Renewed Classic Eichler Remodel Klopf Architecture, Growsgreen Landscape Design, and Flegel's Construction partnered to bring this mid-century atrium Eichler home up to 21st century standards.

They entrusted Klopf Architecture to respectfully expand and update the home, while still keeping it “classic”.
