Located on the Santa Monica Pier, The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company was completed in 2004. The 8,955 square foot restaurant and retail shop includes two levels of outdoor dining located at the beach level and pier deck level. The building is situated on a pier that is a designated historic landmark and its 38-foot building height and elevator tower comply with the Secretary of Interior’s guidelines for rehabilitating historic properties. The Secretary of the Interior’s also required the building architecture to differentiate from other existing structures on the pier, yet remain compatible with the historic materials, size, scale, proportions, massing, context, design, color, and texture of the pier and its environment. Materials and colors that are consistent with the Pier Design Guidelines include wood horizontal lap siding, wood-framed windows with clear tempered glass, French doors that connect the interior to the activity of the beach and Pier, and canvas and corrugated metal awnings. The building adds to the dynamic and readily identifiable silhouette of the pier as seen from the north or south vantage points along the Pacific Coast. The restaurant has contributed to the pedestrian and economic vitality on the pier and has become one of the most successful restaurants in the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company international chain.
