Boyenga Homes

Eichler houses are from a branch of Modernist architecture that has come to be known as "California Modern." Eichler's have numerous unorthodox and innovative features. The home exteriors feature flat and/or low-sloping A-framed roofs, vertical 2" pattern wood siding. Eichler house features include post-and-beam construction, tongue and groove decking for the roof, concrete slab floors with integral radiant heating, sliding doors and cabinets with sliding doors, and a standard second bathroom located in the master bedroom. Later models introduced the famous Eichler atriums, an entrance foyer designed to further advance the Eichler concept of integrating outdoor and indoor spaces. Eichler homes are airy and modern in comparison to most of the mass-produced, middle-class, postwar homes being built in the 1950s.
