Bal House
Menlo Park, California
The bedroom is in the west wing and the living and cooking area in the second wing.
This modern building in Menlo Park, California, is an old ranch house that was thoroughly renovated and given a second wing. Tailored to the needs of older residents, it was designed so that everything is within easy reach. The two wings gradually diverge from the original structure to generate a glass-clad fissure in between. Hence the interior and the garden are interwoven and so natural green elements come alive in the building.
The bathroom contains the GROHE Allure Thermostatic shower mixer, which with resource-saving GROHE EcoJoy technology fits perfectly in the modern Bal House. With GROHE TurboStat the water temperature can be controlled extremely precisely and maintained regardless of the water pressure and supply. The convincing GROHE Concetto basin mixer with the inclined operating lever subtly invites usage.
