I grew up in an Eichler when my family purchased and lived in one from 1963 until about 1975 (in Palo Alto, CA). The original features and design were amazing, and I've been trying to retrofit some of those characteristics into each of the houses I've lived in since. Original Eichler homes had radiant heated floors that provided amazing comfort (even though there wasn't any insulation in the exterior walls), and the flat roofs with clerestory windows kept the interiors bright and open. Amazing houses - thanks for carrying on this unique design with modern interpretations.

Beautiful work!! Thank you for continuing the great design tradition...

[@jillkoop5682]

This is great! Best of luck to this builder!!!

[@user-xi7gz6sz4w]

Originals were post & beam construction, which allowed for truly open concept. I'm not an architect, but I've heard that today's building codes don't permit expansive post & beam residence construction (not sure why).

I like Jickie too. I hope to see her at Modernism Week later this month. I’m also volunteering at Modernism so getting very excited!

Wow!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

Love the floors. I would change them from the originals too. Don’t use a galley kitchen and make the bedrooms bigger.

[@joevarga5982]

Yea, the bedrooms in Eichler homes are painfully small. Few people today want to live in a child-sized MBR.

I'm not trying to be negative, I look at house design because I do a lot of work in a large remodel (7200sqft.) There are some things that really stand out as poor design here. Pillars coming down from the ceiling to the floor really effects the flow of the room in a bad way IMO. The rest is minor, the house is in many ways very appealing otherwise.

This is bad design. I think they could have selected much larger or stronger beams so as not to use so many posts.

[@bruintoo]

Eh. Too much concrete in the hardscaping. Needs more landscaping.

Couldn't make it past the fauxhawk and bowtie
