Highlands Eichler

Residential Renovation
Peninsula/San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Having purchased an Eichler that hadn’t been updated since it was built in 1956, our clients hired us to help them improve on the design without leaving too many fingerprints. We opened up the kitchen, dining and living side of the house while reorganizing the four bedrooms on the other side of the atrium. A cream-colored terrazzo floor, light ceilings, natural wood and a muted palette unify the interiors while allowing the true impact of the design to be the coastal mountain views. Despite undergoing a total renovation, the midcentury vibe remains present and alive, yet with a more modern flair.
