Project highlights
Their challenge
Our client wanted to add a new locally inspired property in Huntington Beach, better known as Surf City, USA. They wanted to take inspiration from the vibrant surf culture of the area while being mindful that real estate is at a premium and salt in the air posed a higher risk of corrosion to materials.
Our solution
To save space and to mitigate the effects of the salty ocean air, the parking garage was built underground and includes
a specialized ventilation system with methane and carbon dioxide monitors. To conserve energy, mechanical system design includes a water-cooled central plant and integrated low voltage controls.
The results
This 191,000-square-foot luxury hotel has 250 guest rooms and amenities. It includes a full-service spa with both indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, restaurants, and a custom roof deck and bar.
