If there’s a theme to this next architectural boredom thread it’s “modernist homes built between the 1920s-60s that I really like.”

Let’s get started with Bruce Goff’s Paul Colmorgan House (1939-40) in Glenview, IL. Talk about ahead of its time!

The Richard J. Christensen House (1954) in Racine, Wisconsin is known as "The Riverhome" or "Ogawa-uchi". The architect, John Randal McDonald, was sometimes known as "the poor man's Frank Lloyd Wright" but I'd take it as a compliment. Amazing to think this home is 66 yrs old!

Everyone should visit Columbus, Indiana at least once in their lives, specifically to see Eero Saarinen's J. Irwin and Xenia Miller House (1953). Love the conversion pit! You can’t take photos during the tour, but it’s easy to capture the interior through the glass windows.

Sorry more photos from Saarinen’s Miller House (1953), I just love it so much! What puts it over the top is the landscape design by Dan Kiley (so many trees) and interior design by Alexander Girard (look at that carpet design in the top right corner).

James Dresser designed this home for his own family between 1952-53 in Madison, Wisconsin. The home is technically a monodome - a 28-ton concrete shell built on a radial framework of curved steel beams.

Henry Dubin designed his own home in 1929-30 in Highland Park, IL. Called the "Battledeck House,” he used a new construction system of large steel flooring plates that were dropped into place with a crane & welded to the steel frame of the home. (Ryerson & Burnham Archives)

This thread is turning into architect’s own homes but they did design the best for themselves, like the Paul Schweikher Home & Studio (1938) in Schaumburg, IL. The 2nd owner, Martyl Langsdorf, best known for designing the Doomsday Clock (seems appropriate atm), helped save it.
