👉 About Della Hansmann
Hi, I'm Della. I'm a residential architect specializing in mid-century modern design AND a millennial first time homeowner of a 1952 ranch house! I help owners match their mid-century homes to their modern life.

There is so much to love about builder grade mid-century homes. They are livable and full of charm but they need careful home improvement - after 60 plus that's no surprise. If you love vintage and retro homes and want to give yours a modern renovation that feels original or put back some vintage flare then this is the spot for you.
