Mid Century Modern Homes

Rummer Homes - Mid-Century Modern Wonders!

Typically, a Rummer Home is a one level, mid-century modern style and either flat roofed and/or with a vaulted peak central gable and an aggregate concrete floor atrium or gallery open floor plan with lots of glass and sliding doors that blur the line of the interior with the back yard landscape, a wood burning fireplace, post and beam construction with wood ceilings and sky lights, in-floor radiant heating, step-down tiled Roman shower/tub with a wall of glass;
and these Rummer Homes - Mid-Century Modern Wonders are very much sought after and have an unusual loyalty by their owners. They have been described as sleek, sexy, openness, expansive, very contemporary, ground floor loft, a celebration of indoor-outdoor living, simplicity, functionalism, efficiency, party house, an object of art.
Rummer homes are found all over the Portland Metropolitan Area of Oregon.

I think of this as a tribute and a way to honor the Rummer's with what they have built and in which we live in.
To celebrate the Rummer / Mid-Century Modern home that is is in the Portland Metro area.
To promote awareness and appreciation of the Rummer / Mid-Century Modern legacy and historical significance and to encourage Rummer home owners to preserve these important architectural marvels.
To educate and advocate these special homes we live in.

My hope is to encourage owners in maintaining their Rummer / Mid-Century Modern homes in their respective look and style, thus keeping with the integrity of the Rummer home construction.
