Golf Architecture Transcends Landscapes While Mist Systems Transform

December 13, 2024 By Michelle Roe

In an article written by Eric Baldwin in ArchDaily 2020 “The architecture of golf is directly tied to the landscape. As one of the few sports with no standardized playing area, its clubhouses and structures are usually unique to each course. Prioritizing views and access, golf architecture tends to be exclusive, especially when many courses are not open to the public. Clubhouses make room for players and spectators to while they overlook the course from multiple angles.” Mist systems can transform these gathering spaces into places to socialize or seek relief from the heat after a long round. Designing a clubhouse where golfers want to hang out under refreshing misters and grab a bite or beverage can be vital to a facility’s incremental revenue source.

Investing In Cool Technology

The goal of a course owner or designer is to cater to every need of the golfer and to create a memorable experience. A great way to do this is by providing more services, increasing revenue. While landscape architects focus on the literal lay of the land, those chartered with designing and building the golf club structures have caught on to the benefits of utilizing mist systems to create comfort in dining areas, employee work areas, and frequently visited outdoor spaces such as driving ranges and putting greens. Acting as an outdoor air conditioner, club members and staff have a cool zone to relax and chill while making the overall club experience a destination for all-around play.

New Golf Clubhouse Refresh Extends to Outdoor Landscape Aesthetic

Desert Horizons is a private golf and country club community in Indian Wells, California.
Built on land that was originally a date orchard, the club’s spectacular 18-hole championship golf course and 40,000-square-foot clubhouse provide enjoyment to 510 families who have come to call Desert Horizons home. Spectacular mountain views, shimmering lakes, and lush landscape provide a vibrant backdrop for championship golf, world-class dining, tennis, pickleball, bocce, yoga, social clubs, and the celebration of the area’s desert lifestyle.

Desert Horizons Country Club in Indian Wells recently completed a significant renovation to their clubhouse structure as well as their courts complex, entrance gatehouse, and landscape. The result is a clubhouse with a desert modern vibe and a variety of amenities, including:

• Fitness center: An 8,000 sq ft space with cardio and weight training equipment, group classes, and wellness services
• Dining areas: Enhanced dining areas with scenic views
• Outdoor patio: A chic outdoor patio with a fire pit and mist systems
• Locker rooms: Spa-like locker rooms
• Golf pro shop: A modernized golf pro shop
• Courts Pavilion: A new pavilion with 11 pickleball courts, 2 tennis courts, a viewing deck, bathrooms, and a bar serving beverages and grab-and-go food items.
• Community entry: A refreshed community entry and gatehouse off Highway 111
• Community signage: New community signage
• Landscaping: Landscaping improvements including a new water feature.

Mist Systems Add to Desert Destinations

Desert Horizons Golf Club is an excellent example of an organization that has artfully worked with its landscape and structural architects to blend their guest experience throughout their property seamlessly. As a desert destination for elevated living, recreation, and socialization, Desert Horizon’s Clubhouse invites its members to gather beyond the course to come together with a community spirit. The installation of Koolfog mist systems makes this destination a welcome respite from the desert heat and ensures a cool environment to enjoy the scene.

Misters Add to Luchador Brewery Company’s Mystique

September 19, 2024 By Michelle Roe

In legendary lucha libra culture, a larger-than-life masked persona emerges from a cloud of mist to wow crowds with high-flying wrestling techniques. Lucha libre, Mexico’s vibrant and theatrical wrestling culture, is a beloved national pastime steeped in tradition and colorful spectacle with a mix of athleticism and folklore. Rooted in the 1930s, it features high-flying acrobatics, masked heroes (técnicos), and villainous rudos who engage in dramatic storytelling through combat. Luchador Brewing Company pays inspired tribute to the nostalgia of Luchador wrestling with its popular Coachella Valley location …complete with misters! This may or not be a coincidence, but we are happy to continue spreading these myths.

Luchador Brewing Company’s custom brew system comprises eight five-barrel brew tanks in Chino Hills and four ten-barrel tanks in Cathedral City. They have 15 rotating taps featuring a wide selection of beers & seltzers, all made in-house, and a solid selection of wine by the glass and bottle. Their in-house, interior food truck is named El Camión, a Spanish term that translates to “The Truck” in English. At Luchador Brewing, the name represents their in-house food truck that serves Mexican street food. The food truck located inside the brewery is central to the brewery’s unique dining experience, offering a menu inspired by traditional Mexican flavors. The concept aligns with Luchador Brewing’s overall theme, blending Mexican culture, street food, and craft beer.

