Modern Miracle: Industrial Materials Meet Desert Views in LA

Overlooking the San Gabriel Mountains, this Los Angeles property transforms a narrow backyard once dominated by a two-car garage and concrete expanse. Designer Mia Lehrer, inspired by the owner's modernist furniture collection, paired industrial materials with colors reflecting the region's blue skies and dramatic sunsets.

A mottled blue wall visually connects the 40-foot angled pool to the sky. Surrounding the pool is a lawn of fine-bladed fescue that requires no mowing. The design maximizes the site's best features while echoing the homeowner's aesthetic sensibility.
