In the second of our three-part Effortlessly Modern video series with Chamberlain, we explore The Simple Home, a renovated Eichler Home in San Rafael, California.
Ya they always focus on the designer couple or architect couple, of course we know that they can make a good looking house its their job- so why are u showing us them and not the house
House numbers are beautifully shaped art on their own. Very cool. Nice to see sane people embracing that. Lucky to get them for your address. It is also nice to see 13th floors appearing in newer towers.
Dwell, it would be great if you provided more info on these houses, such as, how big, special features, cost or things that save money besides it looking lovely.
I lived in a home in Sarasota Florida that was designed by a friend of mine.....in the mid 1960's.....very simple plan...all glass and wood and cider bricks.....elegant but modernistic classic design....it was my favorite place that I lived at....much like what you have there...really enjoyed the tour....
From what I saw of the garded it was FANTASTIC a very condensed version of a much bigger garden but they kept the size relationships PERFECTLY If you have a small garden you must watch this again it is BRILLIANT.
omgosh! I actually recognized the neigborhood! I grew up in that county! but right after I thought I knew it, I asked myself 'what are the odds??' since so many locales in California - and even in pockets around the nation - are very similar in appearance. so imagine my delight that it turned out to be, truly, a familiar place!🤗 and they did a lovely job, updating their home - the few parts we could see, anyway. and how lucky they are to have a nice sized lot with such a spacious backyard..really nice landscaping back there, too!🌿🌼🙂👸🏾
We are currently renovating a mid-century and have some of the same features. I love the idea of the pond being elevated. Ours is currently just in-ground but after seeing this we both agree elevating it is a great idea.
It’s fun to see you don’t have to be rich to find and remodel a home. It can be done economically and in ways that enrich the indoor/outdoor connection, and that freshen interior surfaces and furnishings. Nice work. Nice home.
This was great. We too live in an Eichler and we love it. Ours even has a heated pool with a diving board (original from 1960!!) with a working pool light! It's wonderful. We're lucky and happy in ours too. Cheers!
oh cool lucky guy...i like the atrium style because it had a open courtyard in the middle of the house you can open just about every room up to this space & its still secure.
Yea we love it. I'm inside/outside in our atrium typing this now. One thing I will say is window cleaning can be a pain. We have 18 floor to ceiling windows and it's a bit of a chore to clean them all (inside and out). That being said, it's a minor inconvenience considering the benefits of being here.
Melvin Hale Hello my friend... what type of apt. do you reside in? what kind of an apt. is a Echelon Apt.?' Not trying to be facetious; just wanting to learn something new. Thanks
I utterly love this house! So easy to maintain and keep clean. No need to hire any help. If I drove by here I would stop in my tracks, write a letter and drop it in their mailbox, begging this family for a tour in their free time. I'll make an apple pie too.
There are many Eichlers here in this area San Rafael, they are considered historical. Look them up, the outdoors is part of the house, some surround an outside area, some open on one side. They are fun to learn about if houses are something you like to look at.
I've been an actor in San Rafael. It was in Lucas Valley. Back in the day one of our nearby neighbors was Jim Lange the host of the then famous TV show The Dating Game!
Beautifull design of everything, I like the inside, distribuiton, colours and materials and outside the garden. Also entrance from the street. Modern and cosy. Well done. Enjoy!
The people here who commented on not getting a full tour of the house have never visited an authentic Mid-Century Modern home, especially an Eichler home like this. The film showed everything except the bedrooms and baths. The magic of a MCM was conveyed.
Such an amazing project, showing how architecturing can be simple yet amazing, lovely parents molding their lives around the well being of the daughter ... but all people comment about is the # of the house.... some people are just screwed-up
@Metal Head i'll prove it to you sir, your belief will turn around with the succeeding events that will eventually happen in your life leading to JESUS CHRIST,amen - hoping for your enlightenment
6 is actually considered as number of prosperity and flow of luck in some different culture around the world. Get over it, people. The house is lovely!
This is where I grew up. The best of all worlds. A small subdivision of homes with plenty of other kids to play with, walk to school, surrounded by wide open space. Miles of hills, creeks with Steelhead trout, but yes there was poison Oak. Eichler homes are heavily influenced by Frank Loyd Wright. Claude Oakland who Apprenticed under Mr Wright was one of Mr. Eichler's Architects. Over the years these homes have developed a "sorta" cult like following.
We saw the bones of the house were brutal, we knew that was a good start. We threw in some high volume design, kicked down a couple walls, added some double bass drum, and now this house is so fucking metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A very nice home the simplicity is what makes it a classic mid century modern home ....and i have a friend that lives in an apt. complex her apt.building is 666 and it doesn't seem to bother her or the many tenants that call it home .
Adrian Saxson In Chinese culture the number 6 is considered very lucky so having multiples would make that address especially blessed with good fortune
666 It's just the number of the house. Doesn't mean anything! Just a number. I liked of this house! So simple but very organized all the structure. Cool! ☺🤙
Hello from Moscow. Very nice couple and a wonderful little daughter. They live in peace and inner harmony. The interior in the style of the elegant simplicity. If it's not difficult, give us a link to the plan of the house and other photos, because I'm planning to build a similar house in my country. I hope that special double-glazed windows with inert gases will reduce heat loss in our northern climate. Thank you in advance P.S. So many stupid comments about the house number and the absolute inadmissible remark about the wife.
Amazing that we live in the 21st century, and people still comment about three sixes in a row as if it should mean something... Great house by the way!
I got hung up on that 666 right away. I was laughing inside the whole way through.
same lol
Same here. If they can skip the 13th floor in hotels, they can skip this number
Are you all saying that this is the house of the beast?
I would love to have seen the home instead of just focusing on the couple sitting on their couch!
Exactly😹
Bang on.
You are evil... that is a beautiful family to look at either way! 🙀🙀🙀
Ya they always focus on the designer couple or architect couple, of course we know that they can make a good looking house its their job- so why are u showing us them and not the house
You tell em Jamie
It looks like a beautiful house. If only we could have seen it!
Barely any visuals of the home in this video, just them talking
This is a stupid tech. Ripping off stupid customers for easily available tech
dwell always does that bullshit.
Beautiful house..the bungalow of the beast.
I think this is probably very nice, but you didn't show enough of the inside to get an idea of what it is really like.
🤣😂🤣
House numbers are beautifully shaped art on their own. Very cool. Nice to see sane people embracing that. Lucky to get them for your address. It is also nice to see 13th floors appearing in newer towers.
Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication.
Love, patience and simplicity
are the 3 greatest treasures of mankind.
Simple is beautiful.

