Post-Modern homes For Sale In Orange, CA

The 1960's and post modern homes in Orange Ca 

Eichler Homes For Sale in Orange Ca

Post modern homes and Joseph Eichler came together in the City of Orange around the 1960's. These homes have generated an almost cult like following with home owner's treating their homes like pieces of art or maybe a classic car.  The concept of the home was to bring the outside in and the first thing one will notice is the ample use of windows and simple floor plan.  

Joseph Eichler used well-known architects to design both the site plans and the homes and the first prototypes were built in 1949. 

Eichler's design came from a branch of Modernist Architecture which later became known as "California Modern".  This consisted primarily of post-and-beam construction with glass walls.  Eichler's home exteriors featured low sloping roofs and wood paneling with a 2" vertical pattern wood siding creating the sparse facades and clean lines synonymous with Eichler.

The interior was an open floor plan concept featuring many sliding doors and concrete slab floors.  The floors were outfitted with radiant heating through the use of heated water lines in the floor.  There was and extensive use of wood paneling in the home as well.  

Eichler created a very different home for those who had not long ago returned home from the war and most were comfortable with the typical boxy and segmented homes of the 30's. These post-modern homes first met with great resistance from home buyers and never were a source of great profit for Eichler.

Homes in Old Towne Orange For Sale

This is no longer the case here in Orange.  Typically if you ask someone where do they live, they might tell you the Street name or maybe an area of town .  Such as, "I live in Old Towne" or "I live in OPA".  But if you ask someone who own's one of these special homes, the will immediately tell you they live in and Eichler.  Don't be surprised if they offer you a tour of there home while you are there.  Most do.
