Redwood timbers accentuate the home’s ranch-style influences and provide crucial support for a lush canopy of tree-like trumpet vines. Left to its own devices, redwood ages gracefully, acquiring a rich texture and variegated patina that ensures a lifetime of beauty.

When it was purchased by its current homeowners in 2013, this ranch-style house, nestled into the Hollywood Hills, needed a lot of work. The homeowners spent several years updating the interiors, and in 2017, turned to one final project: replacing the pergola that covered the exterior courtyard. The structure not only supported the home’s Spanish style, but quite literally supported a pair of 60-year-old trumpet vines that grew as a lush canopy over the space. Determined to keep the courtyard—and its striking, verdant baldachin—a focal point of the home, the homeowners set about updating the structure with a more resilient, natural material: redwood.
