Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

McCall s Book of Modern Houses, edited by Mary Davis Gillies and published by Simon & Schuster in 1951, is an iconic mid-century architectural sourcebook that helped shape post-war American domestic architecture. Assembled in collaboration with McCall s magazine a leading home and lifestyle publication of the time this volume captures the spirit of a new design movement: clean lines, open plans, indoor-outdoor living, and functionalism tailored to the modern American family. Featuring 29 homes by notable architects and builders, this oversized book showcases innovative yet livable examples of modern residential architecture from across the United States. The book is lavishly illustrated with: Full-color photographs of interiors and exteriors Black-and-white floor plans, elevations, and diagrams Contemporary furnishings and décor advice Expert commentary on climate considerations, site use, and lifestyle needs A 31-page primer at the beginning of the book offers a practical guide for prospective homeowners, including budgeting, planning, and materials. The tone balances aspirational design with accessible advice for middle-class Americans adapting to a changing post-WWII economy and lifestyle. This book is often credited with introducing millions of readers to the concepts of Mid-Century Modern and remains a critical resource for historians, architects, designers, preservationists, and enthusiasts of vintage design. While produced for a general audience, it is now highly collectible and referenced in academic work on American architecture. It contains designs by both well-known and lesser-known architects making it a snapshot of the broader architectural trends of the 1950s, including the California ranch house, split-level homes, compact city dwellings, and suburban bungalows. The book also emphasizes modular design, economical construction, and the use of natural materials like wood, stone, and glass. Whether you're a vintage design collector, a homeowner restoring a mid-century property, or simply an admirer of 1950s architecture, McCall s Book of Modern Houses remains an invaluable and visually compelling reference. The original 1951 edition is now out of print and sought-after by collectors.…
