L.A.’s singular combination of natural beauty, independent spirit and zest for reinvention, has long been an inspiration for many artists. In the light of last month’s devastating wildfires in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, Henrybuilt—the luxury design and manufacturing company who is best known for its meticulously crafted, integrated kitchen systems—is opening their downtown showroom tonight to see an exhibition that features the work of some of the most renowned architecture and design photographers. Entitled, A Love Letter to L.A., the photography group show is also a wildfire relief fundraiser.

The exhibition brings together personal and unique perspectives from these photographers, offering a view of L.A.’s beauty and resilience through their work. From a portrait of Tadao Ando’s Malibu beach house to the iconic Sheats-Goldstein Residence and an intimate glimpse into Anaïs Nin’s library in her hidden retreat, each piece captures the light, texture, and essence that define this extraordinary city.
