In the San Francisco Bay Area, midcentury modern homes developed by Joseph Eichler are as sought after as a good burrito and a hot start-up idea. Of course, being more than 50 years old, Eichlers often need a bit of attention.
When Andrew and Drewry Wolf got their hands on one, they had to deal with years of wear and tear. In this video, see how the Wolfs restored the double-gable home and its picturesque atrium, creating a space that’s “light, uplifting, natural and peaceful,” Drewry says.
My mother grew up in an Eichler. She loved it, but said her mom cried when they moved in, because she didn’t want to clean all those windows. Grandma ended up loving the home. When we visit Los Angelos - we drive by her childhood home. ♥️
This reno is lovely.
Great Reno, so cool with blend of MCM and modern accommodations
Beautiful! Love the accent pieces. So warm and inviting!
Such a Beautiful Home, so wonderful to see it restored. It's funny to think how the owner described Eichler's philosophy as 'designed so the middle class could afford nice homes' when today an Eichler house is probably very, very expensive.
What a fantastic home! The owners did a great job restoring it!
I'm from Costa Rica and was very fortunate to spend work and vacation time in one if this houses. Amazing and the lines very clean.
It was 14 years ago my last visit. I think that is is located in a street called Fern. And the number of the house 766 un red.
Amazing house with an avocado tree in the back yard and an orange tree in the front yard. I won't forget that house. ❤️
The house is wonderful, yet also the couple are so very warm and humbly poised! Thank you for opening up your lovely home!
Beautiful job on the house. Previous owner would have been so proud to see this restoration. This is work of love, a delicate balance of bringing the home to modern standards while retaining the footprint of an Eichler home.
I love that atrium idea. It's a room within the home, however it's outside. These Eichlers are the coolest thing I have ever seen.
Beautiful and peaceful home. My favourite area is the atrium with the maple tree. Absolutely gorgeous. I want one as well. Kudos to the designers.
Gorgeous, one of the two most beautiful Eichlers I've seen. I lived in one in 1980, it was still original which isn't as luxurious. But the windows are always stunning, I love bringing the outside in.
Beautiful home. The 1605 is my favorite Eichler model. I really would have tried to keep the natural wood ceilings, though. That is one of the key features of MCM architecture & design, in my opinion. Again, fabulous job!
Such an amazingly beautiful home. Love the renovation. One day I'd love to purchase an Eichler for my family.
Beautiful- love that atrium especially lol. So much light too which I agree - is good for the soul
Simply a stunning home. It's nice to see homes with this much style and design in america.
The Atrium is wonderful. Like a zen garden.
Beautifully executed. Congratulations on a really sensitive, intimate yet openly dramatic treasure.
what an amazing home! i love that mobile/ kinetic sculpture with red dots hanging from the ceiling! and that atrium! omgggg
love the wooden artwall hanging above the fire place!
Love this Couple; and the Home they Created / restored!
Beautiful remodel. Tasteful and respectful to the intent of the Architect.
I've always wanted to have a tree inside my house😍
love the chalkboard in the child's bedroom.
Stunning......just stunning!
Lovely, I have seen in Sunnyvale and one in Palo Alto. These are now multi-million dollar houses, :)
I love Eichler homes. That would be my dream home.
This is my dream home! I LOVE everything about it! ❤️❤️
That room divider is a winner. Wonderful.
What a nice feeling to live outdoor indoor living
Nice remodeling of this house! Even though I don't really care for mid-century modern designs, this house does bring the outdoors in for sure.
So peaceful, sleek and gorgeous.
Wonderful job restoring this house! As we glimpsed a bit, there would have been much less white in the original finishes. Exposed wood ceilings and waxed plywood veneer on the walls were the norm. It's lovely what you did with the mahogany screen.
This house is stunning!
Oh my gosh. I’ve saved tons of pics of your house in my Houzz idea book! So glad to learn more about it! It’s a beautiful renovation!
the atrium and that mobile ugh. this home is awesome!!
...ah you can also say, YOU live in MY dream home. As in, " I can honestly say I live in my and B's dream home". Well done you two! Well done.
