Bathroom Projects
Bathrooms in Eichler and Ranch Homes
Sunnyvale’s Eichlers have slab floors with radiant heat, post-and-beam ceilings and walls of glass, so bathroom remodels need plumbing routed with care and finishes that respect the mid-century design. Ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s are more conventional. We remodel both, from primary suites to hall baths.
Eichlers and single-story districts: Sunnyvale has roughly a thousand Eichler homes in tracts built from 1949 to 1968, including Fairbrae, Rancho Verde, and Fairorchard and Fairwood in Cherry Chase. The City publishes Eichler Design Guidelines, and owner-initiated Single-Story (S) Combining Districts limit homes to one floor, 17 feet and 45% floor area ratio.
Code Items
