The Eames Office has announced the made-to-order Eames Pavilion System, a prefab kit that lets any buyer assemble their own Eames-style homes.
The famed married industrial designers Charles and Ray Eames were respected for their work on furniture — but the Eames House in Los Angeles , which served as their former home and studio, was one of the few residences they ever completed.
, fans of that adaptable-use style — which is marked by wooden tones, black beams and prominent color-blocked panels — are one step closer to incorporating it into their own lives. The Eames Office has announced the made-to-order Eames Pavilion System, a prefab kit that lets any buyer assemble their own Eames-style homes — or exhibition spaces, accessory dwelling units, stores or offices, as the uses are flexible. The look, though not the exact Eames House in California — which sustained smoke damage in 2025 due to the Palisades Fires and underwent months of restoration — greatly resembles the architects’ principles.© Eames Office, LLC.

They’ll be built by the Spanish design brand Kettal and people in more than 80 countries worldwide will be able to get them. The starting cost: some $260 per square foot, which means an average-size 2,000-square-foot prefab structure would run $518,000. “For many years, people have thought of the Eames House as a kind of singularity,” the architects’ grandson, Eames Demetrios, told CNN. Demetrios and Eckart Maise, former chief design officer for the Swiss furniture company Vitra, had long aimed to bring the couple’s aesthetic into prefab designs. “With research, we’ve really proven that they were always thinking about this idea of a system,” Demetrios told the outlet. “In a way, the Eames House is a prototype.” Indeed, the Eames House was part of the architects’ Case Study project — a method for contemporary family living in the wake of World War II.The prefab Pavilion System brings it through to today, by additionally incorporating elements from structures such as the next-door Entenza House and the open-plan Shelter House concept. Never built, that latter single-story study, which the couple referred to as the “supermarket house,” was meant to come at little cost. “Together, these projects articulate an architectural logic that the Eames Pavilion System condenses into a modular construction kit: a rational grid, a small footprint with maximum volume and a structure capable of interior flexibility and long-term adaptability,” according to the release. “The system is a living expression of the Eameses’ belief that design should respond gracefully and intelligently to the way people live and work.” The prefab pavilions will have interchangeable roof types, wooden accents, bold black beams and options to customize the exteriors with color-blocked paneling and windows, to name some options. The goal is to allow for many configurations no matter the kit purchased. “They were always interested in this multiplication aspect — how can this effort be transformed?” Demetrios told CNN. “They wanted to universalize. If you look at all the Eames’ work, you keep coming across that idea. So, this is magic for us.”Pentagon preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran — as Trump warned regime to ‘get serious’ about peace deal: reportManhattan’s empty office towers are becoming apartments — just not the ones most locals can affordTaylor Frankie Paul returns to Instagram following ‘Bachelorette’ cancellation, domestic violence investigationOne-story Eames Pavilion, 2026.An early 1950s photograph of the Eames House, initially intended for the film House: After Five Years of Living.
