Against a background of pine
heavily-laden wild plum bushes
and Oregon grape, Mr. and Mrs.
Phil Brixner have had built for
their occupancy within a few
weeks one of the most attractive
homes to be constructed on Lake-
hore drive.
Of modified Spanish colonial
deslcn. tbe 16000 home has been
i nnder construction this summer
by A. M. Curtlss, contractor, and
will be occupied by the Brlxners
early In September.
Lakeshore drive Is rapidly be
coming one of the choice sections
for home owners who wish to
combine the advantages of being
noar their work In the city, hav
ing the comfort of suburban life
and to enjoy the privileges of a
combined summer and winter
home as well.
As motorists drive along Lake
shore drive, they are Interested
In the many homes which have
been built there during the past
few years.
One of tbe most outstanding
is the Brixner residence, plans tor
which were adapted to the Brix-
ners' needs by Howard Perrin
Klamath Falls architect.
Included In tbe plans for the
house is an exceptionally large
living room, 14 by 26 feet, a small
dining room located between liv
ing room and kitchen, a well
equipped and up-to-the-minute
kitchen. A large, generously pro
portioned bedroom with adjoining
tile bath and a hallway, completes
the floor plan.
A full cement basement with
room tor two cars as well as mod
ern heating equipment, is also
completed.
To care for overnight guests,
the Brixners included a cleverly
concealed wall-bed In the living
room which is placed In a closet
behind panel doors.
Throughout the home there are
many outlets, especially generous
. In the kitchen, where electrical
equipment will be used through
out. Gray, weather beaten shingles
of asbestos give the desired ef
fect against the natural back
ground of greenery. Of special
Interest to those who are watch
ing the construction of homes
throughout the city are the metal
casement windows which are used
throughout.

The moilifled Spanish colonial homo of Mr. nml Mrs. Villi
Brixner on Lakeshore drive will be ready for occupancy early In
September. The house Is one of
built around the lake by Klamath
"Carnahan" Cottage Built
Around Closet
Experienced designers of small
homes often begin with some es
sential feature of the house, such
as a hallway or a heating unit or
the kitchen, and design the home
around it. This principle was
followed in an unusual way with
the "Carnahan',' home plan fea
tured by Western Homes founda
tion this week. With this ex
ample, the architects focused on
the problem of closet space. Lim
ited by specifications for "50 or
less square feet In a one-story
home, they first figured the closet
space that would bo required and
then the most effective arrange
ment. This basic problem can be ap
preciated if the Illustration of the
floor plan Is covered on either
side of the closet line through
the center. It may also be seen
by this means how radical changes
from the original plans might
leave the owner with a very un
satisfactory bouse because the
utilization of every possible inch
of space would be lost. Space
saving for economy In construc
tion without loss of efficiency and
comfort In living Is the basis of
the Carnahan design.
Yet certain Interesting changes
are possible without disturbing
the design. Note the dining space
n the rear of the kitchen. As
in another cottage in this series.
the La Pointe, this extension can
be effectively glassed In to cre
ate a little sun porch off the
kitchen. Also, the utility room
can easily be transformed into
a basement entry and stairway if
a basement is desired. In this
case, the closet line may be ex
tended on through the rear bed
room. The chimney arrangement In
this home also makes possible a
cozy corner living-room fireplace
near the center of the bouse.
Those who build from this plan
or from any other small-home
plan sponsored by Western Homes
foundation should be very care
ful, however. In allowing extreme
changes to be made from the
original working drawings and
specifications. Remember that
these have been developed by
leading national architectural and
engineering authorities in coop
eration with the technical experts
of the federal housing adminis
tration to meet the small-homes
problem.

Current small homa architectu
ral competitions show Increasing
tondpnry by nrchltocla to give up
the idea of locating home laundry
rooms In the bnscmont and In
stead to make a new arrnugoment
of first-floor space by which a
small and oompact homo lntinder
ing room can be placed directly
off the kitchen, profitably so that
It also Is only a step or two from
the outside service area.
Not so ninny years ago honit
laundorlng space always was In
the basement. Custom was the
only reason for this, bemuse the
averago housewifo generally was
prompt to admit that the bolow
stalrs area by no means was per
fect for tho weekly laundering
process.
Most basements, even whon dry
and well finished, luck good light
and ventilation. Nevertheless,
architects and builders continued
placing laundries in basomonts,
largely through Indiffcrenco to
ward the correct planning and
placing of them. Habit was a
strong factor In keeping the laun
dering spaco below-stalrs, and in
adequately planned and equipped.
In the past few years there fin
ally has been a distinct break
with the old practices. One of the
largest nationally circulated
women's magazines (Tho Ladies'
Home Journal) recently reported
Its readers Just about equally di
vided lu their preference for baso
nient and first floor laundries.
and 10.000 contestants In a hoino-
piauning competition conducted
by another (Woman's Homo Com
panion) showed a preponderance
of favor for tbe first-floor room.
Those who favor the ground
floor room, no matter how small
and compact, located Just off tho
Kitoneu, point out that keeping It
close to the cooking center makes
It far easier for one woman (o
supervise both. .Moreover, she is
much more conveniently located
for answering the telephone and
the doorbell.
.Mothers find additional advan
tage in tho fact that with the
laundry room upBlalrs they can
work much nearer their children
and exercise a supervision over
them that would be Impossible If
mo uiunury wero In tho basement.
A demonstration hume shown
recently In Springfield, .Mass.,
was a conventional New England
colonial type with the entrance In
the center, living room at one sliiu
and dining room at the other with
the kitchen behind It. To the rear
was a one-story wing, to serve
both as a homo laundry and as a
dining nook. 11 has proved to be
extremely convenient. Laundry
and kitchen use a common rear
hallway leading to the outdoor
service area. Audlng a small wing
permitted use of much window
area for the kitchen and the com
bined laundry and dining nook.
In two collages recently open
ed in suburban lioston amull first
floor areas adjoining the kitchen
are dedicated to laundry use, with
Hie basement for rumpus rooms,
play space and garage.
In another house the combina
tion garage and laundry was
placed so far from the kltchon
and was so unfit for easy access
that women visitors were frank to
say they did not like It.
