2010 Center for the Arts Building Addition needed a color palette for the interior finishes selected by Serbin Studio. Joseph Benesh, Past Director of the Center of the Arts wanted purple in the palette. The images below represent a co-mingling of dramatic purple with the welcoming hues of terra cotta brick that is the overwhelming majority of color in the 3 building complex located on 3rd Street over the I-10 Deck Park in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
From concept to implementation, Serbin Studio Architecture worked with the City of Buckeye on the Jackrabbit Park and Ride in 2014.
Serbin Studio Architecture worked with the City of Phoenix on the Public Transit Operating Facility Refurbishments in 2003.
Lara Serbin joined the Buckeye Main Street Coalition in 2010. Over the years, Lara and Jeff have dedicated more than a decade lending there architectural talents to local business owners in an effort to help revitalize Downtown Buckeye, Arizona.
2005 City of Phoenix Center for the Arts was a project that underwent many transformations. The initial scope was for a black box theatre retrofit in an existing church located in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona. Serbin Studio, Westlake Reed Leskosky, and City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department designed theatre, green room, rehearsal, and concession spaces. In 2009 the project was put on hold during the Design Development phase of the project.
2010 The City of Phoenix Center of the Arts project returned with a redefined scope. The work included remodel of existing restrooms at south and west buildings to satisfy current ADA codes. An addition of a building entry to the south building with elevator access to all floors. Another building addition was designed for an entry to the west building to provide elevator access to all floors. Finally, an addition of wheelchair lift for the theatre component of the south building. Serbin Studio worked with City of Phoenix and Brycon Construction in 2011 for all phases of Construction Administration.
