This stylish Brentwood home had recently been renovated while preserving the integrity of its original mid-century design, and architecture. With furniture and furnishings true to the stylish time period, this was a perfect yard to imitate the aesthetics of the infamous Brazilian Landscape Architect, Burle Marx. This family needed a fun, yet functional space to host friends and family; but wanted to preserve the timeless aesthetics of the stylish Mid-Century flare. Burle Marx is famous for his organic nature within modernist landscape architecture. We pulled inspiration from Marx, as one of the first people to call for the conservation of Brazil’s rainforests, to introduce a palette of native and beneficial plant materials to mimic his environmental efforts. We also pulled from his artistic expressions with our curved and dramatic garden bed lines, and placement of specimen plantings. All in all, we created a truly timeless landscape design, that’s style will easily convey generation to generation.

A 3,980 sqft Modern Retreat Merging Nature and Architecture
Completed in 2025 in the tranquil hills of Bel Air, this 3,980 sqft residence redefines outdoor living through a seamless blend of modern architecture and natural beauty. Designed by Henne Creative, the project captures the essence of minimalist luxury, where clean lines meet atmospheric elegance.
The infinity pool extends toward a lush backdrop, reflecting the dramatic hues of the California sunset. At dusk, the soft architectural lighting highlights the structure’s geometry, creating a calm yet striking silhouette. The pink flamingo float playfully anchors the space, adding a sense of warmth and personality to the design.
Floor to ceiling glass panels erase the boundary between indoors and out, while the concrete patio equipped with sleek loungers and side tables offers a refined and relaxed ambiance for everyday retreat or intimate gatherings.
Bel Air Serenity isn’t just a home it’s an experience. A sanctuary that celebrates light, openness, and the quiet luxury of nature-infused design.
