I'm in love... nay, jealous, of your space. My husband and I LOVE MCM style. Sadly, there's not much to go around in St Louis and what is available is way out of our budget. I can't wait to live vicariously in your space.

Thank you so much for your comments! Yes...Hi Maja,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your comments! Yes the influence of American mcm-architecture is evident in our apartment. So many design cues that derive from the early works done in California and elsewhere.<br /><br />You are also right regarding the flat roof. It is not such a good idea with the climate we have over here. It is something that was widely used in the 60-70's architecture also over here, but we'v seen many of these houses converted to slope roofs later on. Ours actually does not have a flat, but an original slope roof. That being one of the key desicion-points in the search phase in our quest for a new home.<br /><br />The suspended, wooden (pine) ceiling that we have is quite typical for scandinavian mcm-houses. Very early on on the renovation process we decided that it will remain untouched as so many others have painted their pine-ceilings white in order to gain sense of height. We prefer it just like it is!<br />Minna & Pekka - Olive Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331431731366240263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029475356549027825.post-12975840175938357052013-05-14T07:09:25.218+03:002013-05-14T07:09:25.218+03:00Wow- your house is truly a dream home.

I've toured a number of Eichler homes here in Northern California, and it's quite interesting to see some of the similarities- including the layout and so much wood! The copious use of wood seems also uncommon for European MCM, am incorrect on that as well? ~maja @modchalet.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029475356549027825.post-27438795291719066452013-05-13T08:31:43.269+03:002013-05-13T08:31:43.269+03:00Kiitos vinkistä!
