I love this house! Unlike a lot of modernist homes, this place manages to have the clean look without being cold and sterile. Thank God some idiot didn't get in there and start knocking out walls to create the "open concept" nonsense that is so popular today. This house is a winner on all levels. Congrats on finding this beautiful house and keeping it true to its intended form.
Honestly, I can’t imagine the steel framework being white and showing the inevitable rust spots. The idea of keeping the creator’s vision alive is wonderful.. Thanks for sharing the history.
Wow, this is truly spectacular. All of the furnishings are so tasteful, simple and so appropriate. We go to Palm Springs a lot, so many ppl junk there up their beautiful M-Mod homes with tacky "new" furnishings, wall hangings and other atrocities. I would PAY to see this place haa..
As someone who's not American and has never been to the US, it's always interesting to see how the same country has produced extremely beautiful modernist architecture and at the same time extremely tacky nouveau riche homes we see on real estate TV shows nowadays...
Absolutely beautiful. I've noticed there's a growing disdain for modernist architecture, but the beauty truly lies in the simplicity. Modernist architecture might not be everyone's cup of tea, as nothing is ever universally liked, but they could *NEVER* make me hate modernism.
I'm 61 and when I was a child, I had some modernist home toy kit. I could make my own house designs, it was all modular, kind of like Legos but not. Anyway, I can't revere the name of the toy, but it's what made me love places like this.
I would have loved that! My favorite toys were a log building kit, legos. I was fascinated by architecture and used to think about how I would blend together my favorite building styles and materials I saw in different countries we lived in when I was a child. Would have loved to have studied architecture. A modernist home toy kit would be fun to have even now. I'm 70.
do you mean the translucent panels? .. like 1:35 .. that vertically banded screen behind the bench seat Emil Tessin and Allside are new names for me. but my first impression was, _A single level version of the Eames House?_
The black lines with the colors are reminiscent of color blocking. Color blocking was a popular design in the 1960s in clothes. IMO the black is perfect for the era.
This house is flippin' fantastic. I wish I could buy a kit of this house right now. The black beams are dramatic and perfect. It is reminiscent of works of Pierre Koenig. Painting them white would be a crime.
In the comments somebody mentioned the painter Mondriaan. He was part of a movement called ‘de Stijl, after the magazine they published. Part of this movement were also Rietveld and Doesburg.Both were architects and designers. This movement was very influential. This house takes their work a step further. At the same time it realizes all the ideas and esthetics of the Steil (the Style).
This house is a dream! beautiful work with panels opening or breaking perspectives from outside in and inside out, open, semi-translucent, opaque. The colors, the beams, all the elements preserved rather than updated 'au goût du jour' adds so much value and spirit! Maybe this is also all part of the architect's vision, but I would consider surrounding it with a meadow - adding highs, lows, and movement to the outside views as well as space for biodiversity, animals and insects to hide!
Thank you for showing us this amazing home and even more thanks for seeing yourself as the current steward appreciating it until its time to pass it on, such a rare quality of home owner
A wonderful home from an unfortunately past time in home architecture. Thank you for a beautifully done video and for presenting it for the world to see. When I see all of those old, original appliances in the kitchen I wonder who in the world still fixes them when needed. That too is an art form slowly passing
Can't say more than what has already been covered by other comments but this possibly one of the most beautiful houses that I've ever seen. I thought the Bridge House video was good but this one of my favorite. Great video, thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks to the uploaders and home owners for a wonderful upload, I love the style and make models of mid century modern houses from cardboard and Styrofoam to showcase my Hotwheels/Matchbox car's, I appreciate most styles and era's but love Mid Century Modern as it looks so vibrant with an uplifting feel and it's the era I grew up in. Best wishes to everyone involved in this vid,families,friends and fellow viewers.❤❤❤
In Architecture 101 class I learned that at the time, the public saw these homes as cheap, unfinished, and barren homes. The insult was, "What, you can't afford a real house?"
What a breathtaking, dazzlingly beautiful house ! The blue and yellow looks like Porsches Speed yellow and Riviera blue. So cool! I love your channel so badly OPEN SPACE!
I was just up in Michigan city 3 days ago as I write this. Around an hour from Chicago Michigan city is really a Midwest oasis so to speak. We traveled up a few hours south west to go up to the dunes and swim in Lake Michigan and it really is a beautiful area, I wish I knew ab this house when I went. I’d love to own this house I somewhat feel the buyers aren’t totally in love with the place. This is my type of home.
Beautiful house but would love to know more about the practicalities of living in such a building. The owner mentions how much up keep is needed. Is that because of the materials involved? And is that why the line was discontinued? Does it get too hot in summer or too cold in winter? I'm fascinated to know because this sort of pre-fab building would help solve a lot of the current problems we have with housing shortages here in the UK.
I absolutely love this aesthetic. It reminds me of my childhood in the 70s. As an older, experienced (and Canadian) homeowner now, however, I wonder about snow on the flat roof. Is that practical, where snow is significant half of the year?
Love to understand what he meant by the continuous upkeep... Is it the actual bones of the house that always need attention or just the amount of windows to wash??... Besides knowing this, would live here in a heart beat!!! ❤
All houses are a continuous upkeep … because materials deteriorate no matter the climate. We also age … Keeping this house prostine and looking like brand new is a full time job
What a cool house! It looks perfect. I do have an opinion about "keeping it within the era" though. If it was my home, I'd be wanting to keep everything the same except the kitchen appliances. Those are majorly functional tools in my household and I would prefer to have a new fridge and oven. I don't think it would steal away much of the aesthetic, would it?
Interesting house, but I have a hunch that the owners were more convinced to purchase it mostly because of the large piece of green land surrounding house: it is a real value to own so much green yard.
No, not white!!! The colours are beautiful. White is actually an absence of colour, it’s a nothing-thing, it has no warmth, and it fights with nature. I love the black steel frames, and the daring colours - the house has a fresh identity that would have to uplift and inspire you when walking up to the front door. Life without colour is dull. Flowers have been teaching us about that for millennia!
Once upon a time on Steam Corners Road in Lexington, Ohio, there was a house that looked exactly like this one…including the outdoor space. It deteriorated over the years with sheets and blankets covering what was once beautiful colored panels. I’m afraid that the interior didn’t respond well either. Sad to see.
@@openspace.series I don’t know the exact street number but it is located in the trees across from Yorkshire Rd. I’ve seen it and the colors are all gone and just white is left. Haven’t been that way in a couple of months, so I don’t know what’s up with it. Just sad to see that it was not maintained. It was such an unusual home. The house in your video and its location are so similar.

