Sunset Homes: a house designed by JAMES M. WIDRIG AND DAVID H. WRIGHT

A two-story country house is designed to meet the needs of six children and at the same time to make a busy mother's job as easy and pleasant as possible. Living room, dining room, kitchen, and activity rooms are large to fulfill a big family's need for elbow room, but they contain a minimum of dust-catching, wasted space.

The 17-acre site of this house is out in the country, and the children find much to do outdoors. This makes playtime a delight for the children, but pro- vides a bundle of laundry for their mother. Anticipating this problem, the architects put a laundry-sewing room on the second floor, near the bedrooms.

When the older children leave for college, the family will need fewer bedrooms. At that time, the partitions that now divide three large bedrooms into six small ones will be removed.
