When The Huntington Club in Huntington Beach, CA began remodeling its outdoor event space and member restaurant, the team wanted more than just updated finishes—they were seeking a way to create an atmosphere that felt welcoming, vibrant, and memorable. Their goal was to elevate both function and ambiance, turning ordinary surfaces into design features that reflected the club’s standard of excellence. To achieve this, they partnered with Unreal Designs, knowing our expertise in custom greenery installations would bring warmth, life, and a touch of sophistication to their newly refreshed spaces.
One of the first areas of focus was the outdoor event space, where a long, plain concrete wall needed a fresh look to match the club’s vision for a more inviting atmosphere. The remodel also extended indoors, where the restaurant’s lobby ceiling presented another opportunity to transform a bland surface into a feature that would set the tone for the entire dining experience.
The Huntington Club’s outdoor event space featured a long stretch of bare concrete wall. While functional, it lacked personality and warmth—creating a backdrop that felt stark and uninviting. For a space designed to host celebrations and gatherings, the atmosphere simply didn’t match the vibrant experiences the venue wanted to deliver.
With the installation of our Lavish Leaf Single-Sided Paneling, the once plain concrete wall was completely transformed. The lush greenery instantly softened the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that enhances every event. What was once a cold, blank surface is now a lively backdrop that elevates the overall ambiance of the club’s outdoor gatherings.
As part of their restaurant remodel, the Huntington Club’s lobby ceiling was clean but ordinary—white, flat, and offering no sense of character or warmth. For a space that serves as the first impression for members and guests, the ceiling lacked the visual impact needed to set the tone for a memorable dining experience.
By installing our Taste of the Tropics artificial greenery, the plain ceiling was reimagined into a lush, vibrant feature. The overhead greenery creates an instant sense of warmth and sophistication, giving members and guests a striking first impression the moment they enter. What was once a bland surface is now a stunning focal point that elevates the entire restaurant experience.
"Working with Unreal Designs completely transformed our spaces. The outdoor hedge wall and the tropical ceiling in the restaurant lobby not only elevated the aesthetic, but also created a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere that our members love. Their attention to detail and creativity made all the difference."
