"In January 2020 we moved out to renovate our Eichler home. We had raised our family there and it was a hodgepodge of various styles, we needed to redo everything from moving walls, electrical, heating, new kitchen layout, accessible master bath, etc. The Klopf architect group met with us, heard our needs and came up with a beautiful plan that brought our modern home back to life with functionality. 

We met weekly at the house with the contractor and the architect. The house was mostly gutted and we had lots of decisions to make as things progressed. At every point we had the info we needed to make good decisions about everything that went into the house. We love how our home turned out and it has far exceeded our expectations. The Klopf group are all lovely people and are good to work with!"

"It’s been a year since we’ve completed our renovation, and we’re thrilled with the results and we’re so happy we worked with John Klopf and his team. We own an Eichler and had heard so many horror stories of remodeling projects gone wrong. It was important during the hiring process to find someone who was very familiar with Eichlers and would respect the Eichler aesthetic and integrate our needs. We found the experience and perspective that Klopf possessed were unparalleled. In addition, as first-time renovators, it was great to have someone in our corner who was very communicative, professional, punctual, honest, and patient. From the permitting process to the finishing touches, Klopf and our lead designer Yegvenia were there to answer all our questions and provide their valuable insights. If we ever find ourselves in a situation where we need to hire an architect or we’re starting another renovation project, we’re definitely reaching out to Klopf Architecture again."

"Klopf's team was absolutely awesome. They do only modern builds, and they are very good at it. We loved that they would work with us only if they could help manage the project end-to-end, unlike many other architects who essentially transition the project over to the GC and step back into a consulting role. Klopf recommended our GC - Coast-2-Coast, and both of them worked jointly meeting every week for an hour to keep the project on track. Klopf's designs are sophisticated, modern, yet timeless and accessible - they fit the project to our needs and the way we want to live. Couldn't recommend them more highly."

"Klopf Architecture was an excellent partner in our renovation process. We were drawn in, because we loved the philosophy of accentuating the Eichler style with modern touches. From beginning to end, Ethan and John were absolutely great to work with--professional and personable! They provided necessary guidance but also customized that guidance to our particular needs and preferences; they gave their opinions and suggestions openly but were never overbearing. They offered rather brilliant suggestions when it came to optimizing the floor plan and ingenious advice around lighting, and although there were some significant delays related to the pandemic, we are completely satisfied with the finished product."

"We hired Klopf Architecture on the advice of several other Eichler homeowners, who couldn't recommend John and his team more highly; having completed a total remodel with the firm, those recommendations were absolutely correct. During the design phase, John, Angela, and Yevgenia went through multiple revisions with us, finding space where we thought none existed for a walk-in closet, brightening up the kitchen with a huge skylight, and reclaiming part of the garage for a laundry room. During construction, Angela was on site every week, reviewing plans with our contractor and brainstorming ways to keep the sightlines and surfaces in the house as clean as possible. Her renderings were invaluable as we worked out tile designs and fixture placement, and she never balked at the multiple "So, this might sound crazy, but..." emails I sent to her throughout the project. Having lived in the remodeled house for three years now, we're thrilled with the results. Everything is new, but it still "feels" like the original Eichler--it's a warm, human-scale house, with an extremely functional layout and so much light. We unreservedly recommend the firm to anyone planning a modern build/remodel." 

"John and his team brought unparalleled mid-century modern design experience to our Eichler remodel and helped bring our vision to life. The Klopf team was engaged with us every step of the way, provided valuable guidance at critical junctures of our project and helped us navigate our first project at this scale. When there were unexpected challenges that were either within or out of their control, they took ownership and worked to make things right with a high degree of professionalism and care. Klopf Architecture are true mid-century modern / Eichler experts and the finished product is a testament to their craft."
