Planned for privacy and communal living is this modern home accenting the beauty and use of the out-of-doors in its scheme for family life. The home is divided in three sections: ( I ) for working and living; (3) for sleeping; and (2) as a liaison for both. (2) can be turned into an open pavilion joining all the indoor and outdoor space intended for group activities, or restricted to its private function as a room for creative thinking, or as a place for guests. The two main portions of the house are joined by a corridor, which is flanked on both sides by patios and the indoor-outdoor room.
The architect has envisoned in this home of the future a dwelling which uses prefabricated parts to some extent. For example, the exterior walls could be composed of pressure-molded plywood, bent back at each junction to form an upright support. Roof panels are similar; plywood beams would be used for large spans such as the open car shelter. The floor is a slab or tile with integral heating. The house here shown is designed for a flat lot facing to the west, but it might face north or south, or with the plan reversed, to the east, still keeping a southern sun for the principal rooms.
