Property of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Devol, San Marino, California | Architect: Harold B. Zook

This one-story house for a young family- Mr. and Mrs. Howard Devol and their two daughters-includes no attic or basement. But in its 3.488 square feet exceptional storage is allotted for the bedrooms, living- dining area and kitchen wing. Every closet or cupboard is located where it is most convenient and fashioned to fit the precise size and shape of its contents. Everything in the house is stored at point of use and there is none of the clutter inevitable in poorly designed closets. 

The bedrooms have walk-in closets as large as 5' x 6'; all bathrooms have towel and hamper cupboards and counter cabinets. A 9' long cabinet is the decorative star of the dining room and a 13' entertainment center is the heart of the family room. More storage is concealed in the wood walls of these rooms. Walls of kitchen, laundry and service hall are lined with a variety of cabinets; three huge outdoor closets adjoin carport and terrace.
