So what are you looking for!?
Mid century homes became popular after World War 2, when new materials such as steel became available and architects from all over the world began a grand experiment. Instead of boxed houses with small rooms, architects such as Ludwug Mies Van Der Rohe and the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright began designing homes with open floor plans, huge windows and often flat roofs. Mixing materials, such as wood, concrete and steel was also popular.
The architects’ goal was to create a connection with nature by taking down the walls and opening the space to the outdoors. With all of those features it’s no surprise that more people are starting to find these homes appealing again!
Architects, Gene Leedy, design team Sorensen & Fletcher, and Frank Lloyd Wright’s apprentice Nils Schweizer (as well as many more!) all helped bring mid-century modern design to central Florida in the 1960’s. Many of these home designs can be seen here.
