The Bavinger House was completed in 1955 in Norman, Oklahoma, United States. It was designed by architect Bruce Goff. Considered a significant example of organic architecture,[2][3] the house was awarded the Twenty-five Year Award from the American Institute of Architects in 1987.[4] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001,[2] and was removed from the National Register in 2017 after being demolished the previous year.[5]
