Klopf Architecture

We searched Houzz for local architects when remodeling our recently purchased custom mid-century modern house on the peninsula. After interviewing several firms we chose Klopf for our project and can’t be happier with the result. We ended up working directly with John and Fernanda on his team and they guided our vision in a tasteful way improved the overall flow of the house in several areas. Additionally, John and Fernanda incorporated many design elements that were true to the mid-century theme but with a modern aesthetic - as we like to say, they listened to not only what we wanted but what the house wants. John team have a proven process for communicating with the homeowners, being organized, following up on issues and concerns, as well as working with the contractor, specialized engineering firms, and even the city planning department. At the conclusion of this project we are extremely satisfied with Klopf Architecture and highly recommend them - especially if you you want your project to be completed in a thoughtful, tasteful, and in a manner that allows the final product to show off its character, or soul if you will.

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!

We hired John and Lucie to help us with an addition and overall remodel of our Eichler home. They really did an amazing job designing the addition to stay true to the concepts of the Eichler home. They were also very helpful in project management to keep the project on time when construction was at an all time high in demand. They worked tirelessly to find us a great contractor, and find engineers to sign off on the structural requirements when we were in a pinch to pass inspection. They truly were client centric in their approach and we really appreciated all their thoughtfulness. Thanks John and Lucie!
