1960 DFPA homes Design #3

 


You'll find yourself graduating from spending weekends only, to weeks-on-end when you move into this designed-for-fun cabin by architect Frederick Liebhardt. Planned for a family of five it will sleep eight persons easily without ever resorting to sleeping bags. A cheery central fireplace takes the chill off cool summer mornings and evenings and helps to stretch the cabin season at both ends. It also serves as an accessory cooking facility when overflow crowds arrive. Tidy compact built-in kitchen divider and the corner bath and shower stall leave more room for living yet provide all the necessities you'll need. The sloping rafters over the commodious sundeck can be left open to the breezes or covered for additional shelter. Designed for economy, a single thickness of Exterior fir plywood serves for siding, sheathing and interior facing, which simplifies construction and saves on materials. Use regular Exterior fir plywood or Exterior plywood with a smooth, fused-resin overlay for better paintability. In years to come you'll praise the durability of modern, all-fir plywood construction while enjoying the comfort, beauty and easy maintenance of this modern weekend cottage of sturdy, durable plywood.
