Situated on the serene yet spectacular Newport Beach, CA waterfront sits luxurious Peninsula Village. Created by Redwood West, this elevated development is a holistic blend of work and life, with chef-driven restaurants, boutique fitness and wellness studios, and state-of-the-art private office spaces mere steps away from its upscale, oceanview residences. Access to private marina slips keeps the accent on outdoor living for this sophisticated and forward-thinking community.
Chandler Clark, Redwood West’s VP of Construction & Marina Management, talked to Infratech about how Peninsula Village was designed to foster a community focus that’s perfectly in line with the spirit of Newport Beach living. The outdoor destinations were designed with trellises, firepits, lighting, and Infratech heaters to bring beauty and comfort to the restaurants, cafes, and living spaces — with an eye toward a coastal, light, indoor/outdoor feel.
Every detail — from local woods to beachy rope accents — was carefully selected to bring an upscale, locally specific atmosphere to the project. Infratech heaters were the top choice for every restaurant space, and the varying install options reflect the design needs of each dining area. “The restaurants in particular have an outdoor component to them,” says Clark, “so we needed to make sure that during those breezy nights, people didn’t want to go inside.”
Clark explains that Infratech brings design versatility, simplicity, and effective heat to the outdoor areas. “The point of this project was to put an emphasis on the view, on being outdoors. We’re not rolling around these massive heaters and storing them. It’s a big cost-savings as well as a massive savings to the culture of the project,” he says.
“I would definitely recommend Infratech to, not only other clients, but for other projects we manage. Infratech is the only heater company that we use,” he adds.
