1960 DFPA homes Design #1

Reminiscent of a South Seas Maori (New Zealand) rain forest lodge, this novel vacation retreat adapts to either a flat site or a high bank. Modular system design enables easy application of building panels. Intriguing roof shape is formed of Exterior fir plywood panels, with rustic Texture One-Eleven `grooved" Exterior plywood providing a delightful contrast as handsome, durable siding. Here's another time and labor saver, too ...one and one-eighth inch thick plywood panels called 2.4.1 com-bine the functions of underlayment and subfloor in one. Because architect Alan Liddle planned with plywood as his basic material, this is a cabin you can put up yourself even if you're an amateur carpenter—in about eight weekends. Parts can be pre-assembled in town and brought to the cabin site ready for assembly. The skylighted interior of some 952 square feet includes a compact kitchen; two small and one large bedroom; bath; screened sleeping porch and living-dining room with a central circular fireplace. Outdoor deck areas can be added in any of four directions to suit the particular needs of your family or adapt to your lot.
