Completed Project: Menlo Park Retail/Office Space

January 18, 2018

Cody|Brock completed the renovation and upgrade of this 7,500 square-foot two-story building in downtown Menlo Park. The shell renovation included demo of the majority of the existing shell, then substantial retrofitting of the steel structural framing components. In order to maintain some of the existing wood frame structure, this extremely technical project required temporary supports and all new footings. Cody|Brock incorporated an intricate new fire sprinkler system to maximize ceiling height, along with all new HVAC and MEP systems. An elevator was installed to facilitate access.

Façade improvements included cypress tongue & groove wood cladding and corrugated metal panels. Second floor solar screens made from cypress wood and steel were added for privacy and to minimize sun and heat. The electrical panel is gracefully hidden behind a wood blind door to maintain the natural look of the exterior.
