“RH Newport Beach is one of our most dramatic, immersive and brand-defining physical locations to date,” said RH Chairman & CEO Gary Friedman. “The Gallery reflects our quest to continue revolutionizing physical retailing, blurring the lines between residential and retail, indoors and outdoors, home and hospitality, and we are proud to introduce this inspiring destination in the Southern California market.

“We continue to open the most innovative and immersive physical experiences in our industry, and some would say the world. The impressive and innovative spirit of RH Newport Beach is evident in every detail, and we are honored to bring our largest and most dramatic retail and hospitality destinations to Southern California.”

Conceptualized as a transparent, multi-level contemporary structure filled with fresh air and natural light, the Gallery features a parchment-cream Venetian plaster exterior with an expanse of glass-and-steel French doors that open onto garden courtyards marked by a serene walking path with decomposed granite and bluestone pavers, surrounded by magnificent 100-year-old heritage olive trees.

Ascending a grand, architecturally inspiring double floating staircase to the rooftop, guests arrive at the one-of-a-kind RH Ocean Grill. Set within a year-round, skylit garden escape, guests can enjoy fresh seafood dishes and enduring classics from the restaurant’s live-fire hearth, all beneath a dramatic atrium with sparkling chandeliers, heritage olive trees and a cascading central fountain. Seamlessly extending from indoors to out, the restaurant also features al fresco seating, where guests can dine surrounded by lush gardens inspired by the great classical landscapes of Europe.

Flanking the grand stair on level four, two adjacent Wine Bars serve exceptional Champagnes and wines from around the world, along with familiar favorites from Napa Valley, for visitors to enjoy while exploring the rest of the gallery or rooftop park.

Level three unveils RH’s first fully integrated Waterworks Showroom, featuring 3,000 square feet showcasing a curated assortment of bath and kitchen fittings, fixtures, accessories, lighting and surfaces. Visitors will also find an interactive 8,500-square-foot RH Interior Design Atelier, offering an unparalleled level of professional design services.

On the lower levels, guests will discover artistic lifestyle installations of RH Collections by internationally acclaimed designers, along with exterior terraces and courtyards showcasing the largest assortment of RH Outdoor collections in North America. Barrel-vaulted passageways along the periphery lead to a classical arrangement of rooms that seamlessly integrate the brand’s furnishings, lighting and décor with one-of-a-kind antiques and artifacts from Friedman’s world travels.

RH Newport Beach also features RH Baby & Child and RH TEEN, presenting collections that seamlessly blend with the rest of the home, as well as petite versions of the brand’s iconic sofas, sectionals and chairs, displayed in an intimate progression of rooms.
