This week's Los Angeles Times Home and Garden section takes a look at three homes: in the first, a Palm Springs home, mid-century modern gets mixed up to create something fresh and real; a modernist home in Baldwin Hills is gets its design inspiration from Morocco; in Venice, developer Tom Schey proves that living green and living luxuriously can easily go hand in hand.
