Hiding in Plain Sight (3) – Matsumoto’s Lipman Residence
Another one of our favorites here is George Masumoto’s Lipman Residence. Located in Richmond, Virginia, it was built in 1957. This “split-level” was included in the book Contemporary Houses Evaluated by Their Owners (1961). Here’s a pdf of that article: background-of-simplicity-lipman-residence-matsumoto
It was a pleasant surprise when I came across these new photos of the Lipman house on ryantevebaugh’s Flickr page. Although it looks like there was an addition built, Matsumoto’s design still looks good 50 years on. Enjoy these full color pics of Mid Century Modern goodness:

Very nice. I live in a house designed by Dave Runnels, built in 1951 in Leawood, Kansas. There are three houses on my cul-de-sac designed by Runnels Clark Masumoto and Waugh of Kansas City. Until these photos I had never seen a Matsumoto design. The house next door to mine was Clark’s house.
The furniture in the old black and white photos is awesome! I also love the use of the interior leveling with brick as an added texture. MCM architecture is So Awesome!
