THIS 1966 HOME WAS DESIGNED BY AARON GREEN—A PROTÉGÉ OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT—AND CUSTOM BUILT BY EICHLER HOMES. “THE ROOF HERE IS A BIT UNEXPECTED,” NOTES PHOTOGRAPHER DAVID EICHLER, GRANDSON OF JOSEPH EICHLER. “IT’S A DISTINCTIVE FEATURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPRESENTED. I CAN’T RECALL EVER SEEING SOMETHING SIMILAR IN OTHER HOMES, THOUGH IT REMINDS ME OF THINGS I’VE SEEN IN FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT’S WORK. BUT GREEN, AS AN ACOLYTE, AND WRIGHT BOTH TENDED TO DO THINGS THAT WERE NOT AT RIGHT ANGLES.”

CONCRETE BLOCKS SURROUND THE POURED CONCRETE MANTEL, CREATING AN INTRIGUING MIX OF TEXTURES. THE FURNITURE AND FIXTURES WERE CUSTOM CRAFTED FOR THE HOME.
Like elegant lines arcing across a blueprint, the story of this home intersects with three of the biggest names in 20th-century American architecture and building: Frank Lloyd Wright, Aaron Green and Joseph Eichler.
