Simpson Idea House Is Redwood Showcase
(Conti,nued lront Page 8) louvrcrl l-,i{old doors Ior all closet and storage areas; Dccra Cuard, Danish \\ralnut finish, for the kitt:hcn and bathroom cabinets. and Hr.r-.pitality doors fitted with operating glass jalousies for window units.

The total house plan is s.vmmetrically T-shaped rvith five major zones incorporatins eff('ctive ar:oustic and sountl conditioning principles. The first zone is thc stem o{ the T composed of a drivc-through, t$o-car garage and entrance court. The ground levcl portion of the house has three zont's: the ccnter contains the two-story entr,v hall and stair. sunkcn living room and Califorrtia room; the lower-left zone the ]redroom suite with two lrcdrooms and two bathrooms. and the lower-right zone, the kitchen-dining-family room suite with thc laundry ccnter. Thc master bedroom is in thc upper zone.
The Simpson Idea Housc is a house which fLrlly acknowledges the individual's nceds. Two of thc lrt'drooms havc prilate bathroom-dressing ak'oves. Thc {ront left lredroom can {unction as a gu('st room" nurser) or den. Its bathroorn is the one acccssible for all purposcs. including a front hall porvder room. The upper level master bedroom suite is a complete private retreat rvith unlimitt'd vistas front and back. In plan" the entry, closets and bath are organized to pt-rform in a dcluxe zoned manner for the individual" re-.ulting in t'w,o separatc dressing alcovcs complcte with vanity, closcts- lavatory and mirror. Retween and accessible to each of these two "His and Her" dressing areas is a toilet and tub zone. This second level. which dramatically accents the main architectural clement of this house, actually is framed as a roof area with two steep parallel surfaces roofed u'ith the original redwood weatherlap roo{ plank.
The plan also extends the house functions and privacy by borrowing and controlling erterior space as a part and continuation of the interiors. For cxample, the entrv r:ourt is containt'd b1' threc u'alls o{ tht: house artd of thc garagc and the California room is an outdoor ertensittn o{ thc living room. acce-ssible to both the bedroom u'ing rrrrd the kit, hen-din ing u ing.
The house acknowledgcs a clirnatic region that requirt's closc altention to climatic t'ontrol hut v'ithout a nccd for artificial cooling. Controlled vtrntilation and r:ross-ventilation is achieved by a unique corncr windon' detail combirring Simpson Ho-.pitalit1. doors fitted with an operating gla,*s jalousie insert.
The Simpson Idca House reflects a simplt' ,vet stron€r plan themt:; design continuity achieved through rept'titive usc of materials and detail used consistently- and design c'haracter strengthened by dogmatic refinement of the interrelation o{ plan themt' and materials detailing.
