This 1960s Home’s Painstaking Renovation Is a Love Letter to Midcentury Design
Architect Cristina Ioana Graff worked with homeowners Dale and Lois Schreiber to renovate a 1960s house designed by Herbert Beckhard, a business partner of Marcel Breuer.

Inside, Graff restored cedar planking and added new walls and floor panels. The kitchen features fresh Fisher & Paykel appliances, while an original slanted wood wall with a built-in credenza defines the dining room. "We brought in Corian and used wood planking and terrazzo, since that was a big thing in the 1960s," the architect says.
