This renovation and extension of a single-story Ranch-style home in Menlo Park, CA involves reconfiguring the living room and kitchen to foster a more open and efficient layout. The former dining area has been repurposed into a versatile tatami room, while a new dining room addition with a high butterfly roof is situated at the rear, seamlessly connecting to a deck and yard through a continuous fold-away door. Elevating the new deck to dining room level ensures a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Additionally, an under-utilized media room has been transformed into a luxurious master suite. To enhance the contemporary ambiance, several skylights have been strategically installed, flooding the interiors with natural light.
