Holmby Hills Design Laboratory

The project Tichenor and Thorp call home is a restored and remodeled Harwell Hamilton Harris-designed home, originally built in 1940, in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. The duo took advantage of the home’s original cruciform plan to create four new, distinct outdoor gardens around the main house: A new terraced entry garden, a kitchen garden with native grasses and a bocce court; a Japanese garden complete with lily pond, and re-envisioned living and dining courtyard with an outdoor fireplace. Every room opens to one of these gardens. with a careful design, a sense of arrival and discovery is cultivated as one enters the property and moves through each of these distinct gardens. The surprises are revealed in stages, culminating in the pool house and studio building which opens completely onto the private pool garden and its cabana.
