Greenmeadow, Historic district in Palo Alto, United States.
Greenmeadow encompasses 73 acres with 243 single-story residences characterized by thin roofs, floor-to-ceiling windows, and open interior layouts.
The neighborhood was developed between 1954 and 1955 by Joseph Eichler, with architects A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons designing homes in the Modern Movement style.
The district represents a significant example of post-World War II residential development that prioritized modernist design principles in suburban American communities.
The preservation guidelines for the district restrict modifications to maintain architectural integrity, including a prohibition on adding second stories to existing structures.
Homeowners in the original development could select from six different models and request customizations, establishing variety within the unified architectural theme.
