BEVERLY HILLS, CA - 2016
The gardens of this mid-century estate, located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, were given a modern update to better suit the Clients needs and pay homage to the period architecture. In an effort to create a private usable front yard, custom stonewalls and gates were designed to extend the architectural finishes to the street.
The A- symmetrical layout leads the pedestrian to the front entry courtyard where custom benches, bonsai pine, tree ferns and a koi pond create space for gathering. Large existing tree specimens of California Sycamore and Italian Stone Pine were preserved as sculptural accents. Throughout the 3⁄4 acre site, pathways were added and garden areas enhanced to create a cohesive landscape master plan.

SANTA MONICA RESIDENCE
For the Santa Monica Residence, we created, in essence, a series of landscape abstractions that emphasize the sites Southern California location and it’s many microclimates. As you enter the property, the pedestrian walks through a desert landscape showcasing a living sculpture garden of cactus and succulents that extends into the residence foyer. As you transition to the backyard, a grassy meadow with boulders and meandering pathways lead you to the swimming pool terminus. Special care was taken to balance the rectilinear geometry of the residence with organic plant and stone formations to create inviting modern garden spaces. .
