Surf CanyonPrevious Project

Malibu, California, 2023. A coastal container yard gets a new purpose. 


Surf Canyon is an adaptive re-use project in the heart of Malibu. Set on 12-acres where the mountains meet the ocean, we repositioned the container yard into a walkable, mixed-use enclave. Featuring communal dining areas, art studios and shopfronts showcasing local businesses, Surf Canyon, has become a thriving, creative community focused on sustainability.
