This exciting plan boasts an atrium which contributes considerably to private outdoor living. There is also a wide patio at -the rear of the home where the rear yard can be used and enjoyed in semi-private outdoor living.

On each side of the roofed front porch, there are reflecting pools. These pools extend under wide obscure glass stationary windows which hank the dou,ble doors which lead from the porch to the atrium. Similar glass panels flank the door leading to the entry at the rear of the atrium.

From the generous sized entry, there is excellent circulation to each area of the house. Note how sliding glass doors provide direct access to the atrium from both the family room and bedroom hall. A conventional door opens from the garage to the atrium.

The living-dining area gains spaciousness from completely open planning. Only partial walls separate the entry from the living and dining room. An abundant amount of light floods this room from the entry windows, and through the wide sliding glass doors opening to the patio.

The all-purpose family room-kitchen is ideally located in relation to the entry, atrium, dining and garage. The cabinets forming the broom closet, pantry and built-in oven extend from floor to ceiling but there are openings between the remainder of the cabinets sep. arating the two rooms.

Family meals can be eaten in the huge nook area. This means that the family room need not be used for family meals which is so often tru,e in many of today's designs.

A door opens from the kitchen to the garage. Laundry facilities together with the water heater and furnace are located here.

It is impossible to tell when looking at this attractive exterior that it has an atrium. Wide panels of stone veneer plus a low stone planter enhances this exceptionally appealing exterior desigrr.
