The range of his imagination is reflected in his designs for theme-based complexes ranging from the Newport Hotel, Sequoia Lodge, Hotel New York and Hotel Santa Fe in France to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort in Florida. His work is also well known in Texas, where his talents are evident at Galveston's Moody Gardens and Houston's Chevron Tower, 1600 Smith Tower, Geosource Plaza at The Galleria, and the Lakes at 610 among other projects. He has also been involved in golf course and country club design and construction as well as the Hurricane Andrew relief effort.
