- Atomic Ranch - Midcentury Marvels -
The
great magazine that inspired the great book (see our book listings).
The publishers describe this quarterly as "devoted to 1940's -'70's
ranch houses and modernist tract homes." And we agree: "They're
cooler than you think...."
Dwell - According to the publishers, Dwell "champions
an aesthetic in home design that is modern, idea-driven, and sensitive
to social and physical surroundings." The magazine focuses on "a
new modernistic approach to home design that offers identity, creativity
and harmony."
Old
House Journal - For those with older Ranch Style houses, this
magazine might be of particular interest, as, according to the publishers,
its editorial focus is on "restoring, maintaining and decorating homes
built before 1950."
This
Old House - This magazine is practically an icon to American
homeowners interested in renovation and remodeling of older houses.
From the publishers: "Detailed information and photography provide
an understanding of the equipment, materials and techniques needed to
renovate a home, as well as how to communicate more effectively with
architects, contractors, craftsmen, and designers."
