Burlingame Eichler Remodel

Located in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area, the Burlingame Eichler Home Remodel project by Klopf Architecture is a sensitive renovation of a classic mid-century Eichler home. Staying true to the original modernist spirit, the design team updated the layout, finishes, and energy performance of the home while preserving the character-defining elements of Eichler architecture.

The remodel reimagines the flow of the home, opening up previously compartmentalized spaces to establish seamless connections between living, kitchen, and outdoor areas. Full-height glass walls and skylights amplify natural light throughout the home, while new radiant floor heating and updated insulation elevate comfort and energy efficiency.

Material selections echo the warm, natural palette of the original structure. The interiors feature white walls, clean-lined wood cabinetry, and new flooring that complements the home’s mid-century bones. The atrium — a signature Eichler element — becomes the heart of the home, blending indoor and outdoor space in a tranquil, light-filled courtyard.

By modernizing without erasing the past, Klopf Architecture breathes new life into this classic California home, honoring its legacy while adapting it for 21st-century living.
