But that wasn't the only kind of design on Martin's resume. As a staffer at Southwest Research Institute, he studied the use of lightweight materials for structures in hostile environments — which included silos for the Thor ballistic missile.
During his years as an architect, Martin also designed a few houses, bringing various influences into his work, including Art Deco design he learned while studying in Europe.
This $630,000 Martin-designed house for sale in Terrell Hills is one of his his works from 1959. On this project, the architect clearly embraced the Mid-Century Modern style.
The updated split-level boasts vaulted ceilings and clean lines. It also has a wide walkway that looks down into both sides of the open floor plan below. Located on the outskirts of Fort Sam Houston, the house has a private entrance into Bel Meade Park.
