Lehner Residence
Los Angeles, CA, United States
The Lehner residential site is nearly level, and located in the
Melrose District of Hollywood, CA. The landscape wraps the West and
North side of the house, and connects to the house interior through the
main living room and the master bedroom. The landscape also connects to a
storage garage on the Northeast side of the lot. The West side of the
garden receives plenty of sunshine.
The primary use of the garden is to work symbiotically with a
professional couple who are expecting children. The garden works as a
place for human activities and ecological health. Human activities are
planned with a garden program that includes a small lawn for toddlers to
play, as well as areas to rest and converse in both shade and full sun.
Sustainability is achieved by incorporating a recycled redwood deck and
fence, stormwater retention, and use of drought tolerant plants.
The design concept is based on applying durable ordinary materials to
the four main zones of the garden. The zones include an outdoor living
room that is an extension of the main living area of the house, an
active play area for children, a sun patio, and an aesthetically
pleasing corridor that leads to and from the storage room.
Elements include a recycled redwood deck that connects the main
living area and receives shade most of the day from palm trees. The deck
has a table with chairs, which provides a shady gathering place for the
garden -- it is elevated 20" and overlooks the lawn area. A custom
fabricated steel planter is recessed into the deck and is flush mounted
with the top of the deck. It is planted with Lavender to add fragrance
to the garden. The lawn is planted with drought tolerant Bermuda grass,
and is connected to the master bedroom by a plinth-like concrete step. A
cast-in-place Portland Cement patio provides space for lounging in full
sun. The concrete from the patio continues as a path on the north side
of the garden and is custom formed to allow rainwater flow away from the
house into a planting bed -- the path leads to the small garage. A 12'
tall Podocarpus hedge lines the corridor and provides privacy from
neighbors to the north. The sun patio is bordered on two sides with a
colorful and textural mixture of drought tolerant plants. Welded wire
mesh is installed on the fence bordering the deck and lawn and is
planted with climbing fig. A 6" layer of crushed rock is installed along
the North corridor for rainwater retention and groundwater recharge.
