Rex Lotery's Beverly Hills Estate Blends Modern Architecture and Drought-Resistant Landscaping
A Beverly Hills estate, designed by renowned architect Rex Lottery, showcases a stunning blend of modern architecture and drought-tolerant landscaping. The home's exterior, featuring a unique combination of stone, concrete, glass, and redwood, is beautifully enveloped by drought-resistant plants, including cacti, creating a resort-like aesthetic.
Lottery, who also designed Charlie Puth's estate, incorporated drought-tolerant plants not only for their functional purposes but also to add visual appeal. One striking example is the Euphorbia cactus, a multi-column plant that thrives both indoors and outdoors, providing sculptural beauty to spaces.
Dr. Amy Karpati, senior science advisor at Teatown Lake Reservation, advises homeowners to select native, drought-tolerant plants for their landscapes. In cooler climates, alternatives to cacti and succulents can include butterflyweed, little bluestem, and showy goldenrod. While new plantings require extra watering initially to establish their root systems, these plants eventually require minimal watering, making them ideal for water conservation.
The Lottery-designed estate demonstrates how drought-tolerant plants can serve both practical and aesthetic purposes. By choosing such plants, homeowners can create visually stunning landscapes that are also eco-friendly and low-maintenance.
