Abstract/Summary

The Shell Beach neighborhood of Pismo Beach serves a quiet, active community in need of an enjoyable, outdoor community gathering space. While the current main street, Shell Beach Road, has undergone major streetscape improvements, there are still vacant parcels in need of refurbishments. A vacant lot on the corner of Shell Beach Road and Cuyama Avenue that previously served the community as a drive-thru restaurant, now provides a desirable site for business. At the location of 1901 Shell Beach Road, a community beer garden built out of shipping containers will provide an ideal space for the Shell Beach community to enjoy while ensuring a sustainable, open environment. The intended building material of a shipping container provides the ability for quick installation, cleaner, more efficient building material, and an overall sleek and impeccable design. The addition of this community beer garden to a friendly and walkable street will create positive experiential features for members of the community and visitors alike.
