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

Avenue one block north of the
downtown Phoenix Public Market

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
historicbuildings,adetermineddesign

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

THE BARTON OFFICE BUILDING
Phoenix, Arizona
This 18,000 s.f. two-story building
was a former single user office
building on a 1.12 acre site.
Conversion to a new flexible multi-
tenant office building required the
addition of an elevator inspired by
the existing mid-century architecture
and located just outside the existing
building footprint for tenant suite size
flexibility and maximum leasable
building area. 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 BUILDING
Chandler, Arizona
The 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.
