They typically feature glass walls, post-and-beam construction, and open floorplans, a style popularized by visionaries like Frank Lloyd Wright. Joseph Eichler's signature concept was to "bring the outside in," achieved via skylights and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on private outdoor rooms, patios, atriums, and gardens. These homes, often single-story with low-sloping roofs and clean lines, offered airy, modern living in stark contrast to most mass-produced post-war houses of the 1950s."
