DESIGNER J. R. DAVIDSON’s Los Angeles house is remarkable for its many outdoor living spaces, even in
California where
terraces are a local landmark. Built to serve both as his house and studio, it stakes off four separate garden rooms in an area little larger than the average suburban lot. The plan rambles twice across the full width of the property and in its course defines an
entrance court, the
living-room terrace, a
patio off the Davidsons’ bedrooms and a garden near their son’s room. For good cooking, Mrs. Davidson has a
salad and herb garden by her kitchen door. Ingenious use of existing trees, plus fences and planting, gives privacy to each
garden room and its indoor counterpart.
