What should you know before remodeling an Eichler kitchen?
Before remodeling an Eichler kitchen, plan for three things a typical ranch-house kitchen doesn't have: an exposed post-and-beam ceiling, a concrete slab floor that often holds radiant heating tubes, and walls of glass that limit where cabinets can go.
The open ceiling leaves little room for ducts or recessed lights, so hood venting and lighting are planned early. Moving the sink or adding an island drain means cutting the slab, and any radiant tubing has to be located first. Many owners choose flat-panel cabinet doors and simple hardware to match the architecture.
Nearby Eichler tracts include Monta Loma in Mountain View and Greenmeadow and Green Gables in Palo Alto, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Sunnyvale publishes Heritage and Eichler Design Guidelines for exterior work.
