Mid-century modern architecture is generally known for ample windows, translucent or glass walls, and open-concept floor-plans. Many homes in this popular style feature wooden posts and beams, eliminating bulky support walls and columns. The result is a light, bright, and stylish interior, which helps bring in that coveted outdoor feel (which might explain why mid-century modern is alternatively referred to as California modern style).  You may have heard of builder and real estate developer Joseph Eichler, who was instrumental in bringing his eponymous Eichler Homes to the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and select housing developments on the east coast.

Other notable names in the Eichler and mid-century modern movement include Anshen + Allen, Claude Oakland & Associates, Jones & Emmons,  A. Quincy Jones, Raphael Soriano, Mardell, Mackay, and Streng.
