For Mr. and Mrs. Charles Muller, its owners, this house solves two dominant problems. First, their Glenview, Illinois, lot is only 110' x 127'. Neighbors are close but the Mullers wanted privacy. Their house follows a U-shape, its three sides enclosing the living patio, a green and inviting prospect through bedroom and dining-room windows. A louvered fence screens the front (floor-to-ceiling) windows, while garage and shrubbery shield the other sides of the house. The plan also provides privacy indoors: the bedroom wing is set apart from other rooms. Secondly, the Mullers want to live with the least possible bother. They have no wasteful hall space; storage is generous, particularly in the garage. Window screens roll up like shades, need never be stored away. Snow-melting coils in the driveway have made an end of snow shoveling. Outside walls of redwood and stone need no attention. By means of heating controls, separate temperatures can be maintained in living and sleeping wings.
