  How to Let Nature Be the Feature with Molly Sedlacek

  Aug 6, 202658 minS2

  Molly Sedlacek is the founder of ORCA, a female-founded landscape design and product studio based in Los Angeles. In this episode, she shares how her upbringing with a landscape-designer mother and forester father shaped her belief that materials are living participants, emphasizing simplicity, permeability, and designing for visible time and patina rather than permanence. We address fire-smart landscape design, including Class A fire-rated black locust lumber and the importance of keeping trees, plus advocacy through client questionnaires that tap sensory memories.
