PATIO MARKETPLACE AT INTERSECT
by PGAL
location: irvine, california
Dubbed “Irvine’s Outdoor Playground”, The Patio Marketplace at Intersect is one of Orange County’s premiere event destinations. The Patio Marketplace is truly a unique setting for dining and gathering. Nestled in the middle of a seven-building, 16-acre business campus, the project features an expansive outdoor courtyard, anchored by re-purposed shipping containers that house a craft beer and wine bar, coffee cart, and viewing deck. The outdoor space also includes an open-air lounge with flexible seating, pool tables, televisions, a gaming lawn, and grass volleyball court.
The outdoor entertainment space is supported by a 4,531-square-foot full-service restaurant and bar with a “grab-and-go” option for employees of the campus and the public alike. The existing building’s previous use was exclusively office program, so the site conditions created several challenges in terms of infrastructure upgrades. One example was the need to accommodate the ventilation duct shaft with the roof utilities upgrades required for floor penetrations through the post-tension slab.
