2014 Santa Monica Conservancy Tour

The early 20th century workman’s cottage stands in front of a darling guest home and stand alone garage. Guided tours of the home will give you an intimate view of its history, evolution and environmentally sensitive expansion.  Learn how the owners collaborated with restoration architect Michele McDonough to balance respect for the original architecture with contemporary livability.

The vibrant garden designed, built and maintained by FormLA Landscaping unifies the property’s structures with permeable paths that meander past edible gardens, a pond with fountain, and lawns of yarrow and a buffalo-fescue Ideal Mow lawn alternative blend.

The owners, architect, and FormLA Landscaping experts will be present to answer questions.
