Features

MID-CENTURY MODERN ARCHITECTURE (1945-1969)

Mid-Century Modern architecture is characterized by clean lines, minimal decor, wide, open spaces with emphasis on bringing the outdoors in. Inspired by Scandinavian and Danish Modern design and influenced by Bauhaus aesthetics, architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright epitomized this mid-century movement.
After WWII there was an emphasis on quality family life and the enjoyment of nature. Reflecting the family values of spending time together, entertaining and incorporating new technology meant less time spent in the kitchen, cleaning the home, allowing more time spent with family.
Designed by a renowned Victoria architect for his family, 2009 Runnymede embodies the organic style of the era, embracing natural shapes that blend into the environment. A wide, low footprint with clean lines... this residence truly is a timeless, classic example of fine Mid-Modern design and function.
