Eichler X-100 Family Room: The Social Core of a Modernist Vision
The family room in the Eichler X-100 is where the home truly comes alive—a space designed not just for gathering, but for experiencing architecture in motion. Created by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons for Joseph Eichler, it embodies the ideal balance between openness, comfort, and innovation.
A Structure That Disappears
At first glance, the room feels effortlessly open—but that freedom is the result of the X-100’s steel-frame construction, which eliminates the need for interior support walls. This allows the family room to function as a true uninterrupted volume, seamlessly connected to adjacent spaces.
The structure is still present—expressed through subtle steel elements—but it never interrupts the flow.
Light-Filled and Ever-Changing
The family room is bathed in natural light from every direction:
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls bring in expansive views and daylight
Overhead skylights soften and diffuse light across the space
Reflections from surrounding surfaces create a gentle, dynamic glow
From morning to evening, the room shifts in tone and atmosphere, making it feel alive and responsive.
Living Without Boundaries
One of the defining qualities of the family room is its ability to blur boundaries. Large sliding glass panels open directly to the outdoors, transforming the space into an indoor-outdoor pavilion.
Whether open or closed, the connection to nature is constant—air, light, and landscape are always part of the experience.
Designed for Everyday Life
Unlike more formal living spaces, the family room is grounded in functionality. It’s where:
Conversations happen naturally
Daily routines unfold
Relaxation and connection take center stage
The openness allows for flexibility—furniture arrangements, uses, and moods can evolve without constraint.
Views That Extend Through the Home
From this space, sightlines stretch across the home—often landing on interior gardens or atriums. This creates a layered visual experience where multiple zones are always in dialogue with one another.
The effect is subtle but powerful:
you are always aware of the entire home, not just the room you’re in.
The Essence of Eichler Living
The family room captures what made Eichler homes revolutionary—a focus on how people actually live. It’s not about formality or separation, but about connection, openness, and ease.
In the X-100, that idea is pushed to its highest level—creating a space that feels as relevant today as it did in 1956. image Sabrina Huang

Leather Description: A fully drum dyed top grain cowhide on European raw material. This leather is lightly ironed and then milled extensively for a unique distressed appearance. This is a natural full grain leather. The hides have not been altered in any way during the tanning process. Shade variation is normal and areas of hides absorb dyes differently, so natural dye lot variations will occur. Remember that a swatch is a general representation of the leather's color and texture, not an exact match. Scars, marks, and branding are not flaws but rather are proof of authenticity, what we call "hallmarks of the trail". Leathers will fade if exposed to direct sunlight. This is a pull up leather which means color diffusion and "burst" will occur when worked by hand. If any of these characteristics is a problem please consider a "painted" leather. One that has been corrected and heavily pigmented.
100% top grain cowhide leather is characterized by variations in shade, texture, color and grain. Healed marks and scars are to be expected and enhance the natural beauty of the hides. These variations should not be considered defects as they are normal and unique features of genuine 100% top grain cowhide leather.
Frame Construction: Made with American Alder Wood, our frames are glued, screwed and dowelled at the joints. Two coats of high quality stain is hand rubbed on the wood finish and then sealed with industrial grade clear coat.

Here is how you can transform your basement into a rustic western saloon:
The Bar:
Reclaimed Wood: Opt for a bar built with reclaimed wood for a truly rustic look. The wood will have natural imperfections and a weathered finish that exudes a Wild West charm. You can go for a classic straight bar design or a U-shaped one to create a more intimate space.
Stone Accents: To add a touch of sophistication, consider incorporating a stone slab for the bar top. Look for natural stones like granite or soapstone with earthy tones that complement the reclaimed wood.
Metal Accents: Wrought iron or hammered copper add a touch of western flair. You can use these materials for the bar footrest, cabinet hardware, or even light fixtures.
Seating and Tables:
Bar stools: Choose bar stools with leather seats and weathered wood frames. Look for details like nailhead trim or fringe accents to tie into the western theme.
High-top tables: A couple of high-top tables with a similar rustic aesthetic can provide additional seating and space for playing cards or board games.
Flooring and Walls:
Wood Floors: Reclaimed or distressed wood flooring throughout the basement will continue the rustic feel.
Stone Tiles: Alternatively, for high-traffic areas, consider stone tiles that resemble natural flagstone or slate.
Lighting and Ambiance:
Warm Lighting: Aim for warm and inviting lighting. Wall-mounted sconces with iron fixtures will create a soft, diffused glow.
Western Decor: Spruce up the space with western-themed décor. Wild west artwork or wall hangings, vintage cowboy photographs, or wagon wheel chandeliers all add a touch of personality.
Rugs: Area rugs with southwestern patterns or Native American designs can add pops of color and texture to the space.
Don't forget the details:
Barware: Invest in a rustic barware set. Look for glasses and mugs made from thick, colored glass or mason jars.
Entertainment: A pool table or a dartboard or shuffleboard table can provide guests with some entertainment.
With these ideas, you can create a unique rustic vibe and inviting western-style home bar in your basement, perfect for entertaining friends and family.

