Neptune Marina
Marina del Rey, CA, United States
The project is situated in Marina Del Rey, an upscale Westside neighborhood famed for its picturesque harbor views and home to the world’s largest man-made small craft harbor. This location comes with its own unique challenges and opportunities.
Keeping the waterfront accessible to everyone to the greatest extent possible is of paramount importance.
Achieving this without compromising privacy and programmatic functions require thoughtful planning and analysis. For instance- elevated private courtyards provide essential private spaces for the residents while common public spaces such as lobbies, mail rooms and boater’s facilities are consciously placed along the public edges to ensure activated street and pedestrian promenade. Ultimately the design strives to create a harmonious balance between the interest of the community as a whole and the livability of the residential units.
The project provides a unique opportunity to express a design influenced by the era during which Marina Del Rey was born; offering a nod to the past with a seaside twist to convey luxury and sophistication. A deliberate effort was made to synthesize vernacular tradition with a modern language to create an architecture firmly rooted in its own place and time.
The aesthetic details of the buildings reflect the same timeless quality and clean simplicity as the mid-century style is known for. This look is evident with the expression of the post and beam, open floor plans and large full height windows that bring the outdoors in. The architecture presents a disciplined use of material that integrates texture, stone accents, and natural color palette with the addition of a modest yet playful splash of color. Symbolic forms and icons are borrowed from the past, and re-arranged in striking new compositions.
The goal is not to produce stylistic replicas of a time past, but rather to fuse contemporary expressions with the physical experiences of the site’s history.