“¡Viva la Lucha Libre!” –

This phrase celebrates the excitement and spirit of Mexican wrestling, translating to “Long live Lucha Libre!” Fans often chant it during matches. Luchador Brewing Company serves up the same excitement with its assortment of tasty treats.

Popular brews include:

El Lobo Mexican Wolf Lager – A flagship beer that supports wildlife conservation efforts through donations for every pint sold.
La Máscara – A smooth, flavorful Mexican lager inspired by traditional Tijuana flavors.
El Campeón – An IPA known for its bold hop character and balanced bitterness.

Popular menu items are:

Taco Al Pastor – Marinated pork roasted with pineapple, onion, cilantro, and guacamole, providing a classic flavor combination.
Carne Asada Fries – A hearty dish featuring seasoned beef atop crispy fries, smothered with cheese, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
Luchador Dog – A specialty hot dog with bold flavors, offering a fun twist on the street food experience

Misters, Myths, & #CervezaMasMacho

The restaurant floor plan sports an open, creative, fun feel with plenty of seating inside and an outdoor area that gives a chill atmosphere vibes. Guests can enjoy a bite and a brew at Luchador’s long bar or on their lively outdoor seating area cooled by refreshing misters. Koolfog misters let off a plume of fog that invites lucha libre imagination while keeping visitors comfortable on the wrap-around patio. Super friendly staff provide excellent service to the hungry and thirsty crowds while encouraging folks to gather, socialize with friends, and hang out under the misters. So, grab your friends and head to Luchador Brewing Company, where you can channel your inner Mexican wrestling warrior and give cheer to lucha libre culture. You can even buy merch for the creation of your new alter ego…maybe a larger-than-life dancing and acro-wrestling phenom that has “arrived” in a cloud of mist. Saludos a Luchador!

Outdoor Misters Contribute to the Success of Hospitality Businesses

June 12, 2024 By Michelle Roe

Successful Palm Springs restaurant and hotel group F10 Creative is a powerhouse in the hospitality industry. Helmed by desert native Tara Lazar, F10 Creative is the force behind the popular trifecta Cheeky’s, Birba, and Alcazar Hotel Palm Springs. Cheeky’s is a breakfast/ brunch destination with a can’t-miss bacon flight or bloody mary. Its complimentary restaurant, Birba, is an avant-garde, al fresco, Italian restaurant and cocktail lounge. Both Cheeky’s and Birba are situated on the Alcazar, a boutique hotel property located in the heart of the hip Palm Springs Uptown Design District. All three venues have achieved tremendous success, and all three spots demonstrate their attentiveness to guest comfort with the intuitive application of outdoor misters.

Hospitality 101: The Art of Making Guests Comfortable

An interpretive meaning of Hospitality – Receiving and entertaining guests in a way that makes them feel well taken care of. It leverages ambiance, service, and products or amenities to provide guests with the best experience possible.

Restaurants and hotels prioritize making guests feel comfortable to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience, fostering repeat business and positive reviews. They achieve this through a combination of attentive service, ambient design, and personalized touches. From the moment guests arrive, they are greeted warmly and efficiently greeted. The physical environment is carefully curated with comfortable seating, pleasant lighting, and soothing decor to create a relaxing atmosphere. Amenities such as clean, well-appointed spaces, high-quality linens, or beautifully presented dishes and accommodating dietary options in restaurants cater to guests’ needs and preferences. Staff plays a crucial role by being courteous, responsive, and anticipating guests’ needs, while extra touches, such as installing outdoor misters to refresh visitors in the desert heat, ensure every interaction contributes to a seamless and comforting experience.

Cheeky’s, Birba and Alcazar in Palm Springs

Scene and be Seen- Setting the Tone

F10 Creative has effectively set the tone with the highest standards of excellence in design, operation, service, and attention to detail at Cheeky’s, Birba, and Alcazar. Their innovative world class menus, cool vibes, and modern, upscale ambiance provide a unique scene to celebrate and be seen.

