South Pasadena House

Pasadena, California, 2020

Featured Medium: Angled cedar cladding

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. The historic home and modern interventions are brought into visual conversation through the selection of unifying materials and consistent architectural shapes and lines throughout.
