The Channel Islands harbor in Ventura County north of Los Angeles is going through a complete renaissance.

It is desired by the political community that the harbor be redeveloped into more of a sophisticated destination for seafarers and that it become a vibrant mixed-use event for Ventura County.

Because it is located in Southern California, it seems this is a realistic goal.

The harbor is divided into finger inlets that a given water portals and are treated as large rooms for the yacht clubs.

Retail, residential housing units, plazas and a hotel are arranged around these “rooms” to take advantage of the views and vistas, creating a very exciting sense of place, that of Southern California Marina.
