Plans for the Oak Farms Dairy Site Were Just Released, And it’s the Bishop Arts Gateway Debacle All Over Again
Share News:
Well, You might as well call this round two of the battle over the look and feel of the Oak Cliff Gateway, as Good Fulton & Farrell just released a video of the firm’s initial plans for the redevelopment of the Oak Farms Dairy site. It’s a very visually prominent area, and what could be considered the true Oak Cliff Gateway.
And by all accounts, the architects didn’t learn a single thing from residents the last time they brought sterile, hospital-esque, red brick and stucco designs to North Oak Cliff.
And, just as quickly as the video was loaded, it has been removed.
This is even MORE frustrating than the Alamo Manhattan situation because GFF knows how our community feels about…

Video Link Broken.
Yep, that’s because Good Fulton & Farrell pulled the video down from Vimeo.
Can we all agree that this is a choreographed dance? Design firm releases sterile overkill souless mock-ups to set the bar as low as possible on cost, always budgeting for a compromise as design negotiations ensue. Be nice to skip the back and forth and get to the real plans.
