画廊
这个画廊既不是博物馆也不是公共画廊，它的空间序列将人们引导从展示单个作品的私密房间到展示藏品的广阔区域。由现场精心制作的混凝土墙组成，它由一系列不同体量的复杂堆叠组成，通过楼梯和桥梁相互连接。每个体量都作为艺术品的独立展示空间，同时也保持对整体的认识。意想不到的景观、从上方吸引而来的自然光以及具有创造性的材料的楼梯吸引着好奇心。一片天窗设置在低矮宽阔的空间上方，提供了从其下层阴暗氛围中戏剧性释放出来的效果。这些角度锐利而尖锐的天窗反射和过滤光线，将其变成柔和的“模糊”光。
画廊中两个显著的时刻，一个是包容，一个是释放，都围绕着圆形窗户展开，这些窗户是内部空间的焦点。在画廊的相反端，花园下方是一个小型洞穴般的房间，有一个单独的眼窗，通向上方的世界。这是一个私密的空间，可以静静地思考作品，同时保持与上方白天波动的微弱联系。
面向街道的砖石表面被压缩到中央形成一个圆形的凹陷，其中心是一个大型的眼窗，以及一个较小的偏移伴侣窗户。在内部，凹陷的墙壁将注意力集中在这个突出的开口上，将外部世界引入画廊之中。
表演空间
表演空间是一个独特的钟形空地，由阶梯状和轮廓分明的木梁组成，嵌入在大厅和通道的布料中。
就像伊丽莎白时代的剧院一样，行动在圆形中展开，从许多不同的角度观看。一个突出的阳台环绕在空间内，形成一个备用的舞台或观赏盒。通道可以直接通行，也可以通过一组优雅的阶梯平台，旨在吸引视线和俯视。
超大型的金色窗户允许街道上的光线进入这个否则黑暗的空间。剧院内部的木材来自数字模板在工厂制作并在现场组装。
上方，一个供艺术家使用的会议空间和其伴随的花园庭院以明亮和洁白的色调塑造，捕捉到意想不到的种植物、当地景观和天空景观。
外部砖石表面是整体建筑的一个组成部分，以一个独特的表达方式包容了内部世界的多样性。DBJ的墙面倾斜、弯曲和阶梯式的街道花园和多重图案的‘云窗’。
砖块本身非常长而扁平，类似于堆叠的石头，并强调了砂浆接缝。一层薄薄的灰泥被覆盖在砖块上，以夸大表面的连续性。然后，在内外世界交汇的地方，表面被凹陷、扭曲、切割和拱形。这个共同创作的项目是由两家建筑公司进行了开放性讨论。也许这个项目对另一方的贡献和洞察力更具吸引力。这个想法似乎呼应了菲尼克斯中央公园的主要意图：成为一个艺术中心，在视觉艺术和表演艺术之间进行不断的对话。
The Gallery
Neither house museum nor public gallery, this sequence of spaces choregraphs a journey from intimate rooms for the display of single works to expansive areas to showcase collections. Cast with walls of concrete painstakingly made on site, it comprises a complex stack of differing volumes interconnected by stairs and bridges. Each volume acts as an individual setting for art but also retains an awareness of the overall ensemble. Unexpected views, natural light drawn from above, and stairs of material inventiveness attract the curious. A field of skylights set across a low wide space provide dramatic release from the darker atmosphere of its lower realm. Angular and sharp, they reflect and filtering the light into a soft, ‘fuzzy’ glow.
Two prominent moments in the gallery, of containment and release, are set around circular windows, oculi that are the focus of internal spaces. At the opposite reaches of the gallery, below the garden is a small cave-like chamber with a single ocular skylight to the world above. It is an intimate space for quiet contemplation of a work whilst maintaining a tenuous link to the fluctuations of the day above.
The brick surface facing the street has been pressed inward to create a circular dimple at the centre of which is a large oculus window, and a smaller offset companion window. Internally, the dimpled wall concentrates attention on this figured opening to the world beyond the gallery.
Performance space
The performance space is a singular bell-shaped clearing, made by stepped and contoured timber ribs, embedded in a fabric of lobbies and circulation.
Like an Elizabethan theatre, the action is in the round, seen from many vantage points. A projecting balcony loops into the volume, creating an alternate stage or viewing box. The circulation is direct or via a gracious set of stepped landings, scaled for arresting movement and inviting overview.
The over-scaled gold window allows glimpses and light from the street in an otherwise dark space. The theatre is lined with timber fabricated from digital templates in the factory and assembled on site.
Above, a meeting space for artists and its companion garden courtyard are modelled in brightness and whiteness, capturing unexpected planting, local vignettes and sky views.
The outer brick surface is a binding element of the overall building, finding a singular expression to contain the diverse interior worlds within. DBJ’s wall cants, curves and steps for a street garden and multi-figured ‘cloud window
The bricks themselves are unusually long and flat, akin to a stacked stone and emphasising the mortar joints. A thin veil of mortar has been washed over the bricks to exaggerate the continuity of surface. This surface is then dimpled, twisted, cut and vaulted around openings where inside and outside worlds meet.
The co-authored project has been guided by open discussion by both architectural firms. The project is perhaps a more compelling proposition for the input and insight of the other. This idea seems to echo the primary intention of Phoenix Central Park: to be an artistic hub where visual and performing arts are in constant dialogue with one another.
