The house began as a case study house and was origi-nally built with a hybrid concept of living and working space. In their proposal, Charles and Ray Eames men-tioned that the house they designed would be a married couple who were essentially apartment dwellers working in design and graphic arts, and who wanted a home that would make no demands for itself, but would instead serve as a background for “life in work”, with nature as a “shock absorber”. They emphasized on maintaining the meadow in which the house is built on, using prefabri-cated materials to construct the whole house. They moved into the Eames house on 24th December, 1949, and lived there for the rest of their lives.
