Architectural & design happenings in/around CdM (local context)
CdM Commercial Corridor Study – Newport Beach is developing tailored goals, land-use policies, and design/development standards specific to the Corona del Mar commercial corridor—good signal to plan premium, streetscape-friendly work.
Goldenrod Footbridge heritage – The 1928 Goldenrod Avenue pedestrian bridge—an icon of “Old CdM”—earned historic recognition; projects nearby often nod to its character in material and detailing.
Civic design benchmark – The Newport Beach Civic Center & Park by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson set a local bar for coastal-modern civic architecture and landscape integration, a useful reference for biophilic intent.
Crystal Cove Historic District restoration – Ongoing multi-phase restoration is returning 1930s–40s cottages for public use; the emphasis on preservation + contemporary infrastructure resonates with CdM’s blend of legacy and modern craft.
Cultural anchor – Sherman Library & Gardens remains a local design/plant-culture hub—handy for tying planting selections to place-based stories.
