Modern Shingle Style

Designed for a family of four, this Modern home draws upon the spirit of the American Shingle Style and contemporary Dutch architecture to create a vibrant good neighbor in an established area of Menlo Park, California. The 4,500 square-foot, two-story home with a full basement updates the traditional elements of the wrap-around porch, bay window, and gabled roof to create a fresh, expressive piece of residential architecture. Through this reinterpretation, traditional rules of style and proportion are loosened to allow for expansive glass openings, a free-flowing plan, and strong visual and physical connections to the outdoors.
