Open Classic


Case Study House #8, better known as the Mondrian-inspired house and living laboratory of Charles and Ray Eames, will be open to the public for one week only beginning Jun 12.


Located in the Pacific Palisades, you can tour the exterior of the stunning Case Study House #8 Monday through Saturday as long as you schedule an appointment at least 48 hours in advance by calling 310.459.9663.

The off-the-shelf industrial-parts exterior spawned a whole movement who's influence is obvious in modern day prefab homes and the green movement; they've even been honored with their own postage stamps. What's so charming about this home is that it was one that was actually lived and worked in. There was stuff on the tables and the shelves, it wasn't ever a minimal, stark space. It was always full of life and inspiration. We think it would make a great weekend outing.
