The Church of the Epiphany wanted to expand their 1980 church building into a classical crucifix shape configuration. The solution was to build a new contemporary worship space and convert their 1980 worship space into a new fellowship hall/multipurpose room and kitchen. The old fellowship hall, built in 1970, was then remodeled into new educational classrooms. The Church of the Epiphany was the first in Tempe to have received approval for the use of rammed earth. The contemporary design of rammed earth, brick masonry and copper has been used in construction for centuries. The rammed earth is used to complement the masonry and evokes the formation of clay brick in the construction. The compression of earth, binder and water in forms completes the process and provides a monolithic expression of the fundamental formation of the manufactured masonry, the perfect compliment to frame this place 21 Southwest Contractor 12/2003 Arizona Best of 2003 Best Private Project Under $5 Million Episcopal Church of the Epiphany Owner: Episcopal Church of the Epiphany Architect: Architectural Resource Team, Inc.

The innovative use of natural, locally obtained materials provides a nearly maintenance free exterior envelope that will last for at least 50 years. A newly added Celtic cross and fountain is the exterior focal point. The courtyard side of the new building addition can completely open for overflow and exterior events. The simple use of materials, earth and light are the keys to the wonderful success of this unique project. A copper cylinder, two-foot thick rammed earth walls, brick and glass (both colored and clear), enhance the building, while the roof appears to float on the glass.
Arizona Best of 2003 Best Public Project Over $5 Million Stevie Eller Dance Theatre Motion is meeting metal at the new Stevie Eller Dance Theatre on the campus of the University of Arizona, where designers and contractors created a signature building for the school's dance department. The movement of dance is echoed throughout the project, with the exterior shrouded with metal scrim that is twisted and warped to evoke specific dance movements. The metal scrim literally flows from the outside to the interior, becoming the ceiling of the lobby. The motion of dance replicated by the metal scrim transitions to gypsum “wiggle walls” in the 300 seat theater seating that undulate all the way to the proscenium of the stage. Structural steel columns leaning at 15 degrees also echo the movement of dance. As in most theaters, there is more to the 25,000-sq.-ft. project than just a place to watch a performance. Backhouse amenities include a dressing room that can double as a storage space, an orchestra pit and basement for more storage, and a large dance studio with a giant aluminum and glass storefront system looking out over a grassy mall. General contractor C.F. Jordan treated the job as three separate buildings when constructing the project. In the house area, much of the work was high up, especially on the stage, which has 70-ft. high ceilings. As always, it was a challenge for mechanical and electrical contractors to fit their components into tight spaces. Although the theater relies on a central plant for heating and cooling, custom-built air handlers specifically built for this theater are used.
