Whole-House Remodel & Addition in Atherton, CA
For this Atherton project, Design & Construction by M&M completed a whole-house renovation with an addition — a comprehensive transformation that reworked the home’s layout, finishes, and connection to the outdoors while adding new, functional space. It’s the kind of large, multi-part project where managing design, permitting, and construction as one coordinated process keeps everything aligned from start to finish.
A brighter, more connected home
Throughout the home, walls of sliding glass doors open the interior to the surrounding grounds, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and filling the living spaces with natural light. Custom built-ins were designed and integrated throughout, adding storage and a tailored, finished feel that off-the-shelf cabinetry can’t match.
A private primary suite
The primary suite was designed as a true private retreat. Soaring vaulted ceilings give the room a sense of volume and calm, while a secluded balcony extends the suite to the outdoors — a quiet, separate space away from the home’s main living areas.
A mudroom addition
As part of the project, we added a dedicated mudroom — a practical, everyday-functional space that improves how the home works for daily living, from managing shoes and coats to keeping the main living areas clean and organized.

Why this kind of project fits Atherton
In a community like Atherton, where homeowners invest significantly in properties they plan to keep long-term, a whole-house remodel with an addition is a way to modernize an older home, improve how it functions, and add lasting value. Larger projects like this come with real planning considerations — layout changes, structural work, added square footage, and the city’s permitting process. Because Design by M&M handles design and construction together, homeowners work with a single team that keeps the whole project aligned, from the first design decision through the final walkthrough.
