In Week 2 of American Dream Builders, Lukas was the team leader in charge of renovating a midcentury modern home in Palm Springs. Lukas divvies up assignments amongst his teammates, giving himself the living room and the outdoor dining area. While midcentury modern is not Machnik's forte, we see his potential as a designer and a team player, as he turns a neglected midcentury mess into a modern masterpiece.

In Kohn's living room are classic mid-century pieces and a DIY coffee table made from a ping pong table and boxes.

A pair of mid-century Martz lamps flank the Parsons bed from Room & Board in the master bedroom.

Lange’s predilection for vintage design punctuates the space. The office level includes a cozy guest room with a midcentury Heywood Wakefield-esque dresser serving as a bedside table.
