Eichler Homes exteriors featured flat and/or low-sloping A-Framed roofs, vertical 2-inch pattern wood siding, and spartan facades with clean geometric lines. One of Eichler’s signature concepts was to “Bring the Outside In,” achieved via <span class="mw-redirect">skylights</span> and floor-to-ceiling glass windows with glass transoms looking out on protected and private outdoor rooms, patios, atriums, gardens, and swimming pools. Also of note is that most Eichler homes feature few, if any, front-facing (that is, street-facing) windows, with those that do exist being either small ceiling level windows or small rectangular windows with frosted glass which is contrary to most other architectural designs which have almost all front rooms featuring large windows.</p> <p>Source: en.wikipedia.org</p> </blockquote>http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/43663359205http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/43663359205Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:26:36 -0500eichler<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6803770500cd9d9f05f8400170c3bd08/tumblr_mhvj3xiLAH1s59u81o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>In love with the landscape | Eichler</p>http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/43663156250http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/43663156250Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:23:36 -0500eichler<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/daf4c31a121ef6643481296d407e0e11/tumblr_mik93ibviD1qd1v3ao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Eichler in Marin county</p>http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/43633763100http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/43633763100Thu, 21 Feb 2013 03:04:30 -0500eichler<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/091aa4b620b62d5a549dadc827d45922/tumblr_mik8xqPpl51qd1v3ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Eichler love</p>http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/43633660529http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/43633660529Thu, 21 Feb 2013 03:01:02 -0500eichler<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqg5s05sRx1qd1v3ao1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/9342504881http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/9342504881Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:21:36 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqg5r9b6kO1qd1v3ao1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/9342489948http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/9342489948Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:21:09 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq1g313uHr1qd1v3ao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>George Nelson Sunburst Clock in Walnut</p> <p><a href="http://www.nova68.com">Nova68</a></p>http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/9008678838http://nheimstra.tumblr.com/post/9008678838Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:40:13 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lq17maFZTI1qd1v3ao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Making some prints for my house.
