Air Guitar is a 5,000 square foot interior space dedicated to high-quality convenience retail at a busy intersection in Gilbert, Arizona. The innovative structure is more like a glass pavilion situated between two solid masses that protect the building from east and west light while remaining completely open on the north and south.
A large horizontal roof plane of perforated metal shades the glass and creates a generous 3,000 sf exterior patio space both north and south of the building. This innovative and highly resolved building is the result of a passionate client who believes in the power of architecture and a team of architects and engineers who feel vocationally called to create spaces that delight and inspire culture.
