How to Bring Classic Mid-Century Modern Touches to Your Home | Interior Design Styles and Color Schemes for Home Decorating. Joseph Eichler. Eichler Homes[edit] Between 1950 and 1974, Joseph Eichler's company, Eichler Homes, built over 11,000[2] homes in nine communities in Northern California and homes in three communities in Southern California. They all came to be known as Eichlers.

During this period, Eichler became one of the nation's most influential builders of modern homes. The largest contiguous Eichler Homes development is 'The Highlands' in San Mateo, built between 1956 and 1964. Eichler Homes – Foster Residence, Granada Hills Unlike many developers of the post war housing boom, Joseph Eichler was a social visionary and commissioned designs primarily for middle-class Americans.

One of his stated aims was to construct inclusive and diverse planned communities, ideally featuring integrated parks and community centers. Design[edit] Joseph Eichler used well-known architects to design both the site plans and the homes themselves. Projects[edit] Eichler Homes neighborhoods[edit] Other projects[edit] Media[edit] Sources[edit] The Wonderful World of Eichler Homes | Eichler Network. Developer Joseph Eichler and his Eichler Homes, Inc. built nearly 11,000 single-family homes in California, beginning in the late 1940s. In Northern California, they can be found in areas in and around Marin county, the East Bay, San Mateo county, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, San Jose, San Francisco, and Sacramento.

Three small communities of Eichlers in Southern California stand in Orange, Thousand Oaks, and Granada Hills. In addition, there are three Eichler-built residences in New York state. Together these thousands of "Eichlers" reflect the beauty and uniqueness of the Eichler design and the integrity and daring of the builder behind it. Fifty years later, the house that Joe built endures as a marvelous legacy. By the mid-1940s, Joseph Eichler had become intrigued by modernist design and in particular one of the creations of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who had designed the Bazett house (Hillsborough, California), a rented home for Eichler during World War II.