The black lines of the structural grid hold the colored panels together compositionally like a 3-dimensional Mondrian painting. Love it.
I thought that too. The house is so beautiful and serene.
Historic homes need to be preserved. This home is beautiful.
We couldn’t agree more!

Agreed!
I'm a midcentury original, and I think I could gladly finish out my life in that house.
I could never afford it, but I can enjoy it....
So glad you’re letting the house be what it is because it’s absolutely perfect as it is!

I can't believe he compared this home to craft Mac & cheese! This house is simply a gorgeous time capsule im glad they're keeping it the same
Yeah I was cringing. Bad analogy.
Iconic or part of the landscape much like Kraft mac 'n' cheese. I figure that's what he meant to say.
I love how the house exterior interfaces with the beautiful yard.

@@katella I agree it wold be fun to have now (I'm 61), I've searched for it to and avail.
@@MarcCardwell I would like one too. But I live on a small Mediterranean island now and can't imagine I would come across something like that.
It would look worse were it all painted white. I heart that it resembles a Mondrian.
OMG - it's like a movie set. A real work of the 1960's. I can just feel the Kennedy's, the Beatles and the Space Program looking at this house.
It's such a wonderful home
My dream type of house and this one gives me lots of ideas for what I'd eventually like to create. The opaque glass is stunning.
do you mean the translucent panels?
.. like 1:35 .. that vertically banded screen behind the bench seat
Emil Tessin and Allside are new names for me. but my first impression was, _A single level version of the Eames House?_
I knew what Barry meant. Half the people defer to that.

And now, only the wealthy can afford any home! America!
😮
@MealTeam6Art is subjective.
The detractors certainly can't afford these now, but I am sure they are happy living in their cookie cutter house on some blasted sub-division.
@MealTeam6these houses are better than most modern houses built like cardboard and overpriced 😅
I love this house❤❤❤❤
I'm right back in the sixties with this house.

Museum piece … the whole thing… ❤
wow...I would not mind spending the rest of my life in this wonderful place.
Incredible home
It's really such a peaceful and beautiful space
Total awesome! Love the lines and light.
Absolutely stunning. I would have also not left without making an offer. Mid Century Memories

5:58 This island is sublime. Is that a rounded corner? Additionally, with white piping? look at those handles. And its colors. This is fabulous.

Beautiful property.
Perfect. Thank You.
This is my new favorite channel!! You guys are awesome!! This home is stunning and inspirational!
Yay! Thank you!
What a home!
Beautiful film and a beautiful home. How do they keep it so well preserved with it being on Airbnb? Would worry me!
Good question!
Looks much like the house my parents bought in 64…first house that felt comfortable with the open space and tall windows..only 14,000.
Great video guys. Another wonderful home and story.
Thanks Chris!!
Perfection
Thank You for video House tour love house design ❤🎉
Beautiful!❤
Glad you enjoyed it :)
What a simple beauitful home!! I love it!!! Xxx
Please don't change this house. It's perfectly beautiful
This is breathtaking..
These houses were built for living not for museums. It's ok to live and have your personal expression in your house.
Mid mod fans look no further. Mad for this house, saved to house folder.
Incredible ❤ dream house
It seems to have the original domestic appliances and kitchen fittings from when it was built.
stunning home. really nicely done video.
Thank you!
Beautiful house
Thank you 😊
thanks for sharing
Stunning home! Amazing work as always OS!
Thanks a ton!
It looks like a house Wes Anderson would want to film in. :)
Yessss
STUNNING!! I LOVE IT!!
Linda arquitetura e belas obras de arte, nas casas atuais não se vê arte de qualidade nas paredes
J ADORE MAGNIFIQUE
very comfortable home
Beautiful home, an amazing living space. Does anyone know any more about the two-seater bench they have by the window?
Solid WOW ❤
Amazing!

Every time she said something, he would chime in with a he-peat of the same thing she just said lmao
The owners color-change suggestions show his naivety but I applaud him for still being wise enough to leave it as creator intended.
