By DAVID L. BOWEN
How would you like to build a
house with practically everything'.'
l-'rom the footbridge over the
garden pool to the front-to-rear
flagsioned foyer gallery, this plan
lias the enviable combination of
beauty and space that is the ideal
tuit for graceful living.

s'aic feet. In rye by almost any
standard, lint if you can stretch
the budget or think someday you

the Study Plan lor B-5 in the
House of the Week series.
It was designed by Architect
Herman H. York, who decided to
include in this plan not barely
adequate but fully satisfactory
space for a modem large family.
To insure an end to circulation
problems, he started off with two
toyers one in the front and an
other at the rear, the latter sunken
two steps for glamorous appeal.
Four bedrooms are in the wing to
the left of these connecting foyers.
L'Slutpcd living and dining room
COMFORT ON A GRAND SCALE: This large ranch home
features a foyer gallery which runs from front all the way
to the rear of the house. There are four bedrooms, large
open to the right of the front foy
er and a huge 13 by 17-foot kitch
en with balconied dinette and U
.tltaped work counters overlooks the
rear foyer. The family room is
one step down on the far side of
the dining room, connected by slid
ing glass doors to the great luxur
ious rear terrace.
The home has 2'a baths on the
first floor and provision for a third
full hath on the basement level in
conjunction with a possible maid's
loom and recreation room.

onial air, with 12 and lt-light

boards and battens under the front
uable add to the atmosphere.

is 81 feet. Depth is 45'2".
Additional Details
One of the many areas of opu-
llence is the master bedroom, a 14
by 17-foot room with full private

also has sliding glass doors which

steps up fiopi the garden terrace.

Desk In Kitchen
Wrought iron railings accent the
fjlamor of the kitchen, dinette and
rear foyer area. The bow window
insures full visibility over the ter
race and a rurner is set aside iit
the kitchen for a planning desk.
Only a difference in level and a
railing separate the dining and
lamily rooms, so these two have a
visual length of :(4 feet.
The architect suggests a depar.
lure from the usual rectangular
shapes in the development of the
outdoor area behind the house. He
has plotted a free flowing terrace
with picnic table and outdoor grille
al the family room end and a
shallow pool opposite the kitchen.
The two-car garage is extra
large to make room lor a work
bench and storage of garden tools.

suggested development of
the basement area.
