Kenyan designer Naeem Biviji, cofounder of Studio Propolis with his wife, Bethan Rayner, added a 250-square-foot extension to their Nairobi home. The new living room has sliding doors made of recycled wood that open onto a trellis-topped terrace filled with plants grown from clippings harvested from Naeem’s mother’s garden.
The couple took advantage of numerous municipal programs when landscaping the backyard. Mandy recently completed a free course through LADWP, who also promotes resources for the SoCal Turf Replacement Program, to become a certified California Native Plant Landscape: “There is an amazing amount of knowledge and resources for transitioning yards with more native/drought-tolerant plants through LADWP and the Theodore Payne Foundation,” says Mandy.
