ABOUT US
OUR HISTORY
In 1996, Richard Winterrowd moved back to his hometown of Ponca City from Dallas, Texas where he teamed up with Troy Lewis to start Lewis Associates Architects. The firm has been in business continuously since its founding in 1996. In 2017, Sally Talley also moved back to her hometown of Ponca City from Chickasha, Oklahoma to join Lewis Associates Architects. The name was then changed to Winterrowd Talley Architects in 2019 with Troy's retirement and Sally's new partnership with Richard.
OUR MISSION
Winterrowd Talley Architects approaches each project with the goal of achieving design excellence that meets aspirational and technical goals while also providing a cost-effective solution. Our goal is to provide outstanding architectural service tailored to the client’s vision. We thrive on breathing new life into existing structures while we refine our expertise in remodels and expansions that span a diverse range of building types. We are committed to seamlessly integrate new additions into existing structures in a way that enhances the aesthetic. From the first conversation to the final detail, we listen, internalize, and create, ensuring that every design reflects its purpose and the client’s vision.
We believe a highly collaborative team-based approach that achieves consensus early on is essential, and successful projects require:
- Clarity of program goals, while allowing flexibility
- Effective decision making
- A consistent team on all sides, from the owner to the designer and construction team
- Collaboration between all team members
- Shared values between owner, architects and construction team
- Reconciliation of desired program with the available budget
