Three Sisters Renovate Their Parents' Midcentury Home

By Dwell @dwell
When a couple was looking to update their 1960s house in Brentwood, California, they didn't have to look far for help. Their daughters, who make up the Los Angeles- and New York-based design collective Mass Studio, took to the task. Taking inspiration from L.A.'s midcentury modern masters, including A. Quincy Jones, daughters Safura, Sanam, and Laylee helped create a more efficient space that shows off a varied art collection and lets light stream in from as many angles as possible.

The righthand building, which houses two bedrooms, originally had three separate roof structures. "We demolished them and transformed them into one continuous gabled roofline," Safura Salek says. "This also allowed us to raise the height of the roof in order to have higher ceilings in the interior spaces." New bronze aluminum windows and a custom entry door also helped spruce up the facade.
