Ladera Heights Residence

This project was phase one of an addition remodel to a residential building in Ladera Heights, LA.

The client wanted to be able to entertain in the front yard, and change the aesthetics to something useful and beautiful.

I thought of changing the concept of the front yard by playing with dualities: public space vs. private entry, harsh sounds vs. sound of water, hard concrete texture vs. the soft colors of flowers and the hard edge of fencing vs. the soft sounds of falling water. Most importantly the intention was to make the space beautiful.
