The Reforma Casa Olga Baeta is undoubtedly one of the more playful modernist homes we have encountered. It was designed in 1957 by the great Brazilian modernist architect João Batista Vilanova Artigas.

Clear Architects’ recent renovation project of a mid-century house at Ducketts Mead is as neat as you like. Located in Essex, UK, the update was completed by the firm in 2013.

There’s a nice order to this original mid-century house. Built in 1962 by Robert Skinner, and located in a sleepy cul-de-sac in Trousdale Estates, Los Angeles, it seems like everything was geared towards to having the sparsest furnishing possible without feeling too empty.
