PACKARD PLACEPhoenix, Arizona

Located off a mid-block alley east of Central Avenue this two-story 9,683 s.f. building was the former home of Phoenix’s first Packard automobile dealership. Built primarily of unreinforced brick masonry construction, new windows and stairs were added to provide code required access and light. A complete upgrade of all existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural systems was necessary to provide for new tenant lease space. A generous landscaped shaded courtyard was developed for place making and improved entry experience.

815, 817, 821 N CENTRAL AVEPhoenix, Arizona

Located on the east side of Central Avenue one block north of the downtown Phoenix Public Market these buildings formerly housed a variety of different retail tenants until they were completely remodeled into their current office oriented use. Ranging from one to two stories in height and constructed primarily of unreinforced brick masonry construction any new openings in either the roof or exterior walls required extensive structural modifications. While not listed as historic buildings, a determined design emphasis was made to update these structures in a fashion sympathetic to their longevity. A variety of colors, materials, large windows and shaded awnings contribute to the pedestrian experience while enlivening the Downtown Phoenix streetscape.

A complete upgrade of all existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural systems as well as a new common restroom core on each floor was necessary to provide for new tenant lease space.

CHANDLER FIRE DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATION BUILDINGChandler, ArizonaThe 19,000 s.f. three-story Chandler Fire Department Administration Headquarters building is greatly influenced by historic fire station architecture. Careful consideration was given to the material selections to both echo this influence as well as complement the surrounding context in downtown Chandler, Arizona. The primary function of the administration building is to provide office spaces for fire department chiefs and personnel as well as an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Also considered was the desire to memorialize the history of the fire department. This was accomplished through the use of several focal points including a historic fire truck and fire pole located in a gallery style lobby. Repurposed fire hoses were woven together to create an overhead canopy that protects a large exterior balcony space surrounding the double height lobby while also providing solar control shading for this public space. The project is sited in a manner that creates a lively streetscape/pedestrian oriented presence. The Chandler Fire Department Administration building received LEED Gold Certification, the 2010 Arizona Masonry Guild Excellence in Masonry Architectural Craftsmanship Award and the 2010 City of Chandler Architectural Excellence Award.

THELEN - POLLICKADVERTISING ARTISANSPhoenix, Arizona

This former 3,500 +/- s.f. residence/insurance office was dark and gloomy; filled with many small rooms this existing one-story masonry building needed a complete makeover to accommodate the Thelen – Pollick Advertising Artisans.