Cheeky’s
Anticipate a wait when visiting Cheeky’s. It’s a well-known hangout for breakfast aficionados who are willing to brave the lines for a seat in this cheery eatery. Outdoor misters can be seen from the streetside, giving attention to hungry guests while giving staff a break from the hot Palm Springs sun.

Birba’s
Those seeking a casually elegant evening will not be disappointed with a sojourn to Birba’s. Delicious fare is served in a lovely garden area filled with lush greenery. White patio lights are weaved amidst basket-covered lights to illuminate the open-air building and it’s large, covered terrace. The dining area is a wonderful spot for a social gathering and can be enveloped in outdoor misters to create a visually stunning space while keeping guests and staff comfortable in the dry desert weather.

Alcazar Hotel Palm Springs
This 34-room boutique hotel is a chic gem in the Coachella Valley. The property has a Mediterranean flare, and guests can find a quiet space to relax, grab a poolside beverage, and chill. Walkways have outdoor misters so that guests are cooled to and from their rooms. Modern and stylish, it caters to sophisticated tastes and warms guests as a retreat within Palm Spring’s stylish enclave.

Outdoor Misters Make a Memorable Guest Experience
The implementation of outdoor misters plays a pivotal role in the success of restaurants and hotels by significantly enhancing the guest experience. By providing a comfortable and refreshing environment, especially during the hot summer months, outdoor misters make spaces affected by hot weather elements more inviting and enjoyable. This not only increases customer satisfaction but also maximizes the use of outdoor spaces, leading to higher patronage and revenue. Additionally, the pleasant ambiance created by outdoor misters can set a restaurant or hotel apart from competitors, fostering a reputation for excellence and comfort. Ultimately, outdoor misters are a valuable investment that can elevate hospitality establishments’ overall appeal and profitability.

Misting System Implementation at The Spa at Sec-he

May 21, 2024 By Michelle Roe

The Spa at Sec-he is located at Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza in downtown Palm Springs. The campus includes a tribal museum and an outdoor Oasis Trail and is considered an important cultural gathering place. The Spa is a celebration of the sacred healing waters of the Agua Caliente Hot Mineral Spring and is a central theme throughout the 73,000-square-foot wellness complex. The Sec-he Spa is a peaceful setting for guests to indulge in cutting-edge therapies and enjoy a host of amenities designed to pamper both men and women, including mineral baths, a eucalyptus steam room, a menthol sauna, aromatherapy showers, halotherapy salt caves, men’s and women’s whirlpools, fitness room, and flotation rooms. The outdoor environment features a resort-style waterfall pool, a zero-edge mineral pool, an outdoor whirlpool, and both indoor and outdoor dining, overhead misting, and waterfall fog effects.

Koolfog Contribution: Misting Systems for Cooling & Water Feature Enhancements
Koolfog designed, crafted, and installed several state-of-the-art custom misting systems for The Spa at Sec-he with attention to the ambiance, comfort, value, and technical innovation. Detail in creating a subtle sensory experience allows guests to see, hear, and feel a subtle mist that highlights evaporate cooling technology that leaves outdoor patrons refreshed without getting wet. The misting systems were placed for optimum utilization in heavy traffic areas and in places where guests would spend the most time relaxing poolside or enjoying the resort feel provided by the presence of several waterfall features.

Koolfog Production Details

4 high-pressure pumps to release water at 1000 PSI creates an evaporative cooling mist that lowers ambient temperatures.
Proprietary fog nozzles that create visual impact around water features.
The misting systems includes placement at VIP Cabanas, over an outdoor Dining area, on a tranquil outdoor patio, and a centerpiece waterfall feature.
Over 100 mist nozzles positioned for optimum cooling and sight view.

While the pumps are in gardens or outdoor areas, they are not in client view and are tucked into utility areas; one of the pumps is located on the rooftop.

Challenge:

Scheduling with multiple construction partners:
Koolfog was part of an integrated construction project, working alongside multiple trades to understand the customer’s goal. Communication and teamwork were very important to convey Koolfog’s solutions and seamlessly incorporate our design in different areas with different materials, including rock work, awnings, and other unique structures.

Hiding our misting systems from view:
To keep Koolfog equipment and components out of the line of sight, we developed a creative routing solution for the misting system distribution lines. In addition, the lines were placed strategically inside the waterfall. Our team was challenged with accessing the area within the water feature and ensuring the misting system remained hidden from view without risking the lines submerging during spillway operation.