Yea like how many animals have been Sacrifice, and when the devil comes to visit on holidays??? You know normal stuff lol😂😂😂😎

Nice video of couple on couch. Fascinating.

You both nailed it. You’ve created a stunning example of simple living. From Australia, congratulations 👍😁🇦🇺

what kind of Eichler. im crazy for the "atrium" Eichlers
We have an open atrium in ours. I believe all of them had this. If I'm not mistaken, it's a hallmark of the design.
oh cool lucky guy...i like the atrium style because

Love this House. I could watch this vid forever......... I'd live there.
I guess beauty really is in the eyes of the beholder.... woof

Gorgeous!
That house is what my dream house looks like!
I really like their design. They seem like a really nice down to earth family as well. Thumbs up.
Lovely house + Lovely family = great life

Nice house, I would like to of seen it in a little more detail than was shown here!
Liber 8 the devil is in the details. lol in this case literally
Liber 8 try Eichler house search
Liber 8 I know right!
Very nicely restored house. They've done a fine job bringing it back to life.
I've been an actor in San Rafael. It was in Lucas Valley. Back in the day one of our nearby neighbors was Jim Lange the host of the then famous TV show The Dating Game!
absolutely beautiful minds, put together can bring out such a stunning home idea. LOVE THE SIMPLICITY! thankyou
I love everything about this home.
Eichler homes are all over Marin, a small development of them in Sleepy Hallow (San Anselmo) - lovely bones of open space simple living.
Beautifull design of everything, I like the inside, distribuiton, colours and materials and outside the garden. Also entrance from the street. Modern and cosy. Well done. Enjoy!
What colors?
Hi Dwell - Your Video Effortlessly Modern The Simple Home, very suitable to be applied in my house
The people here who commented on not getting a full tour of the house have never visited an authentic Mid-Century Modern home, especially an Eichler home like this. The film showed everything except the bedrooms and baths. The magic of a MCM was conveyed.
Such an amazing project, showing how architecturing can be simple yet amazing, lovely parents molding their lives around the well being of the daughter ... but all people comment about is the # of the house.... some people are just screwed-up
beautiful house!! love the backyard
what a darling family and a beautiful home. so jealous!
but bummer about house number. bet they got it for a good price though.
Sarah S Eye roll
What a wonderful privileged life this family lives. This property is probably worth at least 2.5 million.
Neutra comes to mind along with others of the modernist. I suggest a visit to Claremont ca. To see more homes along these lines.
Neutra 🤣
Simple is not easy... great home!
The address is a bit scary, but obviously love, that always overcomes evil was brought in by the family. Beautiful sensible home.
666. Now that's something to dwell on...
I thought i was the only one who saw the 666 till i read your comment.
exactly what i saw
@Metal Head GOD is real, you don't have to conclude, read the bible and let the holy spirit show you,peace man
@Metal Head i'll prove it to you sir, your belief will turn around with the succeeding events that will eventually happen in your life leading to JESUS CHRIST,amen - hoping for your enlightenment
@Metal Head Everything you said makes perfect sense, Metal Head. I'm with you. Thanks for standing up for reality.
Gorgeous in it's simplicity!!!
6 is actually considered as number of prosperity and flow of luck in some different culture around the world. Get over it, people. The house is lovely!
It's cool when you glance at it, then becomes boring when you keep looking at it.
OK i'd totally ask the city to zone me a DIFFERENT ADDRESS NUMBER OMG
Yeah like 665B or 667A lol
Jekku 😂😂

