We wanted a balance between the craftsmanship of the stone façade and the modernity of its interior. A massive and heavy exterior, sculpted in stone, as opposed to a bright and voluminous interior that would also frame the landscape thanks to its almost museum-like openings.

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.
