This 1958 residence located in Marin County was commissioned by Joseph Eichler, home builder, developer and social visionary. Featured on the May 2005 cover of California Home and Design, the residence was in various states of disrepair when purchased. Original finishes had been compromised and the landscaping abandoned. The post and beam construction, extensive use of glass, and tongue and groove ceilings were still intact however. Eclectic interior finishes installed over time were replaced with simple painted surfaces, and demolition of added walls returned the residence to its original open plan representative of “California Modern”.
