With an emphasis on bright, airy spaces, mid-century modern homes are rarely without large picture windows to maximise light year-round. These stationary, non-opening windows are energy-efficient and are ideal for making the most of a nice view, with their fuss-free design and often metal or aluminium framing creating a streamlined border that doesn’t distract.

Matrix™ is an exterior cladding system with a clean, modern, expressed-joint look. Matrix offers a bold industrial aesthetic when an architectural panelised look is desired. Choose from various panel sizes that suit different stud spacings, and let the 10mm express joint create a variety of geometric shapes in square, vertical, horizontal and brick pattern layouts. Use Matrix for interior feature walls and paint the express joint a dark colour to accentuate the lines and shapes. The cavity construction design improves thermal properties and achieves higher R-values. To create a bespoke designer mixed materials look combine Matrix with other James Hardie Cladding products such as Stria and EasyLap for contrast and to accentuate design elements.

Create your own clean contemporary look.

Central grassed courtyards are a hallmark of mid century modern design. They create a connection with nature.

The Bird House uses smart design capturing natural cross ventilation connecting the two pavilions through the grass courtyard and surrounded by openable laser cut screens.

Originating in Europe, modernism influenced housing and furniture design from the 1930's through to the 1970's. It was hopeful and experimental. One of the main principles is "form follows function" meaning that the purpose comes before design indulgences.

Palm Springs, California has the most bold modernist architecture, thanks to the Hollywood stars of the 1950's who built homes there. Australia, on the other hand, embraced the mid-century modern look to build practical homes. Architects like Robin Boyd and Harry Seidler were proponents of the International Modern Movement and its influence on Australia.
