1960 DFPA homes: The Weekender

 


A complete year-round residence, the modestly priced Weekender offers roomy comfort. Its compact, U-shaped kitchen is next to the bath. A small, glass-fronted dining area is left of a storage unit that faces the front door. A fire place in the living room and space to sleep up to eight completes the plan. The design is suitable as a guest house or rental unit. Building time and material costs are kept low with the use of fir plywood construction throughout. The modular system affords the budget-minded home craftsman the opportunity to buy and build piecemeal. Later the units can be trucked to the site for assembly.
