Because this house is being built in quantity (192 houses in Palo Alto, California), its low price covers many usually expensive details: sliding doors, storage walls. a planting bay to be enjoyed from both master bedroom and living room, a trellised patio screened by grilles, mahogany plywood walls, not to mention such push-button equipment as a dishwasher, garbage disposer, radiant-heated floors. It looks and lives larger than it is because of window-walls, high ceilings, and an open, indoor-outdoor plan. This floor plan arranges 1,300 square feet so that the living room is a living room, not a passageway. The space budget is well spent, where it counts most, and with no hesitation about multiple use: for example, the heart of the house is the living-dining room, adroitly joined to the kitchen, which in turn is open to the utility room. This is a livable arrangement for young couples with children and without help.
