Garden and Glass by Fergus Garber Architects in Menlo Park

Garden and Glass, a contemporary home designed on a narrow, trapezoid-shaped lot in Menlo Park, California, features two wings embracing a generous garden. The single-story pavilion hosts the master suite, while the two-story structure includes children’s rooms, a kitchen, and living spaces. Designed by Fergus Garber Architects in 2018, the property includes a built-in barbecue, bar, and bocci ball court.

Not every new build comes to us neatly wrapped—but we can still deliver a perfect presentation. Creating a contemporary home on a narrow, trapezoid-shaped lot required some thinking outside of the box.

Compositionally, this single-family home features two wings—a single-story pavilion that hosts the master suite to one side and a two-story piece housing the childrens’ rooms and kitchen, living room, and dining room on the other.
