Inspired by the architecture of the Alhambra, a 13th century citadel near Granada, Spain, Irvine Spectrum Center is a prominent destination shopping center in Irvine, California. Drawing on this classical paradigm, Burton Studio created a unique retail district where Orange County residents and visitors can shop, dine, seek entertainment, stroll the numerous paseos, or relax in the beautiful courtyard spaces. Since the center’s opening in 1995, Burton Studio has continued to provide planning and landscape architecture as the project has grown to roughly 120 stores, restaurants and entertainment venues.
