Thinking of Eames ... Retro Modern Groove In Newer Designs
I'm really in to the Case Study Houses right now. My favorites are the simple ones like CSH#4 (which never got built) and CSH#21. But the more I think about what I want in a place for my family though, the more I start leaning toward something roomier like the the Eames House, CSH#8. I'm also inspired by the sort of retro vibe at DO Research, which always makes me think of the Eames. And I always really dug the Eames furniture, all of it, in a big way.
This documentary short by the Charles and Ray Eames gives you the spirit of the house:
A lot of recent designs evoke the Eames' groove:
Flatpak House from Lazor Office (images from the Flickr set)
EcoContempo 6030 and 6040 by Lavardera (images from LamiDesign Blog) - Greg, leave us a comment - were you inspired by Eames?
Royal Homes Muskoka Modern (images from Royal Homes site). By the way, nice mudroom. My chief gripe about most modern homes - no good entry for muddy feet. Come to Detroit in February and see what I mean.
I'd have said, "build me a house around this ..."
... but Eames already did. And any one of these three new designs would do the trick too.
