Our Historical Sales

 

Queen-Anne style architecture dominated during the turn of the century, but Colonial Revival homes gained real traction during this era. The early 1900s also ushered in the American Craftsman style — inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement — that became synonymous with Southern California. Craftsman homes, as epitomized by the California bungalow, utilized natural materials in contrast to the over-decorated and eclectic Victorian aesthetic.

 

The beginning of the Mid-Century Modern era popularized single story Minimal Traditional and Ranch-style homes that were ideal for young families or those returning from World War II. Modernism blossomed with creative custom builds such as Pierre Koenig’s Case Study #21 and John Lautner’s Silvertop. With an emphasis on the indoor-outdoor connection and open floor plans, Mid-Century Modern architecture boomed across the U.S.

 

Thanks to progressive architects, sustainable materials, and technological advances, current builds are more exciting, eco-friendly, and luxurious than ever before. From Contemporary Architectural homes and live-work lofts to historic converted condo projects, small-lot subdivisions, and expertly restored estates, there’s no shortage of inspired design throughout the communities we serve, from Malibu to Palm Springs.
