The goal, re-design a devoted Eichler family's home to suite all five members and their tastes. The plan, keep intact the same street lined single story Eichlers, keeping the neighbors happy, and designing a more open useful home. Klopf designed an "L" shape plan out of the original "H" post and beam structure. The kitchen, living room and hallway were all opened up so the whole family resides in one common space and sensibly tucked away private areas including a home office to the back of the house.
