There’s a lot to admire about this contemporary landscape in northeast Los Angeles, from its custom sunken hot tub to the solid block of Mexican onyx that serves as a sometimes bench for the family’s beloved goldendoodle. But there’s a lot more to this recently renovated space than a series of stylish outdoor living spaces. “Perhaps the most special thing about this project is that the homeowners are hearing more birds, seeing more butterflies [and] smelling fragrances that they’ve only experienced while hiking in our local hills,” landscape architect Joshua Link says. “Because nearly every plant on the property is native to Southern California, they share an evolutionary history with local wildlife. It is like reintroducing old friends.”
