Klopf Architecture completely remodeled this once dark Eichler house in Palo Alto creating a more open, bright and functional family home. The reconfigured great room with new full height windows and sliding glass doors blends the indoors with the newly landscaped patio and seating areas outside. The former galley kitchen was relocated and was opened up to have clear sight lines through the great room and out to the patios and yard, including a large island and a beautiful walnut bar countertop with seating. An integrated small front addition was added allowing for a more spacious master bath and hall bath layouts. With the removal of the old brick fireplace, larger sliding glass doors and multiple skylights now flood the home with natural light.
克洛普夫建筑完全改造了这座曾经黑暗的艾希勒在帕洛阿尔托的房子，创造了一个更加开放、明亮和功能齐全的家庭住宅。重新配置的大房间有新的全高度窗户和滑动玻璃门，将室内与新美化的庭院和外面的座位区结合在一起。原来的厨房被重新安置，打开后，大房间和院子里都有清晰的视线，包括一个大岛和一个漂亮的带座位的胡桃吧台面。一个综合的小前面增加了允许一个更宽敞的主浴室和大厅浴室布局。随着旧砖块壁炉的拆除，更大的滑动玻璃门和多个天窗现在淹没了家里的自然光。
The goals were to work within the Eichler style while creating a more open, indoor-outdoor flow and functional spaces, as well as a more efficient building envelope including a well insulated roof, providing solutions that many Eichler homeowners appreciate. The original entryway lacked unique details; the clients desired a more gracious front approach. The historic Eichler color palette was used to create a modern updated front facade.
目标是在艾希勒风格下工作，同时创造一个更开放的室内-室外流动和功能空间，以及一个更有效的建筑围护结构，包括一个隔热良好的屋顶，提供许多艾希勒房主欣赏的解决方案。最初的入口缺乏独特的细节；客户希望有一种更优雅的前沿方式。历史上的艾希勒调色板被用来创建一个现代更新的正面外观。
Durable grey porcelain floor tiles unify the entire home, creating a continuous flow. They, along with white walls, provide a backdrop for the unique elements and materials to stand on their own, such as the brightly colored mosaic tiles, the walnut bar and furniture, and stained ceiling boards. A secondary living space was extended out to the patio with the addition of a bench and additional seating. This Single family Eichler 4 bedroom 2 bath remodel is located in the heart of the Silicon Valley.
耐用的灰色瓷砖统一了整个家居，创造了源源不断的流动。它们与白色墙壁一起，为独特的元素和材料提供了一个独立站立的背景，如色彩鲜艳的马赛克瓷砖、核桃条和家具，以及彩色天花板。第二个居住空间延伸到露台，增加了一张长凳和更多的座位。这一单户Eichler 4卧室2浴室改造位于硅谷的中心地带。
