This is My Favorite House... A Mid-Century Masterpiece

- Опубликовано: 23 авг 2024
- Eichler homes created a mainstay in mid-century modern and revolutionized what was possible - a house did not have to be "just a house". This is owed to their sleek profiles and innovative features, which in my opinion, still presents as the best overall package in this subgenre of homes - even today.

This sounds legit, can’t wait. Fully expect this house to be corner balanced and aligned
Hell yeah dude
You know the garage gonna be crazy. Congrats on the build .
Love the wide-open style, reminds me of Frank Sinatra's Twin Palms Estate.
I too am a lover of Mid Century style and thank you for the Eichler information. I think the 2.0 build is on point. so dope, count me in. and thanks again.
I am in the process of building my very own Eichler home in South America : )
When I saw this building style I fell in love and had to have one!
Very cool, have pics of your house?
Great series. Just discovered it. This is great.
Mid century styling is that $hit. Not for everyone, but just makes them better that some of us get it. Viva le difference
Excellent thoughts. I'm starting my build journey now of being true to the architecture but making it a 2.0 version. I'll be following along.
I got to work on a few of these when I was a carpenter. They are cool, open floor plan, lots of glass, large timber beams, tongue and groove ceiling, and the best feature, no stairs.
100% with you! Will love seeing what you come up with…
appreciate the introduction to a new interest of mine now
I have a few friends with Eichlers in tracks in Orange County. It’s been a dream of mine to own one since moving to the Orange County area around 15 years ago. In 2020 my fiancé and I were able to purchase a post and beam mid century home with many of the same characteristics of an Eichler, but we still hope one day to own the real deal. Like you commented, the market prices on these homes are very competitive and landing one is no easy feat.
I can’t wait to see your take on one, and will be looking forward to the updates.
Thanks and congrats on your MCM purchase
keep the architectural content coming
Congrats! Also great informative video of Eichlers! Look forward to your MTV Cribs video!
MTV Cribs is out... it's all about Architectural Digest now
congrats, you mentioned some side stories so cant wait to hear them. your neurosis for every project that you take on is very satisfying to watch.
Need an update on this!
Damn Eric you always dropping these jewels brother. I think Tommy needs to take down some notes jk. Great job on the video it awesome to you out here again.
I'm excited to share what is matter of factly the biggest project and undertaking of my life so far
Looks sick homie 🙌🏽
Hell yeah I’m out in NorCal too , haven’t heard anything about these houses till now, can’t wait to see it come together 🤘🏽🤘🏽
If you ever drive through one of the 9 neighborhoods here, it's like going through a time warp
U need a house where u can park your car in the living room. So cool
My good friend lived in an Eichler on greenridge, it was the best house layout I’ve ever been in. Like you said in extreme weather they’re really hot or really cold hah!
There's a house pending for $2M+ right now in Greenridge! Great neighborhood, I like it more than Oakland
My parents bought their first home for $34,000……..I will never be able to afford anything more than a mobile home, the value of a home today is beyond the cost of the actual materials alone.
I'm a big fan of these homes, also love the double gable roof model OJ-1605. very interested to see your future home build. Are you considering making modifications in your build or enhancements to improve insulation?
Used it as a basis but redesigned everything from the ground up
@@CornerBalanced Sounds very interesting, I look forward to your next videos. please don't spare the details!
a lot of houses in Australia have courtyards in the center. I always found them interesting
Australia has some of the best architecture and houses I've ever seen, like from thelocalproject
@@CornerBalanced Florida has homes that are U shaped instead of can atrium they have a patio,BBQ area with a large overhang and a pool all screened in with a cage in the middle of the U shape. They are very nice and great for entertaining.
Any update on the house?
Ok BROTHER!!! Time for some car videos. It’s been too long
I know right!!
Very Creative but very limited in today's standards and not very family or child friendly without making upgrades that will take the older vibe away..It's for a more eclectic mindset..Prices are really high in Cali.. Here on the east coast VA/ NC 2million would get you so much more and in ATL or Buckhead you would have castle.. lol..Good luck..I look forward to seeing the progress...👍🏽
It's different for sure. What about these houses specifically make them unfriendly to families or kids?
