This privately owned aviation hangar in Midland, Texas was a design-build collaboration between Parkhill and Teinert Construction.

Exterior materials such as limestone, black metal panels, and horizontal glazed clay units were selected to create a textural experience that provides a background for the native, drought tolerant landscape.

Inside, it features a warm and inviting lounge, an extension of the family’s private residence, while extending a corporate executive aesthetic. The natural walnut, leather and velvet contrast the utilitarian hangar volume. The stark wall finishes showcase commissioned art selected by the family to convey the enjoyment of travel and wonder.
