Menlo Park Three Pavilions

Menlo Park Three Pavilions

This modern residence, nestled amongst old-age trees, is composed of three distinct spaces which are interconnected by a combination of interior and exterior passage ways and an enclosed bridge. The high ceilings at the great room and kitchen, along with the full-height glazing and doors open the space up to the exterior, mingling with the surrounding trees. Full-height glazing throughout the rest of the pavilions continues this sense of communing with the park-like landscape.
