Mr. and Mrs. Hugh F. Walker's house at Ormond Beach, Florida. Architects Harold J. Olson and Walter K. Smith, Jr.

If you want a small modern house which you can open and close at a moment's notice, take a look at Mr. and Mrs. Hugh F. Walker's house in Florida. Their "anchor to windward" at Ormond Beach was based on Mr. Walker's ideas worked out in collaboration with architects Harold J. Olson and Walter K. Smith, Jr. The result is a happy combination of mechanical convenience and easy upkeep. Constructed of concrete block, the house is cool and restful within, while welcoming the sun to its broad-angled terrace and private beach. Comfort keynotes the interiors which have a textured look and reflect marine colors. The rooms express Mrs. Walker's imaginative use of turquoise, cerulean blue, aquamarine, seafoam green, pale yellow and sand tones throughout. The house was decorated and furnished by The Dayton Company of Minneapolis.
