Following an international design competition, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects was selected to lead the design of the Miramar Santa Monica. Father and son partners Cesar and Rafael Pelli worked with their team to create a design that is breathtaking in its originality and respects the core values and goals of Santa Monica.
The design team, including GGN (landscape design) and Chattel Inc. (preservation consultant), has taken into account the guidelines and standards in the LUCE and the DCP, as well as the feedback from the community. They have focused on “placemaking,” sustainability and creating a world-class project that celebrates the key historic elements on the site while creating stunning contemporary architecture and magnificent new open spaces.
