Description
Exterior view of wooden walking path along one side of the Eames House, designed by Ray and Charles Eames as part of the Case Study House Program started by John Entenza. "The design is modular, highlighting its industrial nature, and the structure of the buildings is abundantly evident. But the house’s interior is anything but rigid and cold ... Clad in warm woods and packed with custom-designed furniture, plants, and folk art, the inside of the house illustrates how inviting Modern design can be ... The two-story-high living area feels like a treehouse, lit with natural sunlight dappled by the eucalyptus trees outside,"--Los Angeles Conservancy website.
