Shelving

Built in Sunset Park, L.A., the original model was made by ERLA Construction (a company started by one of Minarc's cofounders) from a structural insulated panel (SIP) developed in house.

Pictured here and in the top image, the 350-square-foot Plús Hús ADU is an example of Minarc's larger offerings.

Apart from housing storage, the daybed built into the end of the microhouse can be pulled out to accommodate two more guests for the night.

The bed sits above the bathroom at the back in Halycon 01. In the larger models, an extra bedroom is added to the rear of the home.

The bar placed between the halves of the half-moon windows is made of mango wood: an example of a bespoke riff on the original Oasis design.

Mini Glo-Ball lights are installed across the walls of the unit, and LED strips can be placed on a shelf just beneath the ceiling. While the units come with a skylight in the bathroom, an extra one can be placed above the bed.

The architects added a cork wall behind the bed for a layer of warmth within the space.

The preserved brick chimney was exposed and cleaned up in the remodel. A classic Smeg range and exhaust hood create a pleasing contrast with the contemporary Kerf cabinetry.

The new structural support at the island is a slim intervention that enabled the firm to open up the kitchen to the rest of the home.

The new windows echo the style of the old ones while providing improved energy efficiency. The wood trim syncs with the new casework elsewhere in the home.

The half-wall makes furniture arrangement in the living room a bit easier, as a couch can be placed against it to create a conversation area near the preserved window seat.

SHED replaced the windows with new wood units of the same style. Note how the shelving at the half-wall aligns perfectly with the window mullions.
