  • Peter Walker's Gift

    Peter Walker, FASLA, inaugurated USC’s annual School of Architecture lecture series with a presentation of “Reflecting Absence", the National 9/11 Memorial in downtown Manhattan. Pete’s talk, “Before the Memorial”, summarized his journey as an artist, beginning with studying and collecting work by minimalist artists such as Carl Andre. The Nasher Sculpture Center in downtown Dallas exemplifies Pete's skill in using flatness to great effect. For anyone who hasn’t seen the Nasher, put your Texas bias aside and book your ticket! (And, while you're in Texas, get down to Houston and see the Menil!) #911memorial, #andrelenotre, #carlandre, #landscapearchitecture, #nashersculpturegarden, #newyorklandscapearchitecture, #peterwalker, #vauxlevicomte

  • In Recognition of an Inspired Collaboration: LGLA in Luxe Magazine

    Tropic Fusion The Spring 2013 issue of LUXE (Orange County edition) features a Huntington Beach home showcasing the inspired collaboration between a client and a design team - landscape architect Lisa Gimmy, architect Jeffrey Dahl, interior designers John Wooden and Dustin Dorr, lighting designer Rosemarie Allaire, and sculptor Yoshikawa. The homeowners wanted to respect the neighborhood context and requested a modern take on a Craftsman bungalow, but they also wanted to evoke the relaxed sensibility of the Hawaiian resorts they enjoy on vacation. The seamless transition from the refined, elegant interiors to the tropical courtyard demonstrates the design team's ability to work together to create a unified design statement that delightfully fuses the client's aspirations. #craftsman, #jeffreydahl, #johnwooden, #dustindorr, #rosemarieallaire, #yoshikawa

  • A Garden Restoration in Los Angeles

    RESTORING, REFRESHING, REVEALING We recently had the pleasure of restoring a beautiful garden originally designed by Cleo Baldon in the 1980s.  For those of you who don’t know Cleo, she is a multi-faceted designer and co-owner of Galper Baldon, a landscape design firm that created landscapes throughout Southern California.  Cleo recently organized a tour of three of her gardens in Brentwood, and our assignment was to ready one of the gardens for the tour in early June. The author of “Stairs and Steps” and “Reflections on the Pool”, Cleo’s work spans a range of design vocabularies.  Common to all her projects are a gracious sense of scale and a clear concept of procession. Cleo’s design was restored and refreshed with strategic additions and subtractions that clarified the structure and heightened the drama of the garden. We selectively removed trees and shrubs that muddied the clarity of the original design and blocked views of the mature Silk Floss grove surrounding the house. In the pool area, we added giant bromeliads and textural philodendrons to anchor the pool.  Richly textured planters and pots were also added to enhance the resort like character of the pool and adjacent terrace. Linda White's selection of the brilliant green upholstered furniture echos the new planting surrounding the seating area. We were ready for the tour.  Linda White and Jayne Mair set the table for the guests. Welcome to Cleo’s restored landscape!
