In their own house or swimming pool, on a knoll in the Hollywood Hills, is where the Maynard Woodard family would rather be than any place else. Reason: the house was planned to match the interests of Mr. and Mrs. Woodard, 15-year- old Maynard Jr., and 13-year-old Tommy, all of whom have hobbies and work at them. The playroom is the boys' special province and headquarters for family life. It is conveniently located between the workshop (where father and sons always have several projects underway) and the kitchen (from which frequent snacks are served via a pass-through). In the center of the house, with a south window-wall which opens to the terrace and pool, is the living-dining room. It is big and comfortable, has a fieldstone fireplace. Outdoors, a basketball-badminton court is popular with the boys; so is the concrete-paved terrace.
