Here, the design aesthetic mixes the clean lines of mid-century modern with a bit of gothic and hollywood regency. A return to smaller intimately proportioned living spaces creates the comfort and warmth that make a house a home.  Less drywall and more walnut paneling.   Walls of glass that let the outdoors in. Sunken living rooms for cocktails and conversation. A hidden staircase or secret room adds to the drama and mystery. The smoky boozy ghosts of Mies van der Rohe and Don Draper are never far.
