Courtyard House | John Lum Architecture
Pavilion Style House Menlo Park, Calif. / United States / 2017
Nestled among a heritage redwood tree and mature oaks in a quiet suburban neighborhood, this Menlo Park residence was designed around a series of outdoor experiences. Minimalist and modern, the house consists of four distinct wood-clad pavilions connected by glass walkways that surround a central courtyard and open to an expansive backyard complete with raised pool and lounge areas. A covered walkway frames the entrance, leading to a double-height living / dining space. Bookended by outdoor spaces, the pavilion highlights the simple material palette of cedar, blackened steel, glass, and concrete, and is the backdrop for the homeowner’s collected art pieces.
