"Give us a vacation house that's low in cost yet one with charm and livability." Faced with this challenge by Douglas Fir Plywood Association and the editors of Woman's Day, Architect George Matsumoto achieved the almost ideal solution. Starting with a simple structure and making full use of fir plywood's unique advantages he created a holiday home which the experienced amateur carpenter will have no difficulty building. Best of all, the cost of minimum construction materials and basic fix-tures for the main house will average only $1,500; more elaborate fixtures, higher quality materials, or greater attention to finished appearance will raise that figure a bit. But even so and even if you hire out all or part of the work you'll have an excitingly different summer place at a truly budget price. One big feature of the total plan is the completely separate living and sleeping areas especially important for the younger set. Another feature you'll like is the fact that the structure is planned to adapt to almost any site requirement. Here again, fir plywood's versatility helps to create a lot of cabin for little money.
