Home of Tomorrow | Hidden in plain site. There are plenty articles written about the Case Study Homes sponsored by John Entenza’s Arts & Architecture publication. But are you aware of the Post War House and, eventually, rechristened as the Home of Tomorrow?
It sits right on Wilshire Blvd and Highland Avenue in the Mid-City neighborhood. Builder Fritz Burns commission Welton Becket and Walter Wurdeman to build a model home with every new-fangled appliance to market to the returning GIs. Central air conditioning, electric garbage disposals and two-way intercoms were the tip of the iceberg. And, with furnishings by Bullock’s department store, this home was a marvel of opulence.
House Beautiful Magazine devoted and astounding 42 pages to the project. It’s estimated that over one million visitors passed thru the house. Eventually, when attendance slowed, Welton Becket revised the home, and it was renamed the Home of Tomorrow.
The property is currently on the market as office space. But unfortunately, it has been gutted. The exterior features some of the mid-century charm with a partial butterfly roof, clerestory windows and a pronounced brick fireplace. It would take a mammoth effort and some substantial funds to turn back time on this one.

While we wouldn't expect Japanese modern from the architect best known for the Sierra Towers, we are quite impressed. Sited on a 27,000 square foot lot, lies with serene post and beam architectural home with Zen gardens, a koi pond with walking bridge and stunning Cyprus shaped pool. All this in the center of the city. Beverly Hills Mid Century Japanese Minka by Jack A. Charney

When a house pops up in Crestwood Hills we get excited. This architectural home by A Quincy Jones and Whitney Smith did not let us down. Known as the Goldenfeld House, this property has been updated with respect to its origins. Clean lines and lots of glass always makes up happy.

Architect Val Powelson designed this residence on Astral drive for himself. While it's been updated modified with a second story, the charm is still evident in the clean lines, open floor plan and plenty of windows to allow the L.A. sunlight to shine thru.

Available Now! Private and gated Mid Century Pool Home in the Hollywood Hills. As Hollywood was transitioning from the vintage glamour of the 1930’s and 1940’s to what would become commonly known as the “mid century” design aesthetic, Ludwig Gluskin (a prominent band leader who worked with Orson Wells and George Burns) would commission architect Harry B Aarens to design a modern home on a special piece of property in the Hollywood Hills.

I think we all know by now that grandma-chic is hip. Move over influencers, this is old school style. This mid-century modern has tons of its original 1960's charm. Giant windows great you upon entering. A gorgeous, curved staircase climbing up the double height entry is minimal, but stunning. Classic stone, brick and wood finishes adorn the walls. A burnt orange backdrop for the dining room really sets the mood. And, maybe if you ask nicely, she'll throw in one of the floral sofas.

What's more "L.A." than a mid-century view house off Mulholland Drive? Situated behind a gate up a private drive, this architectural property may be a little too on the nose for a Hollywood cliche. It's got a pool with an oversized deck looking the hills and the "Valley". Maybe it'll show up in a Tarantino film.

A trip up the coast can bring many delights. One of our favorite houses is the Butterfly House in Carmel by Frank Wynkoop. If you've ever been to Carmel by the Sea, you've certainly noticed this house perched perfectly on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. And, even if you haven't seen it in person, it's been featured in Architectural Digest along with plenty of other publications recognizing its architectural brilliance. Jamie Bush of @jamiebushco gets the accolades for the meticulous restoration and renovation. Even if most of us don't fall under the income bracket to afford this one, we can still dream.

We have a special place in our hearts for the architect Raphael Soriano. Having recently sold the Gogol house in Los Feliz, we're excited that another gem has hit the market. The Lukens Home in Jefferson Park. This International Style home evokes the machine age minimal aesthetic popularized by the Bauhaus movement. This home should soon have another owner to appreciate its everlasting design.
