________
Located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, a chief end for this project was to create an outdoor refuge where associates could traverse and engage in a setting that acknowledged and enjoyed the natural beauty of the desert. We were commissioned to develop 3 new structures; a 4-story Parking Garage, Training Center, and Administration Building, and as a result an outdoor plaza would emerge in the space between. Stair-towers and the entire eastern face of the garage were clad in a Corten steel-mesh creating opportunities for vegetation to arise and establish this haven in the desert.

Ty Reece
AIA, LEED AP Homes
U of A graduate and son of local Arizona architect, Richard Reece, Ty grew up in a world where architecture was part of everyday life:
“I had the privilege of growing up in homes designed by my father where I witnessed ideas spring from his mind, land on paper for a time, and eventually emerge into reality; an experience I am eager to share.”
In 2013 Ty began work at nationally-renowned architectural firm Lake|Flato Architects, where his design philosophy about space, form, and material was shaped into what it is today: Honesty in Design, where buildings tell you the “how and why” they work the way they do.
Since returning home from Texas, Ty has had unique opportunities to expand his design skills across multiple commercial design projects, while clinging closely to his first love, residential design.
“As a husband and father of four, my aim is to help families create their one-of-a-kind legacy home where their children will, in years to come, return with children of their own. That is my passion, my joy.”
