West Hollywood

This landscape is for a renovation by Killefer Flammang Architects of an existing apartment building to provide affordable housing for 47 families.  Water use is carefully managed with weather-sensitive irrigation control and the use of plantings that require no irrigation which qualified the project for Green Communities certification.  A generous front porch and vegetable beds for the residents are among the high-quality amenities.  The two slender interior courtyards are designed to be easy for people with mobility problems to use and feature contrasting plantings to assist residents living with dementia to orient themselves.
