LOCATION:

Harbor Island, San Diego, CA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

One of the most important features of this project is the unity in brand signage and wayfinding that we have collaborated to develop. We have created an experience of seamless guidance through the site as members and guests make their way from the parking area through the marina resort amenities, from the monument sign in the entrance to the A-frame signage along the sidewalks.

Another enhancement is to create a member deck, which includes a unique sandpit with chaise lounges that provides a more tactile, fun experience than their concrete alternative. This gives the space a fun, beach-like vibe. This is one of three distinct areas of the member deck. The second of these will provide an accessible space with firepits that provide the opportunity to take in a different perspective of the bay with impressive sunset views. The third includes outdoor café seating for the existing deli that allows users to gather and dine alfresco.

In other site spaces, we will take out large chunks of concrete and fill them with planted areas to upgrade the luxurious environment. Along the waterfront, we will remove large areas of turf to replace them with shrubs and grasses that evoke a beach dune atmosphere. This area will also include decomposed granite pocket seating along the waterfront for sitting and relaxing.
