DUNDEE
Meadow With A City View
For a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival manse on a hilltop near Griffith Park, we replaced a hard terrace with a flowering meadow of native sedges and Blue Grama grass and a seasonally-shifting palette of wildflowers. At the center is a sitting area with couches around a fire feature clad with custom hand-made zellij tiles from Morocco. Four olive trees previously in pots are now rooted in the ground and will grow to connect a shady canopy. More Moroccan tile in bespoke color patterns clads a wall fountain and a staircase. (Flawless execution by my collaborators Patrick Vaillancourt and Sidonie Loiseleux at Otherwind Builders.)
