Lussoro Design + Build serves homeowners in Menlo Park with full-service design-build expertise. From kitchen remodels to ADU construction, our team brings craftsmanship, local knowledge, and a personal touch to every project.
Menlo Park has the Allied Arts Guild, a walkable downtown, tree-lined streets in The Willows, and mid-century modern gems up in Sharon Heights. It's one of those Peninsula towns where old California charm meets Silicon Valley money — and the result is homeowners who care deeply about design, quality, and getting it right.
We've worked on everything from historic Craftsman renovations in The Willows to mid-century kitchen remodels in Sharon Heights to new ADUs in backyard spaces that were previously just lawn. Menlo Park homeowners are building ADUs at a higher rate than almost anywhere else on the Peninsula — and for good reason. Rental income, aging parents, home offices, or just extra space. It makes sense.
Whatever you're planning — a kitchen that finally works, a bathroom that doesn't feel like 1975, or an ADU that creates income or flexibility — we'll design it, permit it, and build it right. One team, start to finish.
ADU Experts
We've built more ADUs in Menlo Park than we can count. We know the permitting process, the setback requirements, and how to design a unit that feels like a real home — not an afterthought.
Design + Build Under One Roof
Our designers and builders are on the same team, working from the same vision. No handoffs, no miscommunication, no blame games. One team, accountable to you from start to finish.
Local Knowledge
We've worked with Menlo Park's building department dozens of times. We know the process, the inspectors, and what it takes to get projects approved efficiently. That saves you time and headaches.
Quality Without the Upsell
We're not trying to talk you into things you don't need. We'll design a project that fits your vision and your budget — then execute it with the craftsmanship it deserves.

Allied Arts is a historic district with homes designed by notable architects. Remodels should preserve the character and architectural integrity. Menlo Park's Planning Division reviews projects for compatibility. We've worked on several Allied Arts homes, respecting original design intent while discreetly modernizing kitchens, bathrooms, and systems. Our recent bathroom remodel in Allied Arts preserved original tile and fixtures while updating plumbing and lighting.
Yes, Menlo Park allows ADUs up to 1,200 sq ft on most single-family lots. The city has streamlined permitting under California ADU laws, with reduced setbacks and no owner-occupancy requirement. We've designed and built ADUs throughout Menlo Park, from modern studios in Sharon Heights to craftsman-style cottages in the Willows, all meeting city standards.
Menlo Park has significant Eichler neighborhoods (Flood Triangle, Linfield Oaks). We preserve their mid-century character—post-and-beam structure, floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor-outdoor flow—while updating kitchens, modernizing electrical and plumbing, and improving insulation. Common upgrades include opening up galley kitchens, adding islands, and replacing original single-pane glass with energy-efficient alternatives that match the original aesthetic.
Menlo Park building permits take 4-6 weeks for standard remodels. Projects requiring Planning approval (large additions, second stories, variances) add 6-10 weeks. Historic district projects may need additional review. We prepare thorough plans, coordinate with city staff, and manage the entire permitting process to minimize delays.
