The McRoy Building at Oakwell Farms is a 10,000 s.f. professional office building planned for a very tight and heavily wooded site in the Oakwell Farms Development in San Antonio. Fitting all of the parking and siting the building were challenges that were addressed during the design phase. The building was sited so that the entry faced the intersection of Oakwell Court and Lynn Batts Lane. The building Owner’s space was oriented to take advantage of the view at the back of the building which consisted of the woods and a natural water feature.

The building itself is a single story interpretation of Frank LLoyd Wright’s Prairie Style with a strong horizontal focus and large roof overhangs. The natural Limestone is accented with green slate bands which compliment the standing seam metal roof. The interior of the building utilizes stained concrete floors and features a large metal mobile designed and constructed by the building Owner to hang in the skylit atrium.
