbers seem to be pretty accurate. All you have to do is look at the pics above that Pete took and count the homes. I counted 42 either completed or close to complete and 12 in various earlier stages of construction. My wife sent out mailers to the two dozen or so addresses at Wheeler back in the summer and I would guess several others have moved in since that time.
