The historic Wrigley Mansion is the perfect example of how both functionality and design were incorporated into an architecturally historic project. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Designed by William Wrigley and completed in 1931, the Wrigley Mansion is a true landmark of the Phoenix area. Sitting at the top of a hill, The Mansion commands the most dramatic views in Phoenix, showcasing the mountains and the city below. Its architecture includes curated elements of Spanish, California Monterey, and Mediterranean styles. Owner Jamie Hormel and his restaurateur partner of over 15 years, Christopher Gross, wanted to reimagine a new Christopher\u2019s restaurant at the Wrigley Mansion. The pair brought on Wendell Burnette of "],[0,[0],1,"Wendell Burnette Architects"],[0,[],0," to bring that vision to life. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Owner of his own architectural firm in the Arizona valley for over 26 years, Wendell knew that in order to adjust to the post-pandemic market demands, they needed a patio \u2014 and in order to have a patio, they needed to have heat. \u201cWe had to find the right heater, or we couldn\u2019t do the patio, that\u2019s what it came down to,\u201d Wendall recalled. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"Because of the historic nature of the Wrigley and its breathtaking view of the Phoenix skyline, finding a heating solution that didn\u2019t take away from the design and atmosphere of the space was crucial. Working alongside "],[0,[1],1,"Bromic\u2019s"],[0,[],0," heating experts, Burnette selected the "],[0,[2],1,"Eclipse Smart-Heat Portable"],[0,[],0,", an electrical portable outdoor heater with a sleek, modern design that includes a dimmable LED light providing radiant outdoor heating. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"One of the most common questions that even some engineers are unsure of is the advantage of using radiant heating in their outdoor spaces. Simply put, radiant heaters heat objects like humans, furniture, and plants, not the air surrounding them. Since radiant heaters are heating objects, not air, they are able to effectively heat outdoor spaces, unlike convection heaters, which have little to no impact on an outdoor area. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"This type of focused heating means less heat lost, therefore more energy savings. More comfortable temperature levels can be achieved with a lower thermostat setting rather than with a forced-air system, and having the ability to control outdoor heaters on different heat settings creates the ideal temperature output no matter the time of year."]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"The results and response of adding design-focused heaters to the Wrigley Mansion have been tremendous. \u201cEverybody that comes here, they comment about these heaters. They\u2019ve never seen a heater that is this elegant and also incorporates a light fixture.\u201d With a bevy of satisfied customers enjoying comfortable temperatures, ambient lighting, striking views and gourmet cuisine, all partners in this project found themselves with a smashing success.
