Contemporary

November 11th, 2007 Categories: Architecture

You know them by their odd-sized and often tall windows, their lack of ornamentation, and their unusual mixtures of wall materials–stone, brick, and wood, for instance. Architects designed Contemporary-style homes (in the Modern family) between 1950 and 1970, and created two versions: the flat-roof and gabled types. The latter is often characterized by exposed beams. Both breeds tend to be one-story tall and were designed to incorporate the surrounding landscape into their overall look.

    We call them “Mid Century Modern” now. There’s tons of it in Las Vegas, and there’s a whole movement to save them, and appreciate them. We cover a lot of it at http://www.veryvintagevegas.com
