One of the most successful community builders is Gordon Fields of San Bernardino, Calif. Using ten basic and tested floor plans, and an overall site plan designed to give his tracts a custom look, Fields has developed large areas in the sunny suburbs of that city. Exterior detail of trim, color and contrast of materials gives each house individuality and charm; he further individualizes them by varying the placement of garages-some attached, some at the left or right in the rear, some (on a corner lot) facing the second street. Inside he further varies his houses with decorator colors, different fireplace facades, different tile designs in bathroom and kitchen. Result-a charming suburban community of individual homes, yet each has the advantage of a proven and livable plan.
