Mid-Century Dream Home In Studio City
Lynn Harris, an executive vice president of production at Warner Bros., and her husband, Matti Leshem, founder and CEO of the branding company Protagonist, remodeled this classic mid-century post-and-beam house in Studio City. It was built in 1951, by architect Maynard Woodard, a former studio set designer for his personal residence while working at Welton Becket & Assoc., the architecture firm that designed Los Angeles landmarks like the Capitol Records Building and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
Harris and Leshem took the home through a yearlong renovation process, stripping, repairing and replacing everything in sight with the help of friend and LA-based designer Sarah Walker. The result is an absolutely pristine example of an updated mid-century modern, and pretty much my ultimate dream home!
