Lakeside Retreat
Created for a couple whose Menlo Park residence we remodeled several years ago, this new lakeside cottage features dramatic views and interior volumes. As the owners wished to leave the suburban feel behind, the residence has no sheetrock at all, instead utilizing red oak flooring and pickled pine walls, ceilings and site built cabinetry. Designed to be a summer retreat, the owners have asked us to transform it into a year-round residence.
A recent addition has added a new garage with home office and hobby room on the lower level, and a kids playroom and "bunkhouse" above.
