Waiting for the rain to start at the Eames House! In our opinion, rainy days here are just as beautiful as sunny days. The most common question we get regarding rain and the Eames House is how loud it gets inside the structures. A lot of people assume that because of the large amount of steel, it would be very loud. However, since the roof is finished with a gravel layer, the sound of rainfall is softened. In our stories, we’ll try to share this experience with you later in the day once it begins to rain harder!
