This updated 1962 Eichler home in San Francisco is the result of an extensive remodel designed by Klopf Architecture.

Their clients wanted a brighter home with clean lines and visual surprises that would blur the boundaries between inside and outside.

Taking a cue from the original design, Klopf architecture eliminated the wood siding on the balconies and restored them to a smooth plaster.

The exterior siding on the rest of the house was also replaced with vertical Kayu Batu wood.

Inside, wood stairs lead up to the various levels of the home, and large windows allow for plenty of natural light to fill the space.
