Californian design studio Gustave Carlson Design was tapped to renovate an Eichler house that was originally built in 1971 and located in the Palo Alto hills. It was a custom commission by John S. Lynd, who is a close friend of Joseph Eichler. It is now home to a family that owns a large art collection. The renovation retains elements of the original design whilst also adapting to a more contemporary look.
Carlson explains that “An ‘Eichler’ captures the word optimism in built form. These airy, light-filled, and human scale structures convey the promise of the post-World War ll era, as well as Joseph Eichler’s philosophy on domestic life, and the ability of modern design to enhance our quality of life.”
