Two West Chandler businesses were among five local entities s that received the Architectural Excellence Awards recently.
The city of Chandler recognized Alliance Bank, which graces Ray Road near Loop 101 and was designed by The Davis Experience. The 25,000 square-foot building features two above-ground floors and one floor below ground and the contemporary rooflines act as a floating element angled along the building. Custom finishes include stone-manufactured in India, tile from Italy and handcrafted millwork. Large sandstone tiles enhance the richness of the building’s color pattern.
The other West Chandler business recognized for architectural excellence is Chandler Regional Medical Center’s expansion on Frye Road. Once a small, rural hospital, the medical center is booming. A five-story, 128,500 square-foot addition includes a glass tower, angled wall panes and a white polycarbonate translucent wall system that lights up at nightfall.
