Read about this Beverly Hills house and garden, belonging to the French-American Perrin family, in "Perfect Union."

 

The house was designed by architect Victor Gruen, the interiors were decorated by Chahan Minassian, and the gardens were designed by the landscape designer Judy Kameon, resulting in a beautifully unified vision of indoors and outdoors.

 

Our slide show features photographs of the house and gardens, along with close-ups of the plants used to create the silvery-green palette used throughout the garden.
