Ware Malcomb has completed the construction phase of Shade, a new property debuting in Redondo Beach, California. The hotel comprises two three-story buildings, one accommodating 54 guestrooms across 50,700 square feet and the other housing 11,600 square feet of event space. It is the second Shade location in California, following the previous debut of the Shade hotel in Manhattan Beach.
Both the hotel and event structures bear wood frames complete with a smooth plaster finish and frosted glass railings. Shade signatures such as whale-bone fins, granite entry portals, and high sloping roof elements with stainless steel fascias are also featured. In addition to a seaside restaurant and lounge and ballroom, Shade features two meeting rooms and breakout spaces as well as a rooftop pool deck and events area
“This new hotel truly lives up to the extraordinary reputation of the original, while also establishing a distinct presence of its own in Redondo Beach,” says Ware Malcomb principal for commercial architecture Tom Myers. “Shade is designed to be a coastal oasis for guests, while also providing an unparalleled special event venue in Southern California.”
