The Team Behind the Magic of Balboa Highlands
The Eichler phenomenon
could not have happened without a tremendous amount of
teamwork by some very talented people. Aligning himself
with a stable of progressive, empathic architects - first
the San Francisco firm of Anshen & Allen, then Jones
& Emmons in Los Angeles, and later Claude Oakland
also from the Bay area- Eichler realized his dream, styled
with imagination. As regional architecture designed for
the Bay Area's benign climate, their house designs befuddled
the traditional masses. They emphasized boldness, change,
and optimism through indoor-outdoor living, walls of glass,
atriums, and radiant-heat floors in earlier models.
They included under-floor forced air and heat in later models found in Southern California.
