About Us
Hommes + Gardens Estudio is a Los Angeles–based design firm dedicated to all things living, from sculptural landscapes and hardscapes to interior plant architecture and edible gardens. We create landscapes that move with the form, spaces that breathe and evolve
We work end-to-end: planning, hardscape frameworks, plant architecture, lighting and irrigation design, edible systems, and installation oversight. Every project is context-led and climate-intelligent, shaped by site, microclimate, and the way you live.
The result is quietly confident environments, resilient, water-wise, and easy to live with, where indoor and outdoor read as one. Shade and privacy feel intentional. Seasonal change feels designed. Maintenance feels simple.
Trusted by design-literate clients across Los Angeles for our considered restraint and sense of place. Where design becomes nature, and nature becomes home.
Michael O'Brien
With a background in design and a reverence for the natural world, Michael O'Brien founded Hommes + Gardens Estudio as a space where architecture, craftsmanship, and landscape coexist.
His practice reflects a belief that truly livable design is responsive, to light, texture, and time, creating spaces that feel cultivated yet unforced.
