Case Study homes are a required search topic for any new or old MCM enthusiast. If you haven’t yet fallen down the rabbit hole of this subject we at EichlerSoCal recommend allowing yourself plenty of time and keep a notepad handy as some might make it onto your must-visit bucket list. The Case Study house program was run by Arts and Architecture magazine from 1945-1966. They saw a need for housing during this post-war period but also understood the opportunity to redirect this mass of future homeowners in a new direction . According to the “ Announcement ” of the Case Study House Program, the goal was to define what a “post-war” house would be.

“Certainly we can develop a point of view and do some organized thinking which might come to a practical end.” – Arts and Architecture,  1945

Of the 36 Case Study designs, we were of course interested in one by Eichler’s very own A. Quincy Jones that was unfortunately never built. The concept, however, was so different we had to investigate and share what we found with you! Jones began working with Eichler when an issue of Architectural Forum in 1950 named the “House of the Year” to Jones in the same issue named “Subdivision of the Year” to Eichler. The partnership was destiny, and according to the Eichler Network , after a single meeting and a handshake the partnership began. In 1961 A. Quincy Jones and Frederick E. Emmons submitted their Case Study Home #24, and Eichler was a sponsor of the project.

It will be no surprise to Eichler enthusiasts to learn that Case Study House #24 was in fact a concept for a community of 260 homes to be built on a tract near Northridge. A shared park and recreation area was included in the plan and allowed each of the homes to require less space individually on the lot . It it thought that this element of the design is what may have kept it from development as many post-war buyers wanted to know that they own their land and home individually and not communally.

The Hammer Museum in Los Angeles recently showcased some of the work of A. Quincy Jones including a model (shown above) of Case Study House #24. Looking at the model of #24 is the best way for us to reveal to you the most fun aspect of this design, it is an underground home ! Well, partially-undergound to be exact. Because the homes were planned closer together with this communal concept, the underground home offered privacy and noise reduction in addition to energy efficiency.

An expected post-and-beam construction with radiant-heated floors and even an atrium were in the proposal but so was an unexpected element on the roof…water. A tray of 3-4 inches of water would help “maintain a comfortable living temperature in the hottest of weather.”  Read the full Case Study publication here including diagrams of the lots and cut-sections of the space. The water on the roof would be connected to an irrigation system for the lot as well. The spaces not below the surface would still offer floor-to-ceiling glass and access to the outside for the indoor-outdoor lifestyle many post-war buyers were wanting.

A. Quincy Jones: Building for Better Living will examine the work of Archibald Quincy Jones (1913–1979), who practiced architecture in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death in 1979. The Hammer Museum's exhibition is the first major museum retrospective of Jones's work. The exhibition draws from significant design collections, including Jones's personal and professional archives, housed at UCLA's Special Collections, and is organized thematically, providing in-depth vignettes presenting his design work in housing communities, large custom-designed residences, commercial facilities, and institutional buildings, and his role as an educator and design advocate. Projects on view include housing developments for the Mutual Housing Association and Eichler Homes, Inc.; Sunnylands, the desert estate of Walter and Leonore Annenberg; headquarters of the furniture manufacturer Herman Miller in Zeeland, Michigan; St. Michael and All Angel's Episcopal Church in Studio City; Warner Bros. Records in Burbank; and houses for Gary and Veronica Cooper and Frances and Sidney Brody, among others. The exhibition includes architectural drawings and models, historic Julius Shulman photographs, and newly commissioned photographs by the New York-based photographer Jason Schmidt. The exhibition is organized by guest curator Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher, assistant curator of architecture and design at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Fletcher has been Acting Head of the Architecture + Design Department since May 2011.

Jason Schmidt is an internationally recognized portrait, fashion, interior, and architectural photographer based in New York. His photographs have been published in the New York Times Magazine , New York magazine, the New Yorker , Vanity Fair , Wallpaper , House & Garden , and British Vogue.

Schmidt will provide new photography for the exhibition and catalog.

In the spirit of A. Quincy Jones's collaborative approach, Hodge has assembled a team to collaborate with her on the exhibition and publication. In addition, the team is supplemented by an advisory committee comprising leading scholars on mid-century architecture, design, and landscape architecture. This committee includes Thomas S.

The Hammer advances UCLA's mission by contributing to the intellectual life of the University and the world beyond. The Hammer was founded in 1988, and opened to the public in 1990.
