As the first project in the United States from world-renowned MAD Architects, Gardenhouse reimagines the modern lifestyle of Beverly Hills with a return to simplicity. It reflects on a time when nature was woven into every aspect of life to provide a modern-day village where residents live harmoniously with nature and architecture.

Reminiscent of the lush hillside that provides the iconic backdrop of Beverly Hills, the sculptural facade of Gardenhouse is the canvas for the largest living wall in the country. Comprised of native plants and succulents that transform with the seasons, creating a living, ever-evolving art piece, the living wall is intelligently designed to block out the sounds of the city while both drawing in and filtering the warm California sunlight.

At the center of Gardenhouse is a reflecting pool, a homage to the natural springs in Beverly Hills that first brought the community together, that mirrors the sky and materiality overhead. The residences, meticulously sited to ensure privacy, encircle a central, open-air atrium where a lush canopy of trees and a secret garden offer an unparalleled sense of seclusion.

Sustainability is a pressing issue, particularly in Southern California. The living green wall and aluminum composite cladding which form the building’s facade help to reduce the building’s energy consumption. The living wall is composed of drought-tolerant plants, including succulents native to this region. Both the green wall and the aluminum cladding help to cool down and regulate the interior temperature of the building.

Each residence at Gardenhouse is as a unique custom home featuring airy, contemporary spaces and barrierless transitions between indoors and out. Residences showcase expansive, open-concept floor plans with towering walls of glass and private outdoor living spaces. Residences offer the space and privacy of a signature custom home and are designed to incorporate nature into the living experience.
