This is a compact 1958 entry-court house from California, situated on a narrow lot. The car shelter was moved around the front. On the rear there is space for a lovely terrace and garden, with large living and family rooms turn broad glass walls in that direction. Kitchen's in the center of things; bedrooms have a wing to themselves. Utility room could provide space for basement stairs if needed.

Ceiling of living room follows high-peaked roof; it makes room seem much more spacious. Entire area opens to terrace beyond. Cool grays and greens of interior contrast with bright outdoor scene; roof overhang and grid shiedls room fron sun's glare.

Central kitchen squeezes a lot of features into small dimensions. There's an informal breakfast bar along near side of divider wall. This room can serve as a family-fun area or for formal company suppers. Sliding glass doors connect with terrace, as does the living room on the other side of the kitchen.
