A bit OT but not that much

Here's a Q that is a bit off topic ..

I have a friend who is relandscaping a home that is done in 1950s Moderne and wants the landscape to be consistent with the home. She is very influenced by the Case Study houses and has been looking at books of photos of those homes for landscape inspiration. The problem is, those books (and the homes) focus on architecture not landscape so there are glimpses of plants placed austerrely inside and adjacent to the homes but no photos of the general landscapes popular then. It seems to me that they relied heavily on flat planes of grass and slopes covered in ice plant but beyond that, I am at a loss to help her. Does anyone have any suggestions for where to find photos or which landscape designers to research for that era?

Thanks

N
