Early in the 50's, Elwain Steinkamp continued his Bel Air homes development over the Mulholland ridge and into the hills of Sherman Oaks. He coined the neighborhood high above the San Fernando Valley, Sherwood Park. Edward H. Fickett, F.A.I.A. worked closely with Steinkamp and Stanley Martsen developing the upper tracts of Sherman Oaks. Their relationship would garner multiple awards for Fickett's home designs. *Note the Sherwood Park sign mimicking the Hollywood Sign in the lower picture Sherwood Park Award-Winning Homes Edward H.

Within a lovely enclave of mid-century modern home designs by Hugh Kaptur comes this sad little home built in 1959. I couldn't be happier the home is now in the hands of thoughtful and responsive stewards to bring her back to life. Can't wait to see the final results, as it will certainly be a chic compound of sorts. Congrats guys! You deserved this one.

This recently restored 1954 Atomic mid-century modern in the Whiting Woods area of Glendale, doesn't miss a detail. Architect David Levitt, AIA is known for his clean work and high level of taste. Landing on market yesterday, thought I'd post a few pics because it's gorgeous. The 3 bedroom and 3 bath pool home is something not to be missed. Once again, I have to admire the home staging by my dear friend Claudia over at #ModernMecca @modern.mecca Stunning. 3525 El Lado Drive Glendale, CA 91208 #ModernHomesLosAngeles #ModernHomesLA #MHLA #MidCenturyAtAClassicLevel #AtomicRanch #Restoration #Preservation #MidCenturyArchitecture #MidCenturyDesign #MidCenturyArchitecture #MidCenturyModern #Modernist #Modern #DavidLevitt #Glendale #HomesForSale #ModernHomes #ModernHomesForSale (at Whiting Woods, Glendale)

Built after the Bel Air fires of 1961, this 1963, David Hyun and Richard Wallace Whitney, Atomic Ranch features a grand 2-story glass entry with circular staircase, skylights and massive hanging light fixture. This mid-century modern with it's sleek low-slung roof line, certainly is a stopper! Shadow boxes display an ever changing pattern throughout the day, whilst a sunny day. LOL Minor fact: Richard W. Whitney started his career as a draftsman for A. Quincy Jones, Jr., F.A.I.A.

Whether it's Moons Over My Hammy or a stack of Slap Jacks, diners can often provide some late night provisions. But, here in Southern California, the diner wasn't just a destination, but an experience! The mid-century style known as Googie architecture is prevalent in many of our burger joints and greasy spoons dappled about. This mid-century style was ever so popular for it's whimsical vernacular. Seen here are photos of the recently restored Armet & Davis design for Denny's in 1969. So many awesome architectural attributes accompany this one. Take a close look. Mixture of building materials include common materials, but how the architects chose to work them into the design is a whole different story. Stucco/Cement is used to create faux rock on the exterior. The architects use different applications of the stucco to create varying textures and differentiate spacial breaks in the work by doing so. I am always delighted to see work being preserved. This one is a definite classic. Enjoy the pics.

Rain will never stop me from hunting architecture. LOL This gorgeous A.T. Wilkes design from 1962 with it's fenestration featuring nature's simplistic beauty surrounding the flat-roofed International sexiness. You don't feel like you are in Los Angeles. Instead, you are lifted from the earth. This is only one of two homes I know of in the area, designed by the architect also known for UCLA's Univ. Lutheran Chapel, 1964 residing next door to The Sheats Apartments by John Lautner, F.A.I.A., 1950, located in Brentwood.

Oh, what trouble I can get into, especially when I'm hanging around @na.ka.da_san. At least there wasn't a gun involved this time!!! Instead, we just got attacked by Large Marge! 😂 Here is a pictorial of William Pereira's design for the Metropolitan Water Disctrict Building, which has NOT been saved from the wrecking ball. Could you imagine the building being converted into living spaces? The tower worked out well with its re-use efforts, now stylish apartments. Shame the city doesn't see it the same way. Wah! The end is near.

Very pleased to see my dear friends, Claudia & Michael @modern.mecca receive acknowledgement for the hard work they put into this 1959 mid-century modern dream home located in #Whittier. Trust me, it was nothing like it is today when we got the offer accepted back in 2015. I could not be more happy than to represent clients with taste and style who aren't afraid to get dirty in restoring a home. Perhaps daunting at first, I find the reward great in the end, and so do they! Read more about the adventures of restoring a mid-century modern in the Winter issue of Atomic Ranch magazine. Either pick up a copy on newsstands or order online. #ModernHomesLosAngeles #ModernHomesLA #MHLA #MidCenturyAtAClassicLevel #ModernMecca #Design #Staging #Friends #AwesomeClients #Modernist #MidCenturyDesign #MidCenturyArchitecture #AtomicRanch (at Whittier, California)

Love, time, money: #restoration. The #BowermanResidence not only gets a new roof, but also some heavy engineering! After some sandblasting, the fireplace exposes the brick work behind layers of paint. This #midceturymodernarchitecture will be swank upon completion. #ModernHomesLosAngeles #ModernHomesLA #MHLA #modernhomeslosangelesmobileapp #RalphBowerman #Architect #architecture #archilovers #midcentury #midcenturymodern #personalresidence #woodlandhills #TodaysOffice (at Woodland Hills, California)

Inside the renovated 1948 midcentury masterpiece known as John Lautner's design "The Jules Salkin Residence" for the important, Jules G. Salkin. Note: #JulesGSalkin was among three men who created the Crestwood Hills, Mutual Housing Corporation, in Brentwood. The MHC received Federal grants to fund cooperative projects, where people would pool money and resources together to build houses. First known as a musician, then later a developer, Salkin would also become an architect. His designs can be found in Sherman Oaks and Encino. "Jules Salkin Residence" John E. Lautner, F.A.I.A.
