An Eichler Neighborhood #1

For those of you unfamiliar with this particular housing style...As I was...UNTIL, I moved to San Jose, CA and DISCOVERED quite a treasure trove of EICHLER HOMES! J. Eichler was a real estate developer who during the period of 1949-1966 built over 10,000 of the "CA Modern" type of house in NO & SO CA...I have never seen THE INCREDIBLES movie, but the house is supposed to resemble an Eichler home.

Yep, we live in an Eichler neighborhood. Not much for space or storage but it will do.

Yes you should do your research. Joseph Eichler was the builder, not the designer/architect..

Here in Orange County we have three Eichler tracts. One each in the cities of; Tustin, Orange and Villa Park! :-)

eichler was a developer -- the architect was the firm of anshen and allen -- there are MANY resources, even right here on youtube on eichler, including a short documentary on eichler himself which provides much detail rather than your ridiculous shaky video....

Eichler didn't know a hammer from a nail. He'd sold the family grocery business & briefly rented a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in San Mateo. Two of his architects, Robert Anschen & A. Quincy Jones, combined the Usonian prairie house with the post & beam construction of Mies Van Der Rohe's Farnsworth House. But many of the Eichler signature homes were built around novelty atriums. They pioneered pre-fab & eco-friendly design. But the space emphasized homemaking & childcare needs.
