The mixed-use concept is composed of four structures which are connected by a public plaza with a pedestrian bridge to cross the canal and bridged alleys separating the buildings. The plaza, alleys, street and canal frontage evoke a European use of public space with patio dining and retail displays while the architecture provides an eclectic style reminiscent of an early 20th century warehouse setting in a contemporary world.

• Golf Shop
Project Architect: Douglas Fredrikson Architects
Interior Design: Studio 4 Design
Contractor: Lloyd Construction

Developer: Greenbrier SW Corporation
Developer: Ritz-Carlton
Location: Marana, Arizona
Project Description: Provide exterior and interior photographs to define the proximity and architecture of this world class golf facility. Settled into the south slope of the Tortolita Mountains north of Tucson, AZ this former Hohokam site and, most recently, Eugene Cayton homestead provides a definitive Sonoran Forest environment for the new home of the Accenture World Match Play Championship. The Architecture is evocative of its setting by embracing the profile of the mountains and expressing the wide open vistas with well defined interior views and outdoor patios. A stone structure which provided shelter to Cayton still stands on the property and was an inspiration for the material pallet of the clubhouse.
