Nestled in the hills of the Fryman Canyon Estates area in Studio City, California, the Fryman Canyon Residence is a remodel and an addition to an existing 1960’s mid-century home. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors blur the lines between indoor-outdoor living, bringing in ample light and extending the living area into the surrounding landscape.

The living areas, dining, and the kitchen are visually connected by zig-zag-sliding doors that open to the garden featuring a pool, shaded by broad roof overhangs that mitigate sun exposure at the full-height window walls.

A minimalist palette of stone, hardwood floor, and while plaster echo the qualities of the existing home while the thin roof plane keeps with the mid-century horizontal sensibility.
