A single-family home in Pasadena received a thoughtful re-imagining when it was time for a remodel and addition. Medium Plenty updated and expanded the existing house and converted a detached garage into a stand-alone ADU. Careful orientation and shading devices provide relief from harsh summers, while maximizing natural light year-round.

Nestled in the hills of the Fryman Canyon Estates area in Studio City, California, the Oakdell Residence is a remodel and addition to an existing 1960’s mid-century home. Originally built in 1957, the one-story, 3,900 square feet property remained a kind of a midcentury time capsule until rejuvenated by Assembledge+.

We believe that in the relationship between being and place, it is the sensations that provide harmony. Contact with the nature of the elements transforms a being, making him identify with his environment and connect with his roots. A space composed of elements in their purest forms inspires a body to seek its essences.

Exterior: Grey-washed vertical cedar siding, standing seam metal roofing and large black-framed windows and doors combine for a modern and restrained palate. The garage volume is clad in black standing seam metal to distinguish it from the main residence. Sliders and doors, the facade recedes to create shelter and covering and is signified by a material change to clear coated vertical cedar siding. Interior spaces were finished with smooth white walls, polished concrete floors and minimal white oak casework.

This apartment occupies the top floor of a 60’s building in Campo Grande, Lisbon. The compartments had harmonious proportions and were well lit, so the main challenges were to re-organize the program, establishing a connection with the attic that was vacant at the time, and provide the technical facilities of a contemporary home.

Drawn to the extensive vegetation rather than the views to the ocean, the client’s brief asked for an experience “like camping amongst the trees, but without the tent”. Rather than optimising views to the ocean that may be lost over time as the foreshore vegetation matures, this home is thoughtfully woven between the existing stand of Brushbox tree...
