f f vOU HAVE a wide building area, then you will want to take advantage of this feature and select a plan which will extend across most of the lot. A wide home looks more impressive and is usually moro livable.

If you are building on a busy street, you should consider placing your main rooms at the rear of the design. This will create a private living area at the rear of the house from which a well planned garden can be enjoyed-as well as outdoor living-most of the year.

Very few homes have as spacious an entry as this one. The double entry doors are flanked by stationary glass panels through which sunlight floods the entry.

From the entry, all rooms may be reached directly without going through another. This arrangement reduces tracking of dirt and insures privacy.

Only partial walls separate the entry from the private-world living room. The massive fireplace is in the corner so the sliding glass doors could be placed in the center of the rear wall. This arransement has proven to be superior for furnitirre arrangement.

The kitchen provides plenty of space for an efficient arrangement of equipment, cabinets, appliances and an ample size eating area. If preferred, this nook area could be increased in size by extending the front wall until it is in line with the front wall of the garage. This could be done during the construction of the home and at very Iittle additional cost.

The partial wall at the rear of the builtin range and the opening between the kitchen and family room allow conversation between occupants of the two rooms and a view from the kitchen to the rear patio.

All of the bedrooms are generous in size and will accommodate twin beds. The luxurious master bedroom suite consists of a bedroom with sliding glass doors to the patio and a high sliding window for cross ventilation and furniture arrangement, a dressing room-with a built-in dressing table-and a private bath with a semi-pri. vate toilet and a twin pullman lavatory.
