Property of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Schenecker, Fort Worth, Texas | Architects: William Haines in collaboration with J. A. Schutts

 


Today you can be immune to weather's vagaries; you can have a house with a pleasant climate built into it. This air conditioned house in Fort Worth, Texas, is a good example of weather-wise planning. It may be warmed or cooled automatically to its owner's content, but at the same time it has big glass window-walls on south and east sides for full light and air; overhangs keep out the overhead summer sun. On the north and west sides windows are cut down to a narrow band at ceiling height to minimize the effect in the house of the cold north winds of winter and the hot western sun of summer.
