3,485SF | Three Bar and Lounge Areas  | Scottsdale, Arizona

This very intense remodel project blended high-end entertainment design with intricate architectural coordination and construction administration. The project was commissioned for a long-time client –Triyar Hospitality, who opened their W Hotel in Scottsdale in 2008. As the centerpiece of the Scottsdale Entertainment district, the W Hotel became the focus of an ever-expanding evolution of design improvements and remodels, including this one.

Triyar partnered with Davis Ink Design, Cawley Architects, and Sigma Contracting to deliver this exclusive top-floor, outdoor poolside bar, and lounge. Davis Krumins, the founder of Davis Ink, designed the project. His innovative, high-end design firm specializes in bars, nightclubs, and restaurants. They are known for producing “out of the box” projects that feature dramatic, detailed, and “never have been seen before” results. True to their profile, Davis Ink used high-level creativity in producing this bar and lounge’s features, such as a 1,370 SF central bar with an organic ceiling and a 1,125 SF main lounge area reflecting the sophistication of the W Hotel’s clientele.

As the Architect of Record, Cawley Architects coordinated and produced all the architectural and engineering drawings and administered the project through construction. The intricate design required multiple details of every condition, adapting the unique design features to the existing hotel structure. As a result, much of the work is hidden behind the design. For instance, the waterproofing assemblies required to blend the outdoor facing bar and lounge needed to be carefully integrated with the pool areas deck systems. The credit for the success of this project goes to the Cawley Tenant Improvement team and our industry-leading stand-alone Construction Administration team.

26,100 SF | Multi-Tenant Industrial | Gilbert, Arizona

VJ Baseline s a new multi-tenant light industrial building for lease in Gilbert, Arizona. The project features five suites for lease and is designed with ample parking and rear yard maneuvering for light assembly and industrial uses. Additionally, because the building also presents a prominent frontage on Baseline Road, it is ideal for showroom, retail, and office uses. The highlighted vertical piers and accent features on the facade and sign band also bring attention to the building.

Interestingly, the project overcame several municipal and planning challenges. While the property is inside the Gilbert city limits, Baseline Road is maintained and managed by Mesa. The project’s site and utility improvements needed approvals from both cities’ traffic engineering and utility departments. And the project’s site was “carved” out of a much larger parcel with existing site circulation and driveways that also needed to be accommodated.

40,912 SF | Retail | Peoria, Arizona

83rd Marketplace is a mixed-use neighborhood center featuring retail spaces and restaurants on a dramatic site in Peoria. The retail buildings and pad sites are designed to take advantage of the sloping site and adjacency to a City of Peoria desert mountain preserve. The project design features several buildings for retailers and high-end restaurants with patios.

Designed as a contemporary interpretation of rustic western architecture, the center features a theme incorporating architecturally unique suites and various distinctive architectural spaces for shops and restaurants. Together, they create an architecturally striking and unusual retail center.

Developed in phases, the first phase consists of two buildings of 8,500 SF and 7,500 SF. The buildings converge at the apex of the site and face the intersection of the two thoroughfares, articulated with patios and canopies to create a unique pedestrian and customer environment. The buildings also incorporate gabled roofs at the entries, multiple roofs and parapet heights, and traditional western standing seam roofs throughout. The use of exposed structural steel elements also contributes to the project vocabulary and the project’s unique architecture.

The second and third phases are currently under development to fill out the 41,000 SF of project square footage.
