While the term "Mid-Centurey Modern" can be used to refer to interior and product design, it is also used to refer to a type of architectural styling.

As such, some of the elements that are typically found with Mid-Century Modern architecture include :

Numerous windows
Open floor plans
Post and beam design to eleminate bulky supports
