Santa Monica Private Residence

SSLA transformed this Santa Monica property into a beautiful, drought-tolerant outdoor retreat that seamlessly blends refined materials with relaxed California living. Our design team developed a landscape that balances beauty, functionality, and sustainability, creating a series of inviting spaces for both everyday enjoyment and entertaining.

Beautiful limestone hardscape materials establish a warm, cohesive foundation throughout the garden, while a thoughtfully curated palette of drought-tolerant plantings brings texture, softness, and natural beauty to the space. A beautiful fire lounge creates an intimate gathering area, complemented by a fully appointed outdoor kitchen designed for effortless outdoor dining and entertaining.

Every element was carefully considered to include the Clients’ love of Olive trees, citrus trees and roses, as well as to create a cohesive extension of the home, where materiality, planting, and outdoor living come together to define a timeless Southern California landscape.
