floor plan of a modern Eichler home featuring an outdoor atrium at the center of the house by AS Architecture, Inc. in Castro Valley, California

The classic mid-century modern Eichler houses are organized around a central atrium. This Castro Valley Eichler remodel emphasizes California indoor/outdoor living by restoring the atrium to be used as originally intended. The atrium is surrounded by floor to ceiling glass with lush evergreen plantings that is open to the sky above.

All new sliding glass doors and windows open up the space to receive direct and indirect light from all around. The remodel removes various walls to open up the living dining and kitchen space, with the kitchen organized as a large wall with an island for entertaining. All sleeping and secondary spaces are pushed towards the boundary of the house with nodes of serving spaces (bathrooms, closets, etc) between the sleeping spaces.
