modernist homes

Sleek architectural dwellings

Modernist homes are residences built according to mid-20th-century architectural principles emphasizing clean lines, open floor plans, large windows, and integration with the natural environment.

The style emerged from the Bauhaus movement and architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe.

Features include flat or low-pitched roofs, minimal ornamentation, and industrial materials like steel, concrete, and glass: The neighborhood is full of restored modernist homes from the 1950s.