@@CornerBalanced it looks more bachelor single man vibe to me..great for entertainment with big open area..lack of privacy with mostly tall windows that the kids stain up and do all kinds of stuff to..I'm hoping for the price some yard or land will be included for a child or children to run..Besides that it looked really creatively designed for its time period and definitely has a lot of art appeal. The over all function and size just is very questionable for me if I was considering it for a long term life with a single Family 3 or 4 ppl....Good luck though..Very exciting content.
@@mg_streetkandi interesting points but I see what you mean. To me, I think it’s fine Lol
@@CornerBalanced as long as you do.. That's all that really counts.. I'm also in Virginia where we get every season so my opinions of the house are slightly different based on weather too. Some think my house is too big..I built my house also..I have 2 Children.. There are thing I'm seeing from my own perspective. As long as your happy dudes that all that is ever gonna matter... Congratulations either way... Building a home is a major accomplishment...👍🏽
@@mg_streetkandi you know the vibes bro
I love the look of these homes, however they are a horror to heat and cool. In the summer you need to crank the AC on full blast and keep all the curtains drawn and then it's still warm in the house. They are very drafty, small bedrooms, very limited closet space, and very little storage areas, and most only have 1 bathroom. I visited someone who owned one as a second home. They had an issue with the coils in the radiant floor heating and the slab concrete floor had to be chopped opened to fix it which would have cost a small fortune. Instead they put in euro splits.
These homes where all built as starter homes. In Palm Springs they were all second homes as it was too hot to live in them during the summer months.
If they could be rebuilt using all 21st century hvac technology with walk in closets in the bedrooms and a laundry room, then I think they wouldbe very popular with the masses.
Agreed on all those points, pitfalls of their vintage and the purpose they intended to serve. I am building a new construction one of these as we speak, with all of the 21st-century advancements in house building technology.
@@CornerBalanced I can't wait to see what you build. I agree with you about euro splits looking ugly on the walls. I have central HVAC with the vents in the ceiling, which allows you to place any thing you want on the floors/ walls and then you can cool the bathrooms and walk in closets. I'm on house #5 and have learned and still learning the hard way on what works best.
Best kitchen is a small u shape, cabinets to the ceiling with draws for pots/pans and all pullout shelves in the cabinets, lots of counter space, open shelving are a no no as they collect dust and clutter. Wall oven, microwave cabinet, farm sink, under the cabinet lights and a built in cook top all make for an efficient clutter free look.
Best bathroom layout is shower and tub opposite sink and toilet. That allows for a glass shower door to swing open with the shower faucet knobs on the opposite wall of the shower head. That way the water temp is easy to set before get in and no water prays out.
From living in NYC I learned solid wood closet doors are king as you can hang anything on the inside to organize and double your closet space. You can also hang stuff on the outside of them as well, but I don't like that cluttered look. Investing money in closet organizers is actually a good investment. I have all my stuff (and I do have stuff) neatly in closets as I hate clutter and love a minimalist look.
Deep roof sofets are another great feature as they keep the rain from coming in when the windows are open and keep the sun from blaring in and keep the house cooler while still letting in plenty of natural light.
I really do hope you post what you're building, because I'd love to see your version of a 21st century mid century modern home.
I'm in the process of decorating my living room mid century modern as I do live in a mid century 1958 split level 3 beds, 2.5 baths. The only thing I don't like about it is the way they placed the 3 stair cases which sucks as it eats up and wastes too much space. I'll be house hunting again next and it will be either a U shaped or L shaped ranch with a pool with no basement.
Is this house gonna be FYEAH spec?
orange ca
Why would anyone ever want to live in Castro Valley?!?! 🤣
when is the house warming
you better be there
A lot of these houses im seeing have a real lack of personality. Their pretty, and the indoor outdoor thing is nice, but its a lot of white on grey
They are more minimal by nature but some implement materiality and contrasts better than others
