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+.

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.
