Marla was a long-time collaborator with the late restoration architect Martin Eli Weil, a founding member of the Los Angeles Conservancy. Together they researched and wrote Historic Structure Reports (HSRs) for Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House as well as the Bullock’s Department Store in Pasadena. They performed all aspects of restoration work on Lloyd Wright’s Deanna Durban Residence as well as exterior restoration and earthquake repair for the Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy in Mentryville.
