It is typically characterised by clean, simple lines and honest use of materials, and it generally does not include decorative embellishments.

Southern California architect Pierre Koenig was the master of creating modestly-sized Modernist homes that lived large. In 1951, Koenig was 27 years old when he designed his own steel-and-glass house in Glendale, California measuring in at just 1,000 square feet. The open-plan house included a separate studio in which Koenig started his own architecture practice and went on to become one of the most prominent architects in the United States.
