ZUMA BEACH ENTRANCE
Malibu, CA

The newly refurbished entrance to Zuma County Beach in Malibu is meant to reinterpret or evoke aspects of the beach familiar to the locals since the 1950s. In arraying the car entry gates and dislocated architecture that would appear as though it had survived the onslaught of a tidal wave. The stations are set within a grid of palm trees, surrounded by a variety of indigenous plants. This project was published as Keeper Gate, in Progressive Architecture, under Project News, November 1995. This project was designed by Samuel Kim, while at Gruen Associates.
