The house is planned for a family of four children, and plan organization and room sizes were governed by a specific program set forth by the client. There are separate bedrooms for the children, two boys and two girls, all under eight years of age. These rooms are minimum in size, with one bath service each pair of rooms. The baths have Crane tub-shower units and dual lavatories set in Micarta-faced cabinets. Panaview aluminum-framed sliding glass walls open the children’s bedrooms to a garden court walled with Davidson hollow clay block and Luxlite translucent glass framed with 2 1/2” square steel tubing.
The area east of the recreation room, and adjacent to the carport, is a walled-in service yard which is easily accessible from the kitchen-utility area. A large storage room with Dormetco steel panel sliding door storage cabinets separates the recreation room from the hobby shop and pool bath. The hobby shop will be used for ceramics, woodworking and sewing, and opens to the outdoor child play area with its sandbox, slide, bars, swings and jungle-gym.
