Ozeta House

Mediterranean Milieu

This celebrated garden was the main feature in Garden Design magazine (March/April 2002 issue), with a 10-page layout covering the dramatic landscape transformation of this 1921 Moorish-style concrete house in West Hollywood, California.

Among the most salient design elements are the natural gas fire pit with Moroccan tiled seating area, purple-black garden surrounding an antique Chinese bed, and an herbal tea garden.

This garden is periodically open to the public through The Garden Conservancy’s Open Days Program. Please check their online schedule for upcoming Los Angeles County events.

To learn more about this project, please visit the Image Gallery and Before-&-After pages, or read the Garden Design magazine article (PDF).

(NOTE: All work was performed by licensed landscape contractors.)

Garden plan

The view from the cool, shaded patio and tea garden reaches across a calm rectangular pool to a whimsical fountain area at the other end of the property. But the view wasn’t always so charming.
