Birdhouse Ranch


Location: Los Angeles, California
Project Type: Residential Renovation
Status: Completed 2025
Scale: 5000 ft²
SSP Team: Maggie Angelini, Mary Casper, Francesca Leventis, Maria Sviridova

 

SSP was invited to renovate a midcentury “birdhouse” ranch in Westchester, where our aim was to blend its original character with a fresh, modern spirit. The once-closed entry now opens directly into a Great Room, which serves as a connective hub between private quarters and airy gathering spaces. Throughout, we preserved original details such as crown molding, a brick fireplace, and diamond‑paned windows, pairing them with new finishes and custom millwork. The home’s courtyard plan wraps around a pool, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection and anchoring everyday family life.
