HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY, MARCH 13, lOfiO THE HOUSE OF THE WEEK PAGE SIX Like Outdoor Living? Then Try This! By DAVID L. BOWEN For those who dare to be dif ferent, this house offers a remark able opportunity for enjoyment o modern outdoor living. It's a moderate sized six-room ranch laid out in an unusual but rewarding U-shape. Nestled be Iween the protective arms of the "U" and completely hidden from the street is a delightfully private patio. The patio actually adds a sev enth room, open to the sunlight and cooling summer breeze but fhicldcd on three sides by the house and by a pair of pierced brick walls on the fourth. The warm, cheerful atmosphere of the patio comes flooding into the house through the big glass doors and window which separate jt from the combination family dining room. Tlie plan is B-2 in the House of the Week series of distinguished homes, this one designed by Arch itect Samuel Paul. The living area is 1,072 square feet, not including the two-car garage. There are three bedrooms, a large kitch en, 2'i baths, entrance foyer and a 22 foot living room with a two way fireplace which also open toward the family room. A major advantage of the U- shape is the separation of the sleeping wing from activity areas The bedrooms are further shield ed by a hallway and a bank of closets. The U-shape also makes possible cross ventilation of the master bedroom. In addition to a large walk-in and a 6-foot long conven tional closet, this chamber has a full private bath. B-2 is trimly roofed with a hip around the three sides of the "U and a flat roof above the garage and front entrance porch. The ex terior is finished in wood siding or shingles.