The client’s brief was to create a space reminiscent of their beloved downtown Chicago industrial loft, in a rural farm setting, while incorporating their unique collection of vintage and architectural salvage. The result is a custom designed space that blends life on the farm with an industrial sensibility.
The new house is located on approximately the same footprint as the original farm house on the property. Barely visible from the road due to the protection of conifer trees and a long driveway, the house sits on the edge of a field with views of the neighbouring 60 acre farm and creek that runs along the length of the property.
The main level open living space is conceived as a transparent social hub for viewing the landscape. Large sliding glass doors create strong visual connections with an adjacent barn on one end and a mature black walnut tree on the other.
The house is situated to optimize views, while at the same time protecting occupants from blazing summer sun and stiff winter winds. The wall to wall sliding doors on the south side of the main living space provide expansive views to the creek, and allow for breezes to flow throughout. The wrap around aluminum louvered sun shade tempers the sun.
The subdued exterior material palette is defined by horizontal wood siding, standing seam metal roofing and large format polished concrete blocks.
The interiors were driven by the owners’ desire to have a home that would properly feature their unique vintage collection, and yet have a modern open layout. Polished concrete floors and steel beams on the main level set the industrial tone and are paired with a stainless steel island counter top, backsplash and industrial range hood in the kitchen. An old drinking fountain is built-in to the mudroom millwork, carefully restored bi-parting doors frame the library entrance, and a vibrant antique stained glass panel is set into the foyer wall allowing diffused coloured light to spill into the hallway. Upstairs, refurbished claw foot tubs are situated to view the landscape.
The double height library with mezzanine serves as a prominent feature and quiet retreat for the residents. The white oak millwork exquisitely displays the homeowners’ vast collection of books and manuscripts. The material palette is complemented by steel counter tops, stainless steel ladder hardware and matte black metal mezzanine guards. The stairs carry the same language, with white oak open risers and stainless steel woven wire mesh panels set into a matte black steel frame.
The overall effect is a truly sublime blend of an industrial modern aesthetic punctuated by personal elements of the owners’ storied life.

A growing trend in today’s home interiors is that of luxurious bathrooms. Homeowners think about investing in an elegant and cosy bathroom due to various reasons. Some of them see the bathroom as their temple of solace, where they do all their special self-care activities. Others want their bathrooms to be the space where they can enjoy the time with themselves. People also see the bathroom as an extension of their taste and personality.
There are ways, however, to achieve a luxurious ambiance in your bathroom. If you check out the best interior design in Singapore recommendations, here are some of the most valuable tips and tricks that you may do:
1. Invest in cove lighting.
Cove lights are trending these days because of the way they change the environmental settings of any room. They are not as bright as general lighting, but they can illuminate the space just right. They are also very versatile and can be installed in bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and most notably, bathrooms.
Instead of using a central light in your bathroom, it would be posher to use cove lights. The light source is not blinding but is enough to illuminate the area evenly. The lights, due to their skewed diffusion, do not overlap each other, so you can enjoy an intimate ambiance while doing your self-care tasks.
2. Have a bathtub in place.
One of the most important aspects of a luxurious bathroom is the bathtub. It not only symbolises that you have the money to spend on one, but more importantly, you can afford the space for it. You also have the time to relax and enjoy a long bath with the tub in your bathroom.
While it is more common to have a built-in tub in most bathrooms (as a way to utilise space), you may opt for the standalone kind. This tub is not fastened onto the wall but instead held stable on the floor (similar to those in Victorian-era mansions). You may also have your water system customised to accommodate the tub.
3. Declutter.
Achieving a luxurious bathroom doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot on it. The best interior designs in Singapore feature bathrooms that are minimalist in terms of décor and style.
You can start by removing all the unnecessary items in your bathroom, cleaning up all corners down to the last speck of dust. You may then have it repainted with a colour scheme that speaks of cleanliness, relaxation, and peace. These shades include white, grey, blue, and green, as they are relaxing to the eyes and easy to clean.
You may also want to invest in an organiser, where you can place all your toiletries in one place and not have them occupy your bathroom surfaces. This way, it will be easier for you to add decorations and other accents to create a cosy vibe.
It also pays to have an indoor plant as an accent in your bathroom. Not only does it speak of freshness (which today’s luxe homes embrace), but it also offers a pop of colour that breaks the monotony of your bathroom colour scheme.

