About
DDB worked closely with the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa to complete a full seismic retrofit of the historic retail building just steps away from their 144-year-old iconic AAA Four Diamond award-winning hotel in Riverside, California. Working in the fully occupied space required DDB to balance traditional construction methods with innovative approaches in order to minimize disruption while improving structural performance and maintaining the integrity of the celebrated historic structure. The result is a stronger, more resilient building that preserves the character of the existing Mission-style architecture.
