Margaret Larcade’s first interior design job was in New York City, working in an architectural and store planning firm on large department stores and small boutiques. She was responsible for every finish material and color, wallpaper, furniture and fabric used in these projects, learning to work with multiple contractors. She also immersed herself in the furniture and textile houses, caressing glorious fabrics and sitting on almost every piece of mid-century modern furniture. Margaret studied interior design at Syracuse University and upon graduation she went to New York City studying at the New York School of Interior Design. She furthered her skills with a year off by immersing herself in the American Craft Movement studying ceramics and metals. She met John at Oppenheimer and Brady Architects where she was the interior designer and was assigned to several of his projects. They married and moved first to Houston, then to San Antonio where Margaret practiced interior design working on projects with John and his partners, Some of her exterior color work can be seen in the historic Monte Vista area and in Alamo Heights in San Antonio as well as San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
