Phoenix saw it's biggest boom along with the whole city of Phoenix after World War II and at an ideal time for modernism to take hold. This was the period of great growth for



Phoenix with both army and none military people moving here: together with them came the idealists of modernism: Ralph Haver and Al Beadle to cite a couple.



They took on Phoenix with a verve building and planning both custom modern homes 1 or 2 entire subdivisions. Among those modern Phoenix subdivisions are a few that stick out.



Marlen Grove - Marlen Grove is located in North Central Phoenix with modern homes designed by architect Ralph Haver. It's often called the Circle of Power by neighbors in the club. Both architects and design eperts have made this small retreat of two streets their home, putting abundant personality on to the homes. Almost all of the modern houses have been renovated taking on the



Nirvana Gardens - is a larger subdivision of modern homes designed by architect Al N. Beadle. The setting is for this homes is against the north foothills of the Phoenix Mountains. Unlike Marlen Grove the yards then to be larger and the streets wider. It isn't as intimate as Marlen Grove, but all the same opportunities and characteristics are there as well: owners have taken on them selves to put their creative design skills to both the structures and landscaping.



Windermere - is another Ralph Haver community and similar to Marlen Grove the buildings are more tightly knit and intimate with a larger density of mature flora. Found in Arcadia this community has a seriously well-liked central location: closer to downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale as well as the airport. However it's the design efforts of the owners that again make this neighborhood easy eye candy.



Most of the modern homes have been reconstructed taking on the contemporary needs for today's living while keeping the original idealism of modernism's intent of simplicity and in the case of Phoenix of melding the inside and exterior spaces. There are a few modern Phoenix homes left in either the first condition or with modifications that, lets say, must be removed. So , there's opportunity for adventurous owners to make them their own.
