Green: Inside and Out

Environmental Concept creates unique outdoor living spaces for high-profile clients in the Los Angeles area and strives to use sustainable practices that create healthier environments.

When designing their offices, we were asked to create a contemporary space that used organic materials, giving a result that was eco-friendly inside and out. Objects such as the reception desk were salvaged and rehabilitated for minimal environmental impact. The polished concrete floors and painted branch mural embody the contemporary organic approach of Environmental Concept.

Floating wall shelves display colorful concept sketches, while Aduze pottery and a driftwood side table welcome guests.

This zesty bathroom scheme was inspired by the colors found in the exterior garden.

Colors From the Garden

Choosing colors for your home can be difficult when there are so many from which to choose.  Sometimes the answer can be as simple as looking for inspiration in your garden.  Nature's color palette provides the perfect balance of neutral tones, vibrant greens, and lively colors.

Elements from your garden can serve as decor.  Not only do they tie your interior and exterior design together, but they bring freshness, life, and color into a room. 

Potted succulents serve as great centerpieces, and are easy to take care of for they need little water to thrive. Pair them with interesting found objects such as rocks and found wood to add organic shapes to a room.
