Designer Velvet Hammerschmidt's rooftop loft garden
Interior designer Velvet Hammerschmidt and her husband, software executive Mark Friedman, loved their new loft digs in Santa Monica but wanted a garden space – a place to dine alfresco, to watch the seaside sunsets, to sit by a fire and gaze at the starry night. They transformed a pitched roof marred with air conditioning ducts into a beautiful rooftop garden with outdoor kitchen, lounge area and play space for two daughters.
