Eames House
The Eames House, Case Study House #8, was one of 25 homes built as part of The Case Study House Program. Charles and Ray proposed that the home they designed would be for a married couple who were basically apartment dwellers working in design and graphic arts, and who wanted a home that would make no demands for itself, but would, instead serve as a background for as Charles would say, "life in work" with nature as a "shock absorber."
The first plan of their home, known as the Bridge House, was designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen in 1945. Charles and Ray moved into the House on Christmas Eve, 1949, and lived here for the rest of their lives. The interior, its objects and its collections remain very much the way they were in Charles and Ray's lifetimes. The house they created offered them a space where work, play, life, and nature co-existed.
