This commitment seeks to forge enduring spaces prioritizing user experience, fostering innovation, and upholding sustainability principles. We believe in the art of collaboration. The name Assembledge+ was deliberately chosen to convey the firm’s passion for “assembling” all the often-complex elements of the design process to produce an architecture that is precise, considered, and of exceptional quality. The + signifies an approach that looks at the whole combination of interrelated parts and that architecture is more than drawings and an arrangement of building materials. It includes the process of collaboration with clients, specialist consultants, and builders. It also consists of an ongoing exploration and innovation – programmatic, aesthetic, and technological – to pursue optimal, customized solutions for every project. Creating enduring environments designed responsibly has been the hallmark of the firm’s design culture, relying on sustainable strategies, creating flexible series of highly usable enclosed and open spaces, and collapsing the boundary between interior and exterior. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Kitchen Design - Sustainable Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Energy-Efficient Homes - Floor Plans - 3D Rendering - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Green Building - Space Planning - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Universal Design - Multigenerational Homes - Pool House Design & Construction - Drafting - Home Restoration - Barn Design & Construction - Basement Remodeling - Construction Drawings - Custom Home - Remodel - Renovation ### Areas Served - Los Angeles - Bel Air - Brentwood Los Angeles - Hollywood - Venice - North Glendale - Glendale - Pasadena - Van Nuys - East Los Angeles - Inglewood - Burbank - Universal City - Santa Monica - North Hollywood - Northridge - Florence-Graham - Encino - Huntington Park - Sherman Oaks - Culver City - Bell Gardens - Studio City - West Hollywood - Bell - Beverly Hills - South Pasadena - Maywood - Cudahy - La Canada Flintridge - La Crescenta-Montrose - Walnut Park - Commerce - Lake Balboa - North Hills - Marina del Rey - Vernon - California - Canada - Colorado - Dodgertown - Hawaii - La Crescenta - Montrose - Orange County - Panorama City - Playa del Rey - Southern California - Sun Valley - Valley Village ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Assembledge | | Address | 6255 West Sunset Boulevard, Suite 920, Los Angeles, California 90028, United States | | Phone | (323) 951-0045 | | Website | https://assembledge.com | | Followers on Houzz | 154 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/pages/Assembledge/192040154139435?ref=br\_rs - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/assembledge - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/assembledge- - Blog — http://www.assembledge.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Assembledge](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/assembledge-pfvwus-pf~1829519665) - **Website:** https://assembledge.com - **Phone:** (323) 951-0045 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - AIA CA Residential Award - AIA LA Residential Architecture Award - AIA LA Restaurant Design Award - AN Interior, Top 50 - International Design Awards - Los Angeles Business Council Architectural Awards - Luxe Gold List - Residential Design Magazine Award - Southern California Development Forum - **Best of Houzz:** 3 awards (2021–2026), for Design. **Affiliations** - [AIA Los Angeles](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/aia-los-angeles-pfvwus-pf~1829789113) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 2 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### All 2 reviews **★★★★★ — marilynkitzes, Dec. 2020** > Just look at this wonderful firm's portfolio and you'll understand the gorgeous work of Assembledge.

The Western Red Cedar lined guest house/garage pavilion establishes a datum line that carves and connects the two larger volumes of the living and sleeping pavilions, comprised of an oversized charcoal-colored board, batten extira and cement board siding. A deep overhang mitigates solar heat gain and shields from the sun exposure.

The v… - [St. Andrews ADU and Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/st-andrews-adu-and-addition-pj-vj~6984357) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 18 - Description: Set in Hancock Park, a historic residential enclave in central Los Angeles, the St. Andrews Accessory Dwelling Unit is designed in concert with an addition to the main house. Richly colored, V-groove fiber cement panels provide a visual connection between the new two-story ADU and the existing 1916 craftsman bungalow. Yet, the ADU also expresses contemporary features through its distilled sculptural form. Clean lines and simple geometry emphasize the modern gestures while large windows and pocke… - [Sunset Plaza](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunset-plaza-pj-vj~596053) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 20 - Description: Located above the Sunset Strip in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, the residence opens up to the surrounding landscape allowing the project to utilize all of the relatively flat site, unique to the hills.

Large windows and clerestories fill the interior with natural light and foster a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, expanding the home into the surrounding exterior spaces. In the living room, large glass doors pocket away so that the rising canyon hillside becomes the northwest wall of the room, encompassing a firepit and pool.