Absolutely gorgeous
I love these homes.
I love Eichler Homes. Too bad there are only a few hundred here in Southern California. This is my favorite Eichler design. The A frame in the middle with the flat roof on the sides. The atrium is what I love and It's the perfect design for me. The only issue I have is I wish this design came with a double car garage. The carport is great but I would like a place to lock up my cars at night and I would like to have a garage workbench.
Just love it! Great job, great house. Wonderful you took the time to restore the house. Thanx for sharing.
Beautiful Restoration.
They did a great job on bringing it up to today's standards I wish Eichler built more homes in Southern California.
i love the sculptures you chose!
what a wonderful house i love to see.
Wonderful.
I got into a comment war with someone who groused that FLWright’s work was often “unlivable.” I replied that Wright (and all other architects worthy of the title) would always say that beauty is often not fully utilitarian.
One of my professors in design school said “when you design a pillow with angles get back to me! Until then, learn.”
Awesome home. Not too big to manage and great outdoor space.
Thanks for sharing your nice home
This is what my dream house will look like
Beautiful done!
Good job, you guys. It's gorgeous.
This is the house I want to live in when I get old.
Very beautiful!
with every indoor-outdoor house video, I always think: what happens when it rains? 😂
Since the place the tree is standing on has rocks instead of the floor that's used throughout the building so I think that acts as the drainage
Frank Tiemens No, I meant how do you keep the entire place dry? It is an indoor-outdoor house after all. Wouldn't it make the entire place humid?
I wonder what it would cost to recreate this home today as new construction not to buy and remodel. Of course here in the southern part of Florida where I live I am pretty sure a flat roof would not meet hurricane code.
One of the best houses I ever seen
This is beautiful good job!!! but honestly some of those human statues would freak me out especially while I'm trying to sleep seeing in them in the night :0
Absolutely stunning. I want one!
Amazing house 💖
Breathtaking
Simply my favorite 👌🏾
Amazing job!! Wow!
lovely home!
Beautiful house! Too bad you had to paint over that wood on the ceiling bit I probably would have done the same.
I like it. My only concern is heating and cooling a building with that much glass. They did not say, but I assume that they replaced all the glazing with dual pane glass.
Evan modern dual panes leak a lot of heat, so they would gain some efficiency, but it will never be as tight as a normal house.
Wow I love this!!!!! My idea of the perfect home.
May I be so lucky to get to live in somerhing similar 💓
i'm dying to do a native landscape for a really nice eichler. i've worked on a few nice ones, but i have some ideas i think are going to blow it away!
Dream home!
Stunning
Love it.
Video's too short! Beautiful home.
Gorgeous
my fav part os the little courtyard
Dream house❤️
I love it
love it!!!
lovely.
wow beautiful
Wonderful revival blessings 360
Very nice, I do see the similarities to a FLW designed home.
Love
The tile job is nice …. but buffing the original concrete floor would have been better . More minimalist and authentic !
I think credit should be given to the architects. Eichler was the developer. I believe this was a Jones/Emmons design?
I looked out of the corner of my eye at 0:48 and thought there was someone in a bathtub. Then I realized it was a statue head on a white buffet. 😆
The red phone...oh yes!
I love it!
Wow I feel like I'm living in nature right now
my dream house
I’m soo tired of the gray though 😕
Beautiful home! Can anyone tell me where to find those chairs at 1:20? or the name of that style of chair pleeeeease! I'm obsessed
My god, fucking beautiful
I love the sculptures that are featured throughout the house. Who is the artist(s)?
the first one I saw startled me a bit. looked like a person had just been lopped off at the shoulders. LOL
We are planning to renovate next year... how much cost approximately for this kind of modern look not Art designs and stuff but rest. If u can let me know that would be great help. Thank you!! It’s beautiful!!
Lovely. =)
I love the house but its need more color on the walls.
Really beautiful designed house except for the human bust sculptures all over the house. They were a bit spooky.
why the chopped off people tho
What's the spinning orange circles outside?
Wow
Absolutely gorgeous! How many square feet?
