This new home in San Mateo Highlands, California, has been designed by Klopf Architecture as a replacement house for an original Eichler house that burnt down.

Working together with contractor Henry Calvert of Calvert Ventures, the architects drew inspiration from the original house to create a more open home in the shape of an “L”.

The backyard, designed by Arterra Landscape Architects, is fully landscaped and includes a pool, a firepit, a barbeque, and a space for outdoor dining.

Behind a large wall of glass, there’s an open floor plan with the kitchen, dining, and living room all sharing the same space.

The master bedroom looks onto the backyard through large floor to ceiling windows and the wood ceiling carries through to the outside as well.

In the master bathroom, there’s plenty of light from the window and skylight. The shower has been separated from the bath, although they do share the same tile on the wall.

In another of the home’s bedrooms, windows follow the roof line, ensuring an abundance of natural light.

In a secondary bathroom, the gray tiles have been used again, creating a consistent look throughout the home.
