Between the years of 1950 and 1974, Joseph Eichler Company or Eichler Homes built over 11,000 mid century modern homes in California. During that post war era, Eichler became one of the most influential builders of modern homes.
Eichler homes were airy and modern in comparison to most of the mass-produced, middle-class, postwar homes being built in the 1950s. The interiors had numerous unorthodox and innovative features including: exposed post-and-beam construction; tongue and groove decking for the ceilings following the roofline and concrete slab floors. Later models introduced the famous Eichler entry atriums, an open-air enclosed entrance foyer designed to further advance the Eichler concept of integrating outdoor and indoor spaces.
We love the modern design of Eichler homes and we appreciate modern day homeowners who maintain and improve their Eichler homes. Below are some stunning well maintained modern Eichler homes.
