We had no idea who designed our home in the San Fernando Valley when we bought it. It was a tract home and it never occurred to us that it actually had a designer - although in time, we've come to appreciate our home's simple structure and airy spaces. It was designed in the early 1950s by two architects, Bill Krisel and Dan Palmer. They became well known for their mid-century modern designs in Palm Springs and other areas of Southern California. Krisel is still working and his designs are seeing a revival. More here and here.

One of the other things I miss so much about L.A. Not everyone agrees with me, but I love that style of architecture, especially when juxtaposed with Mediterranean-styled or Mexican-influenced homes.

Thanks, Steve. This mid-century style is the opposite, in so many ways, to the colonial house I grew up in. But, I find both appealing.
