< Restaurant - Christopher’s at the Wrigley Mansion
Show/Hide

Location - Phoenix, Arizona


The New Christopher’s is designed as an open faceted Garden Pavilion beneath a historic grove of Eucalyptus radiating outwards from the northwest corner of the southeast-facing Wrigley Mansion toward it’s re-imagined arrival / drop-off / wedding venue. In contrast to the 1929 Mission / Spanish Revival Mansion, it is designed to recede as a garden shadow by day and to merge into the desert night with elegant dark finishes, which allow the food, who you are with, the Wrigley Mansion’s historic façade and its’ hyper-panoramic valley view to be the star.

Construction was permitted in early 2019 and was later expanded to include a Master Plan that re-envisioned a new arrival experience, complete with a new shaded greeter station, a new comprehensive signage package, new driveway and a new wedding venue at the top of the hill on axis with the Historic Mansion’s Rotunda that re-imagined the turnaround as a complimentary outdoor rotunda with its’ seating aligned with the arms of the Wrigley Mansion, which now incorporate for the first time ADA accessibility to all private club venues within the Mansion. The historic front door to the Rotunda is now axially extended with a processional wedding / arrival path at the lower level turnaround to an elevated wedding perch high above the hillside / valley floor, where the historic backdrop of both this Mansion, its’ site, and its’ awe-inspiring view of the Valley of the Sun is subtly re-positioned to be a more vital part of the greater Phoenix community.