Stunning update to an nice open floor plan. This family wanted nice clean lines and a streamlined look. The Shiloh beaded inset cabinet doors in polar white with marble look Viatera quartz counters and the coastal styled Hallmark Coutier collection flooring all helped Michaela achieve this clients design.

Awesome Norristown PA bi-level home remodel. We gutted the whole first level of this home down to the bare bones. We redesigned the space to an open floorplan. New structural framing, insulation, windows and doors, and all mechanicals were relocated and improved. Lighting! Lighting! Lighting! everywhere and it makes all the difference. Led lighting and smart switches were used for up lighting above cabinetry, task lighting under cabinetry, general room lighting, accent lighting under bar top, and all decorative fixtures as well. The kitchen was designed around a central island with elevated seating that is designed around the new structural columns required to open the whole area. Fabuwood cabinetry in Galaxy Horizon finish make up the perimeter cabinets accented by Galaxy Cobblestone finish used for the island cabinetry. Both cabinetry tones coordinate perfect with the new Luxury vinyl plank flooring in Uptown Chic Forever Friends. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, luxury vinyl is Awesome! It looks great its ultra durable and even water proof as well as less expensive than true hardwood. New stair treads, railings, and posts were installed stained to match by us; giving the steps new life. An accent wall of nickel gap boards was installed on the fireplace wall giving it some interest along with being a great clean look. The recessed niche behind the range, the dry stacked stone tile at the islands seating area, the new tile entry in a herringbone pattern just add to all the great details of this project. The New River White granite countertops are a show stopper as well; not only is it a beautiful stone the installation and seaming is excellent considering the pattern of the stone. I could go on forever we did so much. The clients were terrific and a pleasure to work with. I am glad we were able to be involved in making this dream come true.

Here's a complete bathroom remodel done for a family in Long Beach. Though this bathroom may look like a simple small and compact bathroom, this room holds a lot of great features. The main attraction of this bathroom comes from the open shower that is accompanied by a accented black tile wall. This shower is also featured with a full length niche for shower accessories and a bench for extra support. The bathroom is enhanced more by the golden features that come from the knobs and faucet. This bathroom is the perfect master bathroom extension.

Step into a realm of serene sophistication with this masterfully curated living room, a perfect embodiment of modern minimalist luxury. This space is a testament to the power of sculptural forms and a restrained, earthy color palette. The immediate focal point is the magnificent curved sofa, upholstered in a richly textured fabric, that invites conversation and relaxation. Its organic shape softens the room's clean lines, creating an environment that is both contemporary and deeply comfortable. Paired with a bold, architectural armchair, the seating arrangement becomes a statement in itself, showcasing a commitment to unique, high-end furniture design.
This living room design is a masterclass in the Japandi and organic modern aesthetics, blending minimalist principles with natural warmth. Sunlight streams through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, draped in sheer curtains that diffuse the light beautifully, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. The low-profile, monolithic coffee table acts as a grounding centerpiece, its raw, stone-like presence adding a touch of elemental beauty. Every piece in this interior is deliberately chosen to contribute to a harmonious and uncluttered aesthetic, making it an ideal source of inspiration for a classy, modern living room in a new home or a high-end apartment.
The design showcases how to achieve a luxurious feel without excessive ornamentation. The focus is on form, texture, and light. This approach to interior design is perfect for creating a living space that feels like a personal sanctuary. It's an exemplary living room inspiration for those seeking to create a space that is both visually stunning and emotionally calming. This is more than just a room; it's a carefully composed piece of interior architecture, representing the pinnacle of elegant, contemporary living and modern house design.
