A Double A-Frame Eichler in the Bay Area Asks $925K
Built in 1964 by A. Quincy Jones—an iconic midcentury architect responsible for the design of thousands of Eichler homes—the residence features over 2,000 square feet of open-plan living space and is full of midcentury character with a spacious atrium, clean lines, wood paneling, walls of glass, and globe pendant lighting.
The home has undergone some changes to suit the modern family: a wall was eliminated to open up what was previously the smallest bedroom, and the space adjacent to the kitchen was expanded to create a larger den. Expansive glazing brings the outdoors in, and the great room features soaring, tongue-and-groove ceilings that create a dramatic and airy living space.

The entry to the double A-frame model showcases the home's post-and-beam construction.
Standing in the entry, the double A-frames are clearly visible. Here is a look at the second A-frame towards the back of the house.
The home's nature-filled center atrium embodies the indoor/outdoor ideal.
Two walls of glass frame the atrium, filling the home with natural light and a strong sense of the outdoors.