I like the house design. simple and modern.
Looks cool.... from what I could see. I love love love the backyard!
Simple and beautiful ...
We saw the bones of the house were brutal, we knew that was a good start. We threw in some high volume design, kicked down a couple walls, added some double bass drum, and now this house is so fucking metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are so happy
Very pactical and clean look. Easy to see. Best.
I'm dwelling on the fact that this was so undwell.
A very nice home the simplicity is what makes it a classic mid century modern home ....and i have a friend that lives in an apt. complex her apt.building is 666 and it doesn't seem to bother her or the many tenants that call it home .

Love your house!!
Your dog very happy. 🐶
beautiful their family history but I am more interested in the house
75% of the comments are about the house number lmao
You mean the address lol
Luke Schwindt yes.
Peaceful......thank you for sharing.
Love this home!
666 It's just the number of the house. Doesn't mean anything! Just a number. I liked of this house! So simple but very organized all the structure. Cool! ☺🤙

Beautifull familly and house!!
Congratulations you look very happy. ..long life
Love the outside architecture

I need a floor plan for this house
Hello from Moscow.
Very nice couple and a wonderful little daughter. They live in peace and inner harmony.
The interior in the style of the elegant simplicity.
If it's not difficult, give us a link to the plan of the house and other photos, because I'm planning to build a similar house in my country. I hope that special double-glazed windows with inert gases will reduce heat loss in our northern climate.
Thank you in advance
P.S. So many stupid comments about the house number and the absolute inadmissible remark about the wife.
barely even showed the house! derp
Maybe because there was really nothing to show.
These houses we built for "all" races, not only white.ichler made that clear.respect the meaning of what he did.
Beautiful!
What a beautiful home 🌻
I wish they would have showed the house more, especially the bedrooms and bathroom
Love it, it's beautiful!
aye son yo address 666 dont act like you aint sacrificing children in the home.
u crazy lol but i wouldn't move there even if they paid me... that number is not good luck
@@batboy3746 Or in case other ppls kids start acting strange, if you know what i mean lol
Ben Poopoker I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ben Poopoker simple cleans lines.... Of sacrificial virgins to the dark lord
Dwell offers nice cozy elegant affordable romantic tree houses all over the world....
Yeah a simple house with a not-so-simple price tag no doubt!!
simple but warm
Nice, simple and beautiful, love it. 😁
Amazing that we live in the 21st century, and people still comment about three sixes in a row as if it should mean something... Great house by the way!
Many engineers and architects will also skip the number 13 if building a high-rise. Not so unusual.
You're easily amazed.
Image that. The Bible is STILL relative even in a world full of Atheists.
Half MT I think u mean relevant 😹
21 century is just a number.
A rider! Nice.
Wow I just realized the shirt the little girl is wearing was my favorite shirt when I was little
I loved the house, garden and your beautiful family :) This concept of a house is very inteligent.
Congrats family, big kiss
simplicity in design
Nice job
This hOMe is everything. 💞
I 💗everything about this.
Pure beauty of a gem lifestyle in
San Rafael.
Thanks for sharing the love of your hOMe.
is that a Ducati motorcycle @ 2:05
house is perfect :)
Beautiful Home 😍😊
Seems a nice house but difficult to tell really because of the poor video editing...
Lovely space
Nice home
It's a great feeling
It's very similar in design to an Eichler
What's the house look like? We got a great look at you two.
Beautiful
Was this house in a horror movie starring Keane Reeves? The entrance and hallway look soooooo similar. Beautiful house
Such a beautiful and simple home. You just brought my dream home into reality. Thanks a lot guys. :-)
