House Porn: Mid-Century Modern Edition

Clean lines, natural materials, indoor-outdoor rooms. The hallmarks of Mid-Century Modernism only appear simple. But behind the era’s earthy, laid back vibe (not to mention the sort of sensible glamour that made the Mad Men look so compelling), are lofty ideals and a determined resistance to the status quo that were revolutionary in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Visionaries like Rudolph Schindler and Richard Neutra upended accepted notions of architectural possibility, transforming the residential landscape of Los Angeles. Here, you’ll find some of the city’s most stunning examples—most of which you can visit yourself.
