Chandler Estate – Sherman Oaks

The Chandler Estate: A Modern Mediterranean Retreat in Sherman Oaks

Project Location: Chandler Estates, Sherman Oaks, CA

Design Style: Modern Mediterranean & Effortless Luxury

Located within the prestigious Chandler Estates neighborhood of Sherman Oaks, this expansive 27,000-square-foot gated lot was transformed by Courtland Studio, LLC into a private sanctuary. Designed as a escape from the daily rush of Los Angeles, the landscape invites exploration through blend of light, structure, and vibrant greenery.

An Immersive Entry Experience

We utilized a tapestry of light and shadow to highlight the home’s architecture while creating a sense of serenity.

• Lush Softscaping: The property is anchored by mature palms and a curated selection of low-maintenance ornamental grasses.
• Seasonal Color: We integrated classic roses to provide pops of color and fragrance, grounding the modern lines of the estate in traditional elegance.

Master Planning for Effortless Luxury

With over half an acre of land, the challenge was to create “outdoor rooms” that felt both intimate and grand.

• Modern Mediterranean Palette: By combining drought-tolerant Mediterranean plants with lush, traditional accents, we achieved a high-impact aesthetic that thrives in the San Fernando Valley climate.
• Thoughtful Detailing: Every pathway and planting bed was refined to ensure an effortless flow between the home’s interior and the sprawling backyard retreat.
