For one of Bel Air's earliest residences—a Gordon Kaufmann house with Norman and English Arts and Crafts character—we proposed a Lutyens-inspired terraced garden to transform its steep, unusable hillside. A long reflecting pool and descending fountain sequence anchor the central axis, while a rose garden with a stone dining table, an orchard, and a forested grotto create distinct rooms along the slope. At the far end, a ruin-like wall brings architectural presence into the lower garden and offers passage back up to the pool terrace, where a white garden of gray foliage and pale blossoms was designed to come alive in the evening light.
