“Designers must continue to evolve using inspiration from fashion and product design to help the creative mind evolve from business as usual. I think pulling hyper-local arts and culture are more important now than ever. Authenticity is expected and the idea of a contrived composition no longer validates a sense of place. We strive to create something original and timeless in all we do that ultimately gives our owners a better ROI and NOI. We always think of their money like it’s our money. I also think sustainability and innovation with respect to the same is top of mind for most travelers. People want to protect Mother Earth and our value on projects and ownership that share these values.”

“Renovations have touched every corner of the property, with new villas designed to weave together the textures, colours and materials of the Texas landscape. Design elements inspired by indigenous Texas flora and fauna include cool, crisp blues that reflect the opulence of Texas Topaz and the bountiful surrounding lakes, and porcelain tile that nods to the earthy tones of sage and cactus. Touches of leather in warm brown and amber tones evoke the nostalgia of the property’s past as a ranch, with stitching details reminiscent of saddle craftsmanship.”

LEO A DALY expertise on adaptive reuse featured in The Military Engineer

 LEO A DALY Federal Account Lead Aaron Wilt and National Director of Engineering Kim Cowman coauthored an article in the March/April 2025 issue of The Military Engineer.

They shared the benefits of adaptive reuse of underutilized structures in creating efficiency and cost savings. And they discussed methods for successfully implementing adaptive reuse on even complex federal projects. Adaptive reuse, or revitalizing an existing building for a new purpose, can enhancing a building’s functionality and extending their lifespan. This method not only conserves resources but also contributes to urban renewal by integrating modern amenities into historic settings, thereby fostering economic and social growth in communities.

“With an aging building inventory and rapidly evolving mission needs, many federal facilities could use a reconsideration of highest and best use,” they wrote in the article. “Retrofitting existing buildings for something other than originally intended offers options for better achieving operational and mission objectives.”

Wilt and Cowman cited the Veterans Hospital in Tulsa, converting a vacant downtown Tulsa office complex into a 53-bed inpatient hospital for veterans. The project overcame several design challenges to create a successful conversion that will serve the veterans of Oklahoma.

 Wilt is a retired colonel with experience including managing multimillion-dollar programs and projects, leading cross-functional teams, facilitating relationships, and driving team success. In his 27-year Air Force career, he most recently served at the Pentagon before joining LEO A DALY.

Cowman, PE, LEED AP, HFDP, leads engineering and sustainability across LEO A DALY. Cowman’s responsibilities include technical advancement, strategic planning, leadership and management. A talented engineer and leader, Kim works closely with our integrated teams to ensure design excellence.