Our team worked around many trade schedules while accommodating the need to access areas where we worked. For example, when installing misting nozzles and feed lines to the deck cabanas, our team needed to make sure that our installation still allowed for cabana shade curtains to be installed and ensured that any future open/close curtain movement would not get caught on the misting nozzles.

Success:

Koolfog’s design and application of misting systems is the result of our highly knowledgeable implementation experts. Our team’s understanding of the client requirements and ability to overcome challenges is a key to every project’s success. Selecting the finest quality materials to withstand years of use in varying operating environments (misting lines in chlorinated waterfall/pool water, for example), calculating required flow, placement, and angle of mist to create the desired effect, all work together to create a beautiful and cool atmosphere for spa guests to enjoy.

Restaurants with Misters. Si Bon! So Good!!

May 14, 2024 By Michelle Roe

Restaurants with misters are not a new concept for businesses in the Coachella Valley. Yet, they can make a big difference in getting folks in the door…and keeping them in their seats. The desert is bursting with culinary treasures. In fact, you can literally taste your way across the Coachella Valley. But businesses without misters can suffer in warmer weather, especially during those scorching summer months.

That’s because robust restaurant misters can signal:

The establishment is open by providing a highly visible cue.
Al fresco dining is an option.
The restaurant utilizes all its seating to move guests in and out – an important feature for popular restaurants with usually long wait times.
The restaurant is willing to invest in the details that keep guests comfortable.
A restaurant takes pride in all levels of its operations, indicating: “It’s cool to be cool.” And that’s good.

Si Bon Misters Are So Good
Si Bon is in Rancho Mirage. Even on the hottest days, Si Bon’s invites patrons into its busy eatery to enjoy the best Belgian-French inspired fine food and beverages in the most comfortable setting. At once modern and traditionally romantic, Si Bon is an intimate and unpretentious venue bursting with unique dishes, wine selections, and a relaxed ambiance that encourages visitors to stay, chat, and savor the café culture experience.

From the parking lot, visitors can see its misters cooling the air from between large shade sails that flank the café’s magical outdoor patio. Koolfog designed the misters for Si Bon to optimize the areas that could benefit from high-rise evaporative cooling wrapped around the outside ceiling rims. The awning misters that float a cool breeze over the sunnier part of the patio (and face towards a busy traffic street) provide a “can’t miss” visual impact while creating a cool space to chill. Classic French styled chairs, colorful art, natural material accents, big shade awnings, and a cool space for lingering over conversation and a café au lait represent quintessential French design detail.

Voila!! The Food Is Good Too!!
From crepes to homemade waffles and desserts, Si Bon serves up mouthwatering, delicate, and delicious dishes. It also offers scrumptious craft cocktails, Happy Hour sips, breath-taking Brunch menus, and special cooking demonstrations. In addition to off-site catering, Si Bon’s talented Chef Philippe Caupain hosts amazing cooking demonstrations where dinner with wine is served following an immersive presentation. Guest chefs may make an appearance on such evenings with a prix fix event dinner and wine combination set at $125 per person.

Koolfog Donates Misting System to Planned Community Garden

April 11, 2024 By Evy Hanson

Photo by David Clode

Koolfog recently donated a high-pressure misting system pump intended for a planned community garden in the East Coachella Valley. The plan is to create raised beds for seedlings and plants with a misting system to help keep “crops and gardeners” cool in extreme desert temps. This intended community garden will promote a healthy lifestyle by encouraging outdoor physical activity while educating those with access to the garden about the benefits of harvesting fresh produce.

The Rise of Community Gardens in California
Community gardens have become quite popular in California. California, known for its diverse climate and agricultural heritage, fosters a strong interest in gardening and sustainability initiatives. Community gardens offer numerous benefits to residents, including:

