The expansion of Lido House will be conducted in three phases. Images courtesy The Warner Group Architects, Inc.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

R.D. Olson Construction began work on the expansion of the iconic Lido House hotel landmark in Newport Beach, Calif. To meet increasing demand, the expansion will include five additional cottages, meeting rooms, and The Cotton Pavilion, a new 56-m2<\/sup> (600-sf) event space.<\/p>\n

Since opening in 2018, the hotel has become an Orange County landmark due to its distinguishable Cape Cod aesthetic.<\/p>\n

The expansion of Lido House will be conducted in three phases. First, an old fire station that has remained vacant for years will be demolished. Concurrently, construction will begin on the glass pavilion building, the meeting space addition, and private dining space at the Mayor\u2019s Table Restaurant. Lastly, the new cottage building will be constructed.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>
Construction of the five new cottages will emulate the style of the existing cottages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Currently, the beachside hotel features five private cottages tucked behind the main building. The cottages are three stories tall and have rooftop terraces and fireplaces, exterior lounges, private indoor sunrooms, and fully equipped kitchens. Each cottage is named after local islands and takes design inspiration from nautical surroundings.<\/p>\n

Construction of the five new cottages will emulate the style of the existing cottages. They will all be constructed under one structure with wood framing, board and batten siding, standing seam roofs, copulas, and open roof decks while maintaining Lido House\u2019s contemporary Cape Cod Style Architecture<\/p>\n

Partners on the project include The Warner Group Architects, Inc., NBR Architects, MD&R Architects (cottage phase), Praxis Engineering (structural engineering), Tait & Associates (civil engineering), MEC Consulting (mechanical engineering), and Ridge Landscape Architects.<\/p>\n

The entire expansion will be finished by the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
