House Tour: Mid-Century Modern Heaven in Meyerhofer Residence

12 Jul

Osborn Architects, based in Glendale, CA, did a complete renovation of this home’s structure and surrounding landscape.  The result is a warm, inviting home with glass walls offering different views of the landscape.

Here’s the dining room, with spectacular views of the garden.  The set includes a warm, wooden table and a Model 48 dining chairs by Finn Juhl.  The space is complemented by a set of Poul Henninsgsen Artichoke Lamps.  I kind of like how they’re separated by the steel beams…

What I love most about the home is that it’s so modern in its mix of materials — stone counter tops, glass walls, wood wall panels, tile and marble floors — as well its eclectic mix of mid-century modern and contemporary pieces.

But enough about that, let’s look at the pretty pictures, shall we?

A William Platner Lounge Chair and Ottoman + Arco Lamp are accented by Ikat floor pillows and a huge area rug.  The stone fireplace is amazing.  I want.  I have to say that for all the stone and concrete in this house, it’s really quite inviting.

A Serge Mouille 3-Arm Standing Lamp is always a winner.  I’m not really crazy about animal print (I do make exceptions for cowhide), but I don’t hate this zebra ottoman.

Love the accents of gold lighting here in the foyer.

What’s also interesting about this home is how modular the spaces are.  Normally I find that to be very boring, but when you have shag rugs, flotsam wood accent pieces, warm lighting and subtly mixed prints/patterns, it gives these spaces a lot more personality.

See what I mean by modular?

So what do you all think of this home?  I love it!
