1960 DFPA homes Design #13

 


Neat and trim as the Cape Cod style it was patterned after, this vacation home by architect Laurence Higgins is without unnecessary frills yet it incorporates a surprising amount of space for just plain-down-to-earth relaxation. The living room is 15'- 4" by 10'- 4" with room on the first floor for a 7' by 10" bedroom, a compact kitchenette and a complete bath with shower. In the second floor sleeping loft, which is reached by an out-of-the-way ladder, almost any number of children can be accommodated. The loft may be divided into more bedrooms, or left as an open sleeping dormitory. The Cape Cottage is made comfortable for year around living with an economical out-of-the-way central floor furnace. Storage poses no problem in the Cape Cottage either. In addition to the large guest closet inside the front door, there's a wardrobe size bedroom closet and a big 5-foot-wide fully-enclosed outdoor storage shelter conveniently located just outside the back door. The Cape Cottage, as is usual with most of the cabins illustrated in this booklet, can be completed in gradual stages as the budget permits and as space is needed.
