Eichler homes are more than mid-century modern icons—they are highly engineered living environments where light, structure, climate, and spatial flow operate in harmony. By using advanced, tech-forward valuation metrics, we can quantify the design elements that make these homes so extraordinary. Orientation, glazing ratios, atrium geometry, thermal envelope integrity, and structural grid alignment all directly shape comfort, efficiency, and market desirability.
