PLAN FACTS:
To get eight rooms on a small city lot is no easy task for any architect. Here it has been done by the use of a
compact plan which places kitchen, heater room and two bathrooms in the center of the house. Radiating from this
"core" are:
(1) living-dining space;
(2) master bedroom, study, bath;
(3) children's rooms and bath, with adjacent play court; and
(4) a workroom with dark room and storage.
This last caters to the family's interests in photography and home crafts. A garden court between
the living area and work-shop lends openness to this otherwise tight plan. The children's wing has one double
bedroom which, by means of a movable division, serves as playroom by day.
ECONOMIES:
Simplified framing system; drywall interiors; inexpensive rough-sawed vertical siding; central plumbing core.
