Peekaboo Greenery in Pervious Concrete

At the corner of Magnolia and Colfax in Studio City, there is a beautiful contemporary mixed use building that features pervious concrete inset with plants. The designers integrated the usable pervious hardscape with plants for an immersive green experience to delightful effect. This is 5” of pervious concrete in natural grey with 3/8” aggregate. The planter pockets were formed out before the pour, and planted after the cure plastic came up. You can see the integrated planter provides a welcoming space and breaks up the pavement expanse.
