About Primewood

In the heart of Sunnyvale, California, the Primewood neighborhood stands as a testament to the creative legacy of Joseph Eichler, showcasing a collection of 35 homes that represent some of his largest and most imaginative designs. Built between 1969 and 1972, these homes, designed by Claude Oakland and Jones & Emmons, feature spacious interiors ranging from 1,700 to 2,600 square feet, predominantly in four-bedroom layouts. What sets Primewood apart is its enchanting architectural style—double-gabled models with atriums and steep gables filled with glass, evoking the whimsical essence of a fairytale village.

Primewood’s architectural uniqueness lies in its departure from typical modernist austerity, embracing instead a playful and storybook aesthetic that resonates deeply with the residents and visitors alike. Some homes mimic the appearance of beach cottages or even Tiki huts, with shake-roofed pavilions and outrigger-like ridge beams. The steeply gabled roofs do more than shelter; they create a symbolic 'home sweet home' ambiance that is visually striking and warmly inviting. This design philosophy not only enhances the neighborhood’s visual appeal but also fosters a unique sense of place and community among its residents.

Primewood is more than just a collection of homes; it is a vibrant community known for its tight-knit and active social environment. The neighborhood's layout, with its curving streets and lush tree canopy, along with buried utility lines, emphasizes tranquility and communal interaction. Residents of Primewood frequently engage in community activities such as block parties, neighborhood parades, and various sports played right on the streets, creating a lively and engaged community spirit. This communal vibe is further bolstered by the Eichler Design Guidelines, which protect the architectural integrity of Primewood alongside other renowned Eichler tracts in Sunnyvale, ensuring that the charm and character of this unique neighborhood endure for generations to come.
