DESIGNED BY EGIL P. HERMANOVSKI, one of the most imaginative of the young designers of homes, The Eagle fairly bursts with life and livability. As American as its namesake, The Eagle's wing-like roof seems to instill a spark of its own that will make this home "a member of the family" to the foresighted young couples who build it.
The lower level of this eight-room, multi-level house is beautifully finished in fieldstone, the upper level has a redwood finish. The roofing is five ply, built up with marble chip or gravel. There is an attached garage or carport, depending on the builder, conveniently located at the rear of the house. The full basement has a separate boiler room that houses the forced, warm-air heating system and a complete air conditioning unit. The windows are awning type and fixed plate glass. The exterior dimensions of this contemporary home are 38'-8"x46'-10".
The interior walls are finished in plaster and wood paneling. The house is completely insulated with 4" full-thickness rock wool and aluminum foil. Mr. Hermanovski suggests hardwood and stone flooring.
The Eagle has been designed by the architect with an eye to a view. We approach the house from the rear. The entrance is on the side of the house off the driveway. The living room, dining room and kitchen are on the center level. The bedrooms are at a higher level. The game room, storage room and boiler room are on the lower level.
The view from the living room, 26'-0"x15'-4" is designed for landscape or water. The artist's conception shows one wall of this room made completely of fieldstone. In the corner is a fireplace with an attractive copper hood. There are built-in bookcases and shelves.
The dining room is 112-8"x10'-0". The floor-to-ceiling windows in this room have a different view overlooking one of the side terraces.
The kitchen is lined with cypress and all counter tops are plastic. The dimensions of this room are 11'-0"x11'-0".
Particular attention is called to the master bedroom. The room itself is 11'-4"x13-2". The high, fixed plate glass windows, provided for by the pitched and beamed ceiling, make this one of the most welllighted rooms in the house. The second bedroom, 11'-0"x12'-4", and third bedroom, 11'-0"x10'-0" are equipped with high windows to facilitate furniture placement. The closet space in all three of these rooms is tremendous. The bathroom on the third level is conveniently located to all three bedrooms. The floor of the bathroom is tiled and the walls can be made of either varnished cypress or redwood.
The game room or den, 13'-10"x24'-6". is on the lower level. It is built with large windows toward the view. Provisions are made for a fireplace if the builder so desires. Important, too, on the lower level is the 12x22 storage room. There is a second bathroom with stall shower and vanity on this level.
The outdoor living area has a fireplace or barbecue. The terraces and living areas are located in close relationship for good circulation and comfortable living.
