Mid-Century Modern — style reimagining

Style

Mid-Century Modern

Inspired by Charles Eames, Pierre Koenig, Craig Ellwood, Raphael Soriano· no affiliation

Eames-lineage post-and-beam — planar, glassy, indoor/outdoor, no nostalgia.

• Exposed structural steel I-beam columns and roof beams — visible, painted matte black or left raw.
• Flat or shallow shed roof with deep planar overhang (4'+ at the south face for shading).
• Full-height single-pane glass walls — minimum 8 feet tall, often disappearing into pocket walls.
• Single-floor open plan organized around a central core (fireplace, kitchen) with defined zones.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
