<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Atomic Ranch is an in-depth exploration of post-World War II residential architecture in America. Mid-century ranches (1946-1970) range from the decidedly modern gable-roofed Joseph Eichler tracts in the San Francisco Bay area and butterfly wing houses in Palm Springs, Florida, to the unassuming brick or stucco L-shaped ranches and split-levels so common throughout the United States. Authors Michelle Gringeri-Brown and Jim Brown, founders and publishers of the popular quarterly Atomic Ranch magazine, extol the virtues of the tract, split-level, rambler home and its many unique qualities: private front facades, open floor plans, secluded bedroom wings, walls of glass, and an easy-living lifestyle. From updated homes with high-end Italian kitchens, terrazzo floors, and modern furniture to affordable homeowner renovations with eclectic thrift-store furnishings, Atomic Ranch presents twenty-five homes showcasing inspiring examples of stylish living through beautiful color photographs, including before and after shots, design-tip sidebars, and a thorough resource index. </p> <p>Atomic Ranch reveals: </p> <p>Hallmarks of the ranch style</p> <p>Inspiring original ranch homes</p> <p>Ranch house transformations and makeovers</p> <p>Preservation of mid-century neighborhoods</p> <p>Adding personality to a ranch home </p> <p>Yards and landscaping </p> <p>Plus, a helpful resource section and index!</p>
