Giving new breath to this Eichler home, an icon of Mid Century Modern architecture, in the miniature world is the creation of a 10-week journey where I passionately crafted every single detail. This special piece was prepared for Karen Nepacena , who perfectly reflects the spirit and aesthetics of the house. In the design of the model, I brought together the characteristic traces of the house from the past and its modern restoration today. While staying true to the original texture in some parts and reflecting its renovated state in others, I blended the house’s transformation journey over time into a single piece of art.
It was a very enjoyable process for me to bring the magnificent harmony of the old and the new into the miniature world through my art while crafting all these details. Do not forget to swipe the photos to see the interior details and texture work up close. Do you think it is better to stay completely true to the past when restoring a house, or to add modern touches? I am waiting for your comments.
I would like to thank Sarah and Albert very much for their great efforts in making this meaningful gift reach Karen and for facilitating the process.
