Mindful Construction x Bay Area Eichler Homes
Our co-founder, Tony, has a special connection to Eichler homes, having grown up in one himself. He understands that these unique dwellings require a different approach to living and design compared to traditional homes. Eichler homes are renowned for their mid-century modern design and emphasis on indoor-outdoor living. Their distinct features, such as open floor plans, floor-to-ceiling windows, and open-air atriums and courtyards, create a seamless connection with nature.
At Mindful Construction, we understand the unique characteristics and needs of Eichler homes. We take special care to preserve their integrity and ensure any construction or renovation work respects their original design principles. Our focus is always on connecting the indoor space to the outdoor living areas, creating a cohesive and harmonious feeling throughout the property.
When Tony started this company, he was driven by a vision to reimagine landscaping and knew he wanted to reconnect with Eichlers. His goal is to enhance the quality of life for Eichler residents by creating elevated outdoor spaces that complement and extend the distinctive architecture of these homes. We are committed to preserving architectural heritage and providing tailored solutions for homeowners of Eichler properties.
Our goal is to be mindful throughout the entire process—design, build, and decorating stages—while focusing on enhancing the beauty and functionality of these iconic homes.
Growing up in an Eichler community held a special charm. Little did I know then, but I would be considered a 'Berry Boy' because every street name ended with 'berry.' Our home stood proudly on Danberry Lane, a mere stone's throw from my elementary school. Once classes were done, the streets became our playground until the call for dinner echoed through the neighborhood. It was a tight-knit community where everyone looked out for each other, and everything we needed was within reach.
Memories flood back of the towering floor-to-ceiling windows, the expansive backyard with its wooden decking, and the lush greenery all around. We spent endless hours outdoors, playing on the swingsets, sharing meals with neighbors, and inventing games with friends. Those were the carefree days of the early 60s. Now, as the CEO of a company dedicated to helping Eichler homeowners create their ideal outdoor spaces, I'm driven by a passion for preserving the essence of these homes while allowing each owner to imprint their own style. Eichler homeowners bring a unique energy and enthusiasm to the table, eager to honor the legacy of Joseph Eichler while adding their personal touch to their outdoor havens.
If you're the proud owner of an Eichler home, let's connect! Whether it's to reminisce about old times or brainstorm ideas for your outdoor oasis, I'd love to hear from you.
