    Master Plan FAQ

    19/02/2026 | 37 mins.
    A bit about me. 
    I love answering questions and I truly don’t mind answering the same questions a bunch of times. BUT I’d much rather talk about your mid-century house. And your life. And your hopes for your remodel. I hate going into a conversation about a significant purchase without enough information to feel prepared. 
    And I suspect many of you are like, “Yes. Same.”  This one is for you.  
    In Today's Episode You'll Hear:
    Why it’s never too early to start designing. 
    How much your Mid-Century Master Plan will cost. (Yes, we can tell you that up front.)
    When we’ll need you to move the process forward - and how much time that will take.

    In Today's Episode You'll Hear:
    - Why you should remove the tub…if you want to!
    - How to treat your house like a home instead of a commodity. 
    - Which investments really matter when you remodel.

    The Mid Modness of a Neo-Mansard Roof with Atom Stevens

    22/01/2026 | 49 mins.
    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?
