Rick Joy / Tucson Architecture

Studio Rick Joy (1999)

Architect Rick Joy's studio and the adjoining Convent Avenue Studios are located in Tucson's Barrio Historico. The mixed-use project is a combination of private and public adobe courtyards that transition from office to residential.

Many of the buildings are rammed earth, a signature construction method used by Joy. 

There was a Max Gottschalk chair in the main studio. However, when looking through Rick Joy's website, I came across this photo. Along with four other Gottschalk chairs, there is a monumental sculpture by Jack Boyd.

And here is a period photo with what looks like the same Boyd sculpture on a Max Gottschalk table.

The visit was part of a bike tour my friend and talented photographer, Logan Havens, led me on. 

Logan also knows where all the Charles Clement works are.
