An ornate, scrolled wrought iron gate marks the entrance to this Los Angeles residence and garden. The gravel drive is lined with mature trees, creating a graceful canopy from which lanterns are hung to light the way for visitors. Wisteria vines charmingly make their way across the home’s facade. In the backyard, various seating areas dot the home’s long, linear back porch, before one steps down onto a lawn panel for entertaining and children's play.

The motor court is designed as both a vehicular forecourt to the home as much as a multi-purpose paved surface for kids' bikes, tricycles, skateboards and basketball.
