Can Mid-Century Design Make Small Homes Better? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mid-century modern houses often achieved a sense of generosity without relying on large footprints. Efficient plans, natural light, expressive rooflines, and strong connections with the outdoors allowed relatively modest homes to feel considerably more spacious.Sage Valley Home by Northern Edge Studio revisits those ideas in a contemporary Australian house of just over 100 square metres. Inspired in part by William Krisel, the project combines a small plan and butterfly roof with passive design
Building the Mid-Century Way, Today (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today’s two projects begin with different questions. Sage Valley Home by Northern Edge Studio asks how a family house can provide more within a footprint of just over 100 square metres. Its compact plan shows how architectural character and environmental considerations can coexist with building less.In Austin, Inglewood Residence by Mark Odom Studio starts from a different ambition: creating a new home with a convincing connection to mid-century architecture. A central courtyard, horizontal prop
How Do You Design a New Mid-Century Home? (opens the original)

The Rambler by GO’C revisits the familiar postwar housing type through a modest footprint, horizontal form, framed views, and a strong connection with the landscape. Rather than reproducing a 1950s house, it asks which principles of the rambler still make sense for contemporary living.Inside the home, the mid-century kitchen tells a similar story. Flat-front cabinetry, straightforward layouts, warm materials, and an emphasi
What Can We Learn From the Mid-Century Rambler? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The mid-century rambler was built around a relatively simple proposition: a low, horizontal house could provide generous everyday living without necessarily being large. Open plans, deep overhangs, and direct connections to the landscape often did as much to create a sense of space as additional square footage.For The Rambler, GO’C revisits those ideas without attempting to reproduce a 1950s house. Its modest footprint, long sightlines, outdoor rooms, and close relationship with the wooded site
