DIY All-Stars! A Family Rolls Up Their Sleeves and Restores an Eichler
Over the last three years, a couple restored their midcentury home almost entirely with their own hands.
Built by Joseph Eichler, the home was designed by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons. While bringing the home back to its former glory, the family with two children also made some modern updates. Materials original to classic Eichler homes such as interior wood paneling, aluminum sliding doors, glass walls, and VCT flooring were restored, and other original spaces like an open atrium were maintained.
