While its facade?an utterly satisfying composition of geometry and color?and dreamy midcentury interior are widely admired, the magic of the residence goes beyond the structure itself.
Any visitor to the house will immediately notice the property?s more than 200 eucalyptus trees, which are as intimately intertwined with the Eames House experience as it gets. In fact, an initial proposal to build a house across the site was abandoned after the Eameses fell in love with the landscape. They proceeded to design the Eames House as we know it, and avoided destroying the trees and the meadow. The trees also create a multisensory experience. Speaking with Curbed, Lucia Dewey Atwood, a granddaughter of the Eameses and director of the Eames Foundation?s conservation project, recalled seeing Ray come out of the car, inhaling the eucalyptus scent, and just ?sparkle?. And now, with the foundation?s latest initiative, design fans can capture a bit of that bliss for themselves.
