The two wings of the addition are connected by a central “void space.” The glass walls visually draw the garden and greenery into the living space. Both East Coast transplants, the couple wanted to more easily take advantage of favorable gardening conditions in the mild Northern California climate. With this in mind, they used the renovation to bring the outdoors in, as well as encourage easy and direct exterior access for gardening.

The entrance leads to a spacious central atrium—a popular feature of many Eichler homes.

To blur the line between indoors and outdoors, San Francisco–based Klopf Architecture integrated glass doors that organically separate the living area from the patio.

The pitched roofs are topped with CINDU metal cladding.

A fire pit and small courtyard lie directly adjacent to the dining space.

The sofa and side table are from West Elm. The pillow is adorned with a stylized sun that Girard created for the New York restaurant La Fonda del Sol.

A large floor-to-ceiling, two-sided brick fireplace dominates the living room and serves as a divider from the open dining area.

The home features a gorgeous glass atrium at its center.

"The central court acts as a glass ‘jewel’ at the heart of the house," say the architects, who styled it in the likeness of a Japanese garden.

The house is organized around a diamond-shaped inner courtyard.

Large sliding doors fully enable indoor/outdoor living.
