Today’s discussion is around Michelle Gringeri-Brown’s book “Atomic Ranch: Midcentury Interiors”, and I have to say that I found this last one truly fascinating, since although I am not a fan of the midcentury design itself, I must admit that its elegance is doubtlessly present throughout every space along the same lines.
The photographs in this edition were taken by Jim Brown, who also shared several of his ideas throughout the different ranch houses presented in the book. An ideology of his that I still cannot find the words to express how true it is, it’s when Brown states that interior design is quite a personal subject, and that although it is built through history and the basic elements of any artistic composition, people are still capable to greatly vary among similar styles (Brown 9). I believe that this is particularly found in a style such as this one, while taking into consideration that midcentury design is a term involving many aspects of what can be considered contemporary and modern.

The horizontal feel is constant in these residences, and if we look closely at the common details of these houses, we can admire a tremendous emphasis for natural resources utilized in the diverse designs. Although a style such as prairie could also provide us with this combination of metal, glass and wood, the midcentury style is definitely motivating the owners to live in a wood box, instead of the typical glass box that we see in more modern environments. Yes, wood and brick seem to be essential parts of this category of design, but the question here is if this is remotely crucial for its organization. To answer this, it is kind of curious that we must move forward in the book and, really, in time, to start identifying a different subsection of what it was once known as midcentury.
Brick vs. wood, tile vs. carpet, one-story vs. two-story…It is really all up to you.Let’s submerge ourselves into these “atomic” ranches, and purchase the newest edition of Michelle Gringeri-Brown’s book “Atomic Ranch: Midcentury Interiors”.
