Square Footages
The entire subject property totals 8,390 SF. The new bar and taproom, known as
Val’s Bar, will replace the existing building along Boston Street frontage. Val’s Bar
will be a ground-up construction project with approximately 3,050 SF of interior
space. At the north end of the property there is an existing bungalow-style house
currently being used as an event space. This 875 SF building will be repurposed into
a kitchen building for on-site food service. This food service is secondary to the
primary use – bar and taproom. The rest of the outdoor areas approximating 4,400
SF will be used for outdoor seating and open lawns during the appropriate seasons.
The access from Val’s to the outdoor seating areas is easily achieved from the
northern set of doors.
Occupancy
The interior of Val’s Bar will seat approximately 190 people whereas the exterior
spaces are designed to achieve an additional 190 people.
Site Improvements
Val’s Bar will be a brand-new building with integrated raised planter beds. These
planter beds will exist along the building frontage of Boston Street as well as on the
northern side of the building. The existing hedges along the west, the plants along
the north property line and the palm tree are intended to stay. On-site ground
surfaces will remain a combination of turf lawn and permeable pavers. There are no
changes to parking or patio fencing. Pedestrian access will be designed in a way
that does not violate laws relating to alcohol consumption. Building signage along
Boston Street will exist on the elevation of Val’s Bar and follow Chandler’s signage
guidelines.
Architectural Design
Val’s Bar will exist along the Boston Street corridor in the City Center District of
Chandler, Arizona. The Bar’s design exhibits a modern architectural style that
harmonizes with the city’s vibrant character while honoring its historical roots with
its material palette choice. The new building’s facade, characterized by terracotta-
like breeze block, expansive, operable windows and verdant plants creates a
welcoming connection to the active thoroughfare along Boston Street. A carefully
curated landscape design weaves drought tolerant plants and greenery into the
building’s street elevation, softening the structure’s edges whilst inviting patrons
into a nature-infused environment.
As one moves north past the new bar, an outdoor lawn joins the new bar and the
875 SF bungalow-style house at the rear of the property. Revitalization and
reappropriation of the historic house serve as a focal point, breathing life and
activity into the surrounding outdoor leisure spaces.
The interior of the bar offers a dynamic interplay of indoor and outdoor experiences
- natural daylight from a feature skylight conveys daylight deep into the core of
the building, enhancing the ambiance and reducing energy demands. Verdant
interior spaces and strategically placed planters blur the boundaries between built
and natural environments, fostering a sense of tranquility and leisure. The modern
theme continues through simple, durable furnishings, creating a warm, inviting
atmosphere. By blending innovative design, sustainable landscaping, and a nod to
its historical context, this project aims to enrich the Boston Street corridor as a
destination for community connection and invigorate Chandler’s vibrant character.
