Link – Eichler homes are from a branch of Modernist architecture that has come to be known as “California Modern,” and typically feature glass walls, post-and-beam construction and open floorplans in a style indebted to Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright. Eichler exteriors featured flat or low-sloping roofs, vertical siding, and spartan facades with geometric lines. One of Eichler’s signature concepts was to “Bring the Outside In,” achieved via skylights and floor-to-ceiling glass windows looking out on protected gardens, patios, and pools. The homes had numerous unorthodox features, including post-and-beam construction, concrete slab floors with integral radiant heating, sliding doors and cabinets, and a standard second bathroom. Later models introduced the famous Eichler atriums, an entrance foyer designed to further advance the Eichler concept of integrating outdoor and indoor spaces.

I’ve got a few projects going right now, hopefully all will come to conclusion soon.  Here’s a little look at one.

With a few more tweaks, and a final swap, I can kick this project out of my to do list.  This will soon reside @ http://www.haberdashvintage.com.

And also…

With a 3rd to come.

Well, it seems as though I don’t update this quite as much as I’d like to.  I’d like to take this time in lull, to transition this blog into more of a design oriented function.  It’s just more of what I’m interested in, and its about 90% of what I spend my time doing and thinking about.  So I’m going to start transitioning this into a work blog, bringing some of my projects into a public forum, for insight on how I work.

Road House is one of the greatest films in the last 20 years.  Today my blog is in tribute to Patrick Swayze.

He’s just so damn good as Daulton.
