The town of Buckeye, AZ was supposed to grow to three million from a population of thirty thousand people. This posed a problem for the town offices which would relocated to a civic center. The design accommodates the existing population without overpowering them, but also has potential for expansion if the town grows.
The main entry to the Buckeye Town Hall creates a stepped plaza that is shaded by mesquite trees that are native to the area. The structure of the building reaches out of the walls to draw the user into the space as well as propose a potential expansion plan.
The side entry is recessed, but to a lesser degree than the front entry. The beams extend past the wall and tie the Buckeye Town Hall to the proposed Library across the sidewalk. 
Instead of projecting the entry out from the Buckeye Town Hall, it is tucked the father in on the south side of the building. The door is transparent along with the surrounding wall. Showing the users clearly what is inside, it also allows the structure to be seen puncturing the envelope of the building.