Reducing Food Insecurity: Community gardens provide fresh, locally grown produce, which can help address food insecurity in low-income neighborhoods. By growing their own food, community members have better access to nutritious fruits and vegetables.
Educational Opportunities: Community gardens offer educational programs on gardening techniques, nutrition, and environmental sustainability. They can also provide an opportunity to connect people to food systems by teaching them how food grows.
Environmental Benefits: Community gardens contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing food miles (the distance food travels from farm to plate), minimizing the need for chemical inputs, promoting biodiversity, and mitigating urban heat island effects.
Economic Opportunities: Community gardens can provide economic benefits by reducing household grocery expenses through access to free or low-cost produce. Additionally, surplus produce can be sold at local markets or used in community fundraising efforts.
Improved Mental Health: Gardening has been shown to have therapeutic benefits, such as reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Why A High-Pressure Misting System Pump Will Be an Asset to A Community Garden
A high-pressure misting system pump can be an asset to a community garden by enhancing existing watering methods, helping to regulate temperature, and provide a comfortable environment for people to gather. Proper hydration is crucial for plant health and growth and high-pressure misting systems atomize water into tiny droplets, which are easily absorbed by plants. This can lead to more efficient water usage compared to traditional watering methods. In hot climates, a misting system can help regulate temperatures within the garden by lowering ambient temperatures through evaporative cooling. This can create a more comfortable environment for both plants and gardeners to create a social gathering point that fosters a sense of pride and cooperation.

Supporting the Development of Community Gardens
Community gardens continue to be popular and are often supported by both local governments and grassroots organizations across the state. As the establishment of community gardens contributes to the creation of healthier, more sustainable, and resilient communities, Koolfog is pleased to support the gardens with robust high-pressure misting pumps and evaporative cooling technology that will enhance the environment in the East Coachella Valley and beyond.

The Best Outdoor Misting System Adds Depth to Palm Springs Building Make-Over

March 6, 2024 By Michelle Roe

The Flannery Exchange is a multi-use space located in the heart of Palm Springs Uptown Design District. It is a hub hosting a bevy of modern workspace, retail, and dining options, and it’s become a trendy gathering place for locals and visitors alike. It’s what we like to call a “true bubble” where depending upon your need, everything is available within reach. Want to grab a spot to catch up on email correspondence? Want to grab a quick bite, take in an art gallery or purchase a souvenir on premise? Planning a fun event and need a cool space? Every detail has been selected to appeal to distinctive tastes including the installation of the best outdoor misting system around.

What’s Old Is New
The Flannery Exchange has become a focal point and destination in Palm Springs’s Uptown Design District. This area is known for its amazing style, vintage buildings, retro-inspired boutiques, and consignment hot spots. Taking a cue from this hip environment, visionary Michael Flannery has found success in his work, play, shop, and dine concept designed to cater to “digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and ‘bleisure” travelers that crave an inspired workspace”. After transforming a run-down 1981 Bank of America Building (which doesn’t seem to have a very jazzy vibe), The Flannery Exchange is an up-cycled hub with definite flare.

Using Innovative Tech and Clever Design to Reimagine A Retired Property
This bright, 20,000 square foot “plaza”, offers short and long-term leases for office space, conference rooms, event hosting, retail space and more. Simple and clean lines define the furnishings that dot both the indoor and outdoor environment creating a quintessential Palm Springs feel. Modern and lux materials and décor are showcased with great lighting while providing multiple dynamic settings to get things done. Ease of use, support, and tech access to fast internet naturally blends with a desert lifestyle that appreciates amazing mountain views and fresh air. The models structure, housing amenities under one roof, is a brilliant way to capture the interest of not only a traveling or local business community but an inspired network of like-minded creatives.

Finding The Best Outdoor Misting System on A Rooftop Haven
One of the greatest spots to hang out, meet up, or set up a lap-top and chill is the Flannery Exchange Rooftop. The outdoor deck and patio space has ample room to spread out, take in the views, breathe in the fresh air, and take advantage of the warmth of the desert’s unlimited sunshine. Planned leisure activities, nighttime social events, and even a yoga class practicing on the deck are some of the goings-on that are accommodated. One of the features that makes this space cool and comfortable when hot temps rise is the installation of the best outdoor misting system designed, manufactured, and installed by none other than local Coachella Valley favorite Koolfog, Inc. Koolfog’s reputation for creating custom, cost-effective misting solutions is an easy choice as their team is also very skilled in meeting the challenges in seamlessly developing outdoor spaces. Reinventing and repurposing a vintage structure is a very complex endeavor and requires attention to deal. It makes sense that the best outdoor misting system was chosen to provide the cooling aspects of the Flannery Exchange.
