About The Wonderful "Eichler Homes"
Joseph Eichler (1900-1974) was an influential real estate
developer working in both the Bay Area and Greater Los Angeles. His
tract homes were considerably different from other competitors; with
a sleek, Mid-Century Modern design, "Eichlers", as they became
known, offered access to high-art architecture normally reserved for
corporate headquarters and custom-built houses. These homes are
bright and airy, and have come to represent the archetypical
"Mid-Century" Lifestyle.
A Word on Architect Cliff May
When one imagines a Mid-Century Southern California 'Ranch' home,
Cliff May's (1909 - 1989) groundbreaking designs quickly come to
mind. Born and raised in San Diego, May came from a well-established
California Spanish family. His work reflects a connection to the
area; his homes take full advantage of the ample California sun
through the use of floor-to-ceiling windows and open floorplans. The
division between indoors and out simply disappears in a Cliff
May-designed home -- and the architect wouldn't have it any other
way. Drawing from his Spanish heritage, May also instilled a sense
of family connection through his Ranch-house floorplans;
life was centered around a common living area that was easily
accessible from any room. May's influence on today's architecture is
still resoundingly present, and his original homes retail
for very sizable sums.
