Arizona Mountain Retreat - 21 May 2013
Elegant rammed earth house for Karen and David Francis whose primary residence is in San Diego. David grew up in Arizona so the Tucson Mountain Retreat and living in the desert are like a homecoming for him.

Contemporary Arizona House - 24 Apr 2013
This vast and strikingly beautiful desert landscape is the inspiration for this simple contemporary residential design. The tectonic mechanisms responsible for the landscape, where mountain ranges seem to slide past each other, is emulated by massive parallel walls of the house.

Phoenix Observation Tower - 20 Dec 2012
Designed as a major attraction for both tourists and locals in the Valley of the Sun: conceived as a reinforced concrete tower topped with an open-air spiral sphere. The spiraling sphere connects to the ground using three glass elevators.

University of Arizona Poetry Center
After nearly 50 years of patiently seeking out every new poetry publication, the University of Arizona amassed one of the finest collections of Contemporary Poetry in America. With collection in hand, the University set out to design its new home; a facility for archiving, research, reading, teaching, and contemplation.
Sunrise Mountain Library

Sunrise Mountain Library
A replacement for a joint use public library in a high school that had been in existence for over ten years, the new building is a modern full-service regional library with a 100,000-piece collection. The facility utilizes RFID and self-service technology. Sliding glass walls and shelving on wheels allow for expanded programming space but is aesthetically pleasing when not in use. Glassed in study rooms and gallery entrances make for an almost perfect line of sight anywhere in the main areas. Ample wall space allowed for the City to display an impressive art collection that had been selected with the architect’s assistance.
Garcia Residence
Ibarra Rosano Design Architects

Tucson Mountains House
The Garcia site is a steep north-facing slope in the foothills of the Tucson Mountains with commanding views of city lights and the surrounding mountains. Our challenge was to design a structure that would appear to grow out of the rocky desert hillside without dominating the landscape.

Cesar Chavez Library
Located in an existing park adjacent to a man-made lake the 25,000 sqft building is designed to serve 40,000 visitors per month within one of the fastest growing areas of Phoenix, the Village of Laveen. Due to the density of nearby housing, the park is the backyard for the community, and in the same sense, the library was designed to be its living room - an interior place for interaction of families and friends, as well as space for individual family members to “do their own thing.”
