Tahiti Marina Apartments The wetlands or, as it was referred to, mud flats are where the five acres of land known as “Marina del Rey" reside. The three story 149 unit apartment building over an open air parking garage were built on a land leased from the county of Los Angeles. The architecture of the building is inspired by site's most important elements: boating and the water. A curving horizontal laminated blue color glass surface wrapped around the entire building creating balcony enclosures, changing the dynamic of the static building into a more fluid and organic vessel.
