All sleeping areas in these houses are convertible, can be adapted to varied family uses. The two smaller bedrooms can be thrown together to make an L-shaped master bedroom by rolling the partition along the wall, into hallway. These areas also convert to children's rooms by night or (with the wall slid aside) become one common playroom. Larger bedroom adjacent to living room shuts off by means of a sliding wall for use as a study or can be opened at will for added space. Between kitchen and living room area a built-in dining table doubles as a serving buffet for sociability or, if you lower a dividing panel, does private desk duty in the living room. These flexible floor-to-ceiling panels create interior versatility. The over-all central plan permits you to enter every room from the entry hall without crossing other rooms. Use of the same materials provided utmost economy in building these houses. Exterior walls are studs and stucco on a concrete foundation; interiors, gypsum plaster; floors, asphalt tiling on cement slabs. Mar Vista received the Southwest Research Institute Quality House Seal of Approval.
