True to midcentury modern design, the continuity between interior and exterior spaces for this home was a primary goal.
Modern Houses
Mid-Century Home celebrates mid-century and modern homes designed by influential architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, Donald Wexler, Craig Ellwood, and John Lautner. We also highlight how contemporary architects build on these principles to create modern homes today.
In this section, we showcase carefully selected homes from contemporary architects who respect and embody the principles of Modernism. These homes reflect simplicity, functionality, and harmony with their surroundings, proving that Modernist values remain timeless and relevant.
Our global collection features homes from North America, Europe, Australia, and beyond, demonstrating the continued influence of mid-century design. By curating these homes, we aim to inspire architects and homeowners to incorporate modernist principles into their projects.
Through this selection, we contribute to the legacy of mid-century architecture, showing how its core ideas still shape and inspire the design world today.
