When outdoor space is designed as part of the restaurant—not simply added onto it—the result can be pretty spectacular. ✨
It was a pleasure for Slide Clear to play a part in creating the new Telefèric Barcelona at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, California.
Telefèric Barcelona brings an authentic taste of Barcelona to the U.S., and this newest location is set to open next week. Judging by what we've seen, Newport Beach is in for a treat.
What I particularly like about this project is how thoughtfully the patio was approached.
Rather than simply covering an outdoor area, the team created an environment that feels like an extension of the restaurant itself.
A beautiful fabric canopy from J. Miller Canvas provides protection and a warm, intimate atmosphere, while Slide Clear operable glass walls provide another layer of environmental control without taking away the openness of the space.
Wood blinds were then incorporated inside the glass enclosure, giving the restaurant the ability to control privacy and shade independently from weather protection.
Sun coming in? Close the blinds.
Beautiful California afternoon? Open the glass. ☀️
Windy or cool evening? Close the glass while maintaining the views.
That's what we mean by designing outdoor spaces around adaptability.
Cover. Shade. Privacy. Protection. Airflow. Comfort.
Each element has a purpose, but together they create an outdoor environment the restaurant can rely upon through far more conditions and throughout more of the year.
Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this beautiful space together.
And yes—we'll certainly be adding ourselves to the reservation list. The only remaining challenge may be deciding which tapas to order first. 🍽️
Outdoor Comfort. Any Season. Any Time.
