The Ladera co-operators were polled on what they wanted in a house. Based on their answers, architects John Funk and Joseph A. Stein designed 10 different houses from which each member chose his own. Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Muffley decided on the H-shaped plan shown below. Although the houses are totally different in layout, they all use the same structural system. This means that framing could be pre-cut and used interchangeably for the houses. Windows, too, were prefabricated. Doors and trim are standardized.
