PLAN FACTS: As the plan of the Page house so clearly indicates, the architects have met to a "T" the specific requirements of the owners - for "a one-bedroom house with the usual other rooms, plus a study that could double as a guest room and a screened porch that could be used both as an entertaining area and as a summer sleeping porch."
Located near the north side of the property, entrance may be had either from a pedestrian lane on the north or from the street on the south. The southern side is predominantly glass, but is shielded from the street by a fence along the south property line; this side is protected from the sun by an overhang.
ECONOMIES:Dual or alternate use of screened porch for entertaining and summer sleeping; dual use of second bedroom as study-guest room.
