Mid-century modern architecture featured flat roofs, angular details, and asymmetrical profiles. Expansive walls of glass, clean lines, and wide-open floor plans were also hallmarks of this residential style. This movement was also the first to use bi-level structures. This approach married indoor spaces to the outside, making it extremely popular on the West Coast.
Mid-century modern style appealed to everyone. The well-heeled hired the best architects of the day to design and build impressive custom homes. At the same time, suburban developers brought modern style to the masses, creating tract homes using the same design principles.
