ASK CHRIS PICK: Take a look inside homes by Joseph Eichler, who brought midcentury modern architecture to housing tracts. In 1964, he tucked 108 of his airy, Asian-influenced houses into Granada Hills, in a development christened Balboa Highlands. For the project he hired famed architects A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons. Preservationists are drawing attention to these jewel boxes, with their atrium gardens, enormous windows, and radiant-heated floors. More information.
