After his well-received modernist Dessau House (built 1937–1939), he was commissioned to design the Washington State Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair alongside Victor N. J. Jones and Carl Frelinghuysen Gould.

In his later years, he gradually shifted away from housing projects towards designing offices and sorting facilities for the United Parcel Service, with his last commission in 1968–1970.

After this, he began work for Link & Haire, a regional architectural firm based in Lewistown, Montana.

In 1923–1925 he designed the Donovan House in Bellingham, Washington, based on Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, including a red-tile roof and white stucco.

"[3] Thanks to positive press from the Dessau House, he was tasked to design the Washington State Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair with Victor N. J. Jones and Carl Frelinghuysen Gould.

[3] In 1937, he partnered with the Philadelphia firm Mellor, Meigs & Howe to design a Tudor Revival house for Phi Gamma Delta in the University District.

[1][6] During World War II, he directed architects in the defense housing commissions at Gatewood Heights and Seward Park, as well as the Rainier Vista School in Seattle.

Although still incorporating northwest regional styles in works such as the Rubinstein House (constructed 1945–1947), he moved towards an increasingly "pure" modernist aesthetic over the course of the late 1940s in civic designs such as the Seattle Public Schools Administration Building and Catharine Blaine Junior High School.

For his UPS distribution center in Seattle (constructed 1950–1951), he worked alongside Jack Christiansen, who engineered a thin-shelled concrete roof for the building.
