Built in harmony with Nature, Charles and Ray's most famous structure is Case Study House No. 8, also known as the #EamesHouse. As Charles once said, "The house would make no demands for itself and would serve as a background for life in work, with nature as a shock absorber.” ⠀ ⠀ The couple moved in on Christmas Eve, 1949, and lived there for the rest of their lives. Without a doubt, it’s a model of how to create a home with inexpensive, off-the-shelf industrial parts. No one had ever heard of such a concept before the inception of the Case Study House Program sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine. The program encouraged participates to design affordable houses for post-World War II families using “new materials and new techniques in house construction.”
