REMEMBERING ARCHITECT CALEB JOHN REED (1982-2025)

Wild Mountain Studios would not exist without Caleb and so we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of architect Caleb John Reed (1982–2025), a visionary architect whose contributions enriched Tulsa’s architectural landscape and beyond. Caleb, whose distinguished career included tenures at Arkitektfirma Helen & Hard in Norway, Marmol-Radziner in Los Angeles, and Marlon Blackwell in Fayetteville before his return to Tulsa with his independent architecture practice, FIELDSPACE, and roles with Freese Architecture. He passed away on May 6, 2025, at the age of 42.

Caleb’s work was characterized by a profound commitment to vernacular architecture and a deep love for the Oklahoma landscape, ecology, and history. For the past eight years, he channeled his creativity into designing and building innovative, place-based homes and a Studio on Wild Mountain in Osage County for himself and longtime friends, Mark Kuykendall and Anjelica Lindsey. His projects not only transformed physical spaces but also served as a meaningful bridge connecting personal vision with Tulsa’s cultural heritage.

Caleb was a valued member of the community. His extraordinary talent and passion for architecture leave a legacy that will be felt for generations to come.

Our deepest sympathies go out to his family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him. We remain committed to celebrating his visionary contributions to Wild Mountain Studios and will continue to honor his memory in our work.
