Klopf Architecture, Arterra Landscape Architects and Henry Calvert of Calvert Ventures Designed and built a new warm, modern, Eichler-inspired, open, indoor-outdoor home on a deeper-than-usual San Mateo Highlands property where an original Eichler house had burned to the ground.

Klopf建筑、Arterra景观建筑师和Calvert Ventures的亨利·卡尔弗特设计并建造了一座新的温暖、现代、由艾希勒启发的、开放的、室外的住宅，位于一处比往常更深的圣马特奥高地房产上，原来的艾希勒房子在那里被烧毁。

The owners wanted multi-generational living and larger spaces than the original home offered, but all parties agreed that the house should respect the neighborhood and blend in stylistically with the other Eichlers. At first the Klopf team considered re-using what little was left of the original home and expanding on it. But after discussions with the owner and builder, all parties agreed that the last few remaining elements of the house were not practical to re-use, so Klopf Architecture designed a new home that pushes the Eichler approach in new directions.

业主想要多代的生活和更大的空间比原来的房子提供，但所有各方同意，房子应该尊重邻里和融入风格与其他艾希勒。一开始，克洛普夫的团队考虑重新利用原有家园的少量资源，并在其基础上进行扩展。但经过与业主和建设者的讨论，所有各方一致认为，房子的最后几个部分是不实用的，所以克洛普夫建筑设计了一个新的房子，推动艾希勒方法向新的方向发展。

One disadvantage of Eichler production homes is that the house designs were not optimized for each specific lot. A new custom home offered the team a chance to start over. In this case, a longer house that opens up sideways to the south fit the lot better than the original square-ish house that used to open to the rear (west). Accordingly, the Klopf team designed an L-shaped “bar” house with a large glass wall with large sliding glass doors that faces sideways instead of to the rear like a typical Eichler. This glass wall opens to a pool and landscaped yard designed by Arterra Landscape Architects.

Eichler生产住宅的一个缺点是房屋设计没有针对每一个特定的批次进行优化。一个新的定制家为球队提供了重新开始的机会。在这种情况下，一个较长的房子，向南侧开，比原来的方形房子更适合在后面(西)开放。因此，克洛普夫小组设计了一个L形的“酒吧”房子，有一个大玻璃墙，大滑动玻璃门，面向侧面而不是后方，就像一个典型的艾希勒。这面玻璃墙通向由Arterra景观建筑师设计的游泳池和景观庭院。

Driving by the house, one might assume at first glance it is an Eichler because of the horizontality, the overhanging flat roof eaves, the dark gray vertical siding, and orange solid panel front door, but the house is designed for the 21st Century and is not meant to be a “Likeler.” You won’t see any posts and beams in this home. Instead, the ceiling decking is a western red cedar that covers over all the beams. Like Eichlers, this cedar runs continuously from inside to out, enhancing the indoor / outdoor feeling of the house, but unlike Eichlers it conceals a cavity for lighting, wiring, and insulation. Ceilings are higher, rooms are larger and more open, the master bathroom is light-filled and more generous, with a separate tub and shower and a separate toilet compartment, and there is plenty of storage. The garage even easily fits two of today’s vehicles with room to spare.

开车经过房子时，首先可以假设它是一个Eichler，因为它的水平性，悬垂的平屋顶屋檐，深灰色的垂直侧线，和橙色实心面板前门，但房子是为21世纪设计的，并不意味着“Likeler”。你在这家里看不到任何柱子和横梁相反，天花板是一种覆盖所有梁的西部红色雪松。与Eichlers一样，这种雪松从内向外延伸，增强了房屋的室内/室外感觉，但与Eichlers不同，它隐藏了照明、布线和绝缘的空腔。顶棚较高，房间面积更大、开度大，主浴室填充较轻、更慷慨，有单独的浴缸、淋浴、单独的卫生间隔间，有充足的储存空间。这个车库甚至可以很容易地容纳两辆今天的车，有足够的空间。

A massive 49-foot by 12-foot wall of glass and the continuity of materials from inside to outside enhance the inside-outside living concept, so the owners and their guests can flow freely from house to pool deck to BBQ to pool and back.

巨大的49英尺宽12英尺的玻璃墙和材料从内到外的连续性增强了内-外生活的概念，使业主和他们的客人可以自由地从一个房子到另一个游泳池甲板，烧烤到游泳池和背部。

During construction in the rough framing stage, Klopf thought the front of the Glass Wall House appeared too tall even though the house had looked right in the design renderings (probably because the house is uphill from the street). So Klopf Architecture paid the framer to change the roofline from how we had designed it to be lower along the front, allowing the home to blend in better with the neighborhood. One project goal was for people driving up the street to pass the home without immediately noticing there is an “imposter” on this lot, and making that change was essential to achieve that goal.

在粗糙的框架建造阶段，克洛普夫认为玻璃墙房子的正面显得太高了，尽管这所房子在设计渲染中看上去是对的(可能是因为这所房子是从街道上坡的)。所以Klopf建筑公司付钱给框架设计师来改变屋顶，让我们把它设计得更低一些，这样房子就能更好地融入社区。一个项目的目标是让人们在没有立即注意到这片土地上有一个“冒名顶替者”的情况下开车穿过街道，而做出这样的改变对于实现这一目标是至关重要的。

This 2,606 square foot, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom Eichler-inspired new house is located in San Mateo in the heart of the Silicon Valley.
