Mid Century Modern Home Plans

Mid Century home plans bring retro flair, but also provide contemporary open layouts and up-to-date amenities. You don't need to move to Palm Springs to get that trendy Mid-century modern look. The designs in this collection feature bold rooflines, large windows, and an emphasis on indoor/outdoor living. Contemporary feel cool and interesting in any neighborhood.

Depending on how closely you want to capture the Mid-century modern look, you can choose one of the one-story homes in this collection that looks like it belongs out in the California desert circa 1955, or go in a more contemporary direction with a two-story plan.

Simple roof planes (sometimes flat, in other cases gently pitched to meet in the middle) create bold curb appeal that will draw all eyes. Frequently, you'll see a wall of windows that adds a sense of lightness. All that glass also creates a bright and inviting interior.

Outdoor living takes on special importance in Mid century house plans. The living spaces typically open out back to a patio or porch. Add a pool to create a pitch-perfect retro oasis. Open Floor Plan(like most of the homes in this collection) feel relaxed and contemporary.
