BALENCIAGA
West Hollywood, CA
The dramatic garden is a lunar landscape, in keeping with the edgy aesthetic of the French fashion house. Raised planters mimic the display cases inside and the sculptural planting stands in sharp relief to the leafy foliage that envelops the building.

BALMAIN
Los Angeles, CA
Inspired by a tranquil private garden found in Paris’s Left Bank, a leafy green courtyard is the outcome of an exciting collaboration with design firm Studio KO. The patterned limestone floor, set amid mounding shrubs, sculptural ferns, tall hedges and statuesque trees, creates an unexpected landscape that is in keeping with the spirit and history of the French couture house, tucked behind their exquisite Melrose Place boutique as something beautiful to be discovered.

A parking lot is transformed into a private courtyard entrance with a combination of hand-laid pebbles embedded in concrete, cut stone and colorful planting.
SAINT LAURENT
Los Angeles, CA
Luxurious, graphic, surprising and otherworldly, this Rodeo Drive landscape aims to capture and honor the spirit of the visionary work of founder and designer Yves St. Laurent. The rich materials and highly reflective surfaces mirror the silhouettes and shadows of the Organ Pipe cactus, set against black gravel and white plaster, for a rooftop garden that is as bold as the high fashion brand it celebrates.
