Waves

Waves Apartments & Docks are situated on the western, predominately residential side of Marina del Rey which contains approximately 5 acres of land area and 6.1 acres of water area. The existing Tahiti Marina Apartments, originally constructed in 1967, consist of 149 apartment units within one three-story apartment building.  Complete design and renovation the 149 apartments, public areas and the facades with a new innovative and exciting design to transform the aging structure into a contemporary building with high-quality improvements appropriate for the Marina del Rey of today and years to come.

A curving horizontal laminated clear, white and blue color glass surface wraps around the entire building creating new balcony enclosures while changing the dynamic of the static building into a more fluid and organic vessel. The new elements of the facade create a variety of textures and forms, which make the building, seem lighter.
