Description

This book explores the architectural legacy of Joseph Eichler, a pioneering developer who brought modernist design to the American suburbs. It examines Eichler's innovative approach to home building, which emphasized open floor plans, integration with nature, and affordability. The book includes photographs, floor plans, and essays that contextualize Eichler's work within the broader mid-century modern movement.
