Project location: Tubac, AZ Size: 4,000 s.f. Date completed: 2014
Our second Trading Post for the Winfield Trading Company, the Tubac location had some unique considerations and challenges- not the least of which were the very small, irregular site and its proximity to the arroyo and therefore the need to design a building which could withstand an unusual and unexpected flooding event. This trading post is distinctive amongst the surrounding shops but feels right at home in this historic artist’s town.

Project location: Phoenix, AZ Date completed: 1995
• Renovation of 136 guest rooms
• 1.4 acre site planning project in downtown Phoenix
• Features include custom pools, pavilions, amphitheater, playground, volleyball courts, putting green and numerous specimen planting areas.
The renovation of the 136-room hotel and grounds was done from 1994 to 1995 in downtown Phoenix, and reworked the aging building and grounds into a fresh family-friendly environment complete with a number of amenities.
Custom pools and pavilions were designed alongside playgrounds, volleyball courts and planters. In addition, an outdoor amphitheater was designed and constructed in order to facilitate larger gatherings of people and provide an �anchor� for the outdoor spaces. Together with the putting green, the hotel grounds now provided an ideal location for conferences, retreats and special events of all kinds.

• 60’x40′ covered outdoor stage with full A/V capabilities
Pepsi Amphitheater (formerly Pine Mountain Amphitheater) at Fort Tuthill Fairgrounds was an entire master-planned performance venue designed around a pre-existing stage at the fairgrounds.
The slope lent itself to a natural amphitheater, so RAR was able to design an outdoor stage roof and backdrop/performer’s prep rooms around the existing stage, and re-grade the site to allow for a path back up the hill to the concession/first-aid/restroom facility we designed as the entry element for all the venue amenities.
The amphitheater enjoys heavy use by a number of professional musicians every year.
