Arizona can point with pride to several new housing developments where the builder and a good designer have worked hand in hand. Result: a practical use of space, an attractive use of materials, and much more value received for the buyer's dollar. This house, in just over 1000 sq. ft., not only has three bedrooms and a spacious living-dining area, but a large and welcome storage room. The front door stands open showing the coat closet which forms the small entryway. A back patio fully enclosed in a tall redwood fence gives complete safety and privacy to children's play-yard, while the front patio doubles the area of the glass-walled living room. Typical of other cost-saving plans, this house has no fireplace.
