Season 23
Episode 3
Della Hansmann | Mid-Century Design Expert and owner of Mid Mod Midwest
The neo-mansard roof is as polarizing as an architectural feature can be. Mansard roofs belong along a street in Paris or maybe on an 80’s vintage Burger King, right? Yet, a slew of mid-century architects seemed to independently decide to give them a try in residential design during our favorite decades. Why, though? Why?
Today, I'm talking that over with our favorite mid mod house historian, Atom Stevens.
In Today's Episode You'll Hear:
- What exactly IS a neo-mansard roof?
- Who made the mansard roof a thing?
- Why was there a neo-mansard moment in the mid-century?
