Most people don’t necessarily think of amazing architecture when they think of Los Angeles. It’s more so the stereotypical associations with palm trees and the movies. But there’s a lot of rich cultural heritage here. That, for me, is what makes LA a really special place. I love the indoor-outdoor approach to living, which you see incorporated into some of these beautiful modernist houses that I enjoy visiting, as well as restaurants and museums with their lush gardens. It just feels as though the sun is always shining, and the farmers’ markets are full of persimmons and citrus and dates—that’s the moment when I have the most envy. Growing up, LA felt so distant and aspirational. Exotic, even. To me, it still feels like another planet.
