The Ritz Carlton Residences replaces a portion of the VEA Newport Beach hotel, formerly the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa, with a 300-foot-tall tower providing over 100 residential units that will overlook Fashion Island, Newport Beach Country Club, Newport Harbor, and the Pacific Ocean. The design draws inspiration from the California Post Modernism architectural style which is embedded in the original vision of Fashion Island as set forth by Master Architect William Pereira. The nautical inspired building shapes helped form the design of the Residences. Authentic yacht inspired detailing is integrated into the architecture through the abundant use of natural materials and the emphasis on indoor / outdoor spaces.
