Cristian Aguilar — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The Mariposa Land Port of Entry in Nogales, Arizona is one of the busiest land ports in the United States, processing over 2.8 million northbound vehicles each year. The port serves as the entry point to 37% of the produce imported to the USA from Mexico and was in need of modernization and expansion due to the growth in trade since it was built in the 1970s. Completed in August 2014, the 55-acre site contains 270,000 GSF of buildings, inspection facilities and kennels for both south and northbound traffic.

Desiderata Alternative High School / Jones Studio

Kelly Minner — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Jones Studio was selected in 2004 to design a new space for the special Desiderata Alternative Program. This 125 student school is dedicated to helping teens with emotional disorders attain a high school education as well as learn basic life skills. Moving the school from a 1920’s historic building, “Desi” would be relocated into an industrial building. The 30,000 sqf program entailed a complete build-out after gutting the entire interior. A wide variety of program elements from administrative offices, classrooms, food preparation, therapy areas, and fitness rooms are arranged for optimal function within the existing shell.

The Architecture Building Expansion is a reflection of the school’s curriculum and a working laboratory for sustainable practices. The south side of the site is occupied by a water conservation demonstration garden showcasing five different Arizona ecosystems, where students and the public can learn about water efficient irrigation and native plants. Water captured from the roof deck and condensate from the HVAC system filters into a 12,000 gallon holding tank used for the garden’s irrigation system, resulting in an 87% reduction in the use of potable water for the garden.

Thurston Wine House Addition / Jones Studio

Kelly Minner — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The Thurston Wine House Addition carefully displays a respect for its context through its materiality and its tectonic language while expressing its unconventional program through its formal elements. Embedded into the topography of the site, the project takes advantage of its section by using the slope to decrease the visual impact of structure, allowing access to the northeast valley and McDowell Mountain views beyond. The Wine House also benefits from the thermal storage capacity of the earth itself, greatly reducing the demand of the mechanical systems throughout the year.
