The 1,485 SF lifeguard station includes an observation tower with a 270-degree view, a modern first aid room, male/female locker rooms, administration areas, a state-of the art staff ready room and a new 650 SF rescue vehicle facility. The design team selected translucent materials on perpendicular planes, which minimize building mass and maximize light penetration so that the new station respects, frames and enhances ocean views as it provides strategic points to observe and guard the public.
