A coworker and I went to Oklahoma City Thursday to visit customers and go to a gas industry luncheon. We got downtown a little early so we wandered over to the Devon Building in search of a cup of coffee. The building was just completed in March. In the lobby they have a spectacular reflecting pool. I was really fascinated by it.
The water is less than an inch deep and I love its wrapped around design. I’ll be coming back when I have more time and a better camera as all I had was my Ipod Touch.
I’ll be taking more pictures of the exterior. The photo below was taken about this time last year.
The building is really striking. It is about 850 feet tall and dominates the skyline for miles around. There will be an restaurant, open to the public, at the top that is opening soon. I hope the food will be able to match the view.
Devon Tower
The building’s lobby looks elegant to me. Really nice!
lovelty .. can’t wait to see more
What a spectacular building. Beautiful. 🙂
I love the reflecting pool!! What a great capture for the day! And a spectacular building it is!! Hope you have a great weekend! Enjoy!
Did you go wading, or waiting until the next visit? Interesting idea with the reflecting pool.
That’s one impressive building.
gorgeous reflections… LOVE that first shot, wow!
Nice! (I’m glad the whole day wasn’t wasted with a meeting ;>)and at least you got a good picture for the blog.)
I hope the food is great at that restaurant when it opens — it would be a beautiful place to dine (I’m sure it will be ‘dine’ and not just ‘eat’!)
Your iPod is taking great pics Yogi – or maybe it’s you.
Spectacular reflection photo. Unless you need a telephoto the Touch and Iphone takes an excellent photo.
joli coups d oeil bravo !
What a delightful feature in the entrance – unexpected in a “Gas” building!!! You Americans are used to tall buildings, but you wouldn’t get me dining at 850 feet! I suffer from vertigo:-)
I think I misread – perhaps Devon Tower isn’t a “gas” building after all. If not, what’s it going to house?
I was born in OKC and the Devon Tower is a beautiful building but it seems to make the skyline out of whack. I can’t explain it and maybe I’m just used to the old skyline but this is a awesome structure.
Beautiful reflection and great architecture.
So little water? That’s amazing. It is a grand design.
New building, new source of reflection ! That will be a treat for our eyes.
I’m sure that the food will match the view, the question is, will the prices match the elevation?
The lobby and reflecting pool are impressive. Your photo really captured it.
