Product Description

Synopsis

This text honors the work of Joseph Eichler, a pioneering developer of California's middle-class residential suburbs during the 1950s and 60s. The text explores Eichler himself and those who joined in his groundbreaking work, the source of Eichler's ideas and designs, how the homes were built, how builders were able to keep the building process wit
Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
Modernist residential design was, in many ways, ideally suited to the everyday realities of 1950s American middle-class culture, and in California it meshed with the emerging post-World War II culture better than anywhere else. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book with great pictures 14 Feb 2011
By Edward Lynch
Format:Hardcover
This is a stunning book with some outstanding photography. I came to this via a circuitous route in that many of the photographs included were apparently the inspiration for the Parr house design in Pixar's The Incredibles movie. That was my introduction to Eichler style design and I've been a fan ever since. At the time of writing this review the book is still available at its cover price from Eichler Network's online CA Modern Shop, although they apparently only have limited quantities remaining. So don't pay silly money unless you have too!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book on Eichler 14 Nov 2006
By mrs.c - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Whether you have an interest in mid-century modern design, Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian architecture or just Eichler...this book is a terrifc buy. While content rich it is still visually appealing and can easily function as a "coffee table" book. This book also serves as a terrific "idea guide" for those in search of small spacce solutions and/or modern landscaping layouts that bring the "outdoors in."

This book is filled with detailed descriptions of many aspects of Joseph Eichler and Eicher Homes. A marvelous array of photographs complement the engaging text.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book! 6 Dec 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a Eichler home owner I couldn't wait for this book to arrive and thankfully it was a joy to read and pour over all the original photos in the book. I always knew I owned a special home and now I own a wonderful book that validates that too. Even if you are not a Eichler homeowner, but rather just a fan of mid-century homes this is also a must have for your library as it goes into more then just Joe Eichler and his homes. Enjoy the read!
