Most homeowners demand four features in a house : A good indoor-outdoor relationship; a plan that encourages informal entertaining; a lack of frills (which makes housekeeping easy) and construction within the limits of ever-mounting building costs. You'll find all these features here. Note also how walls are built only where privacy is important glass areas open rest of home to outdoors.

Home's close link between indoor and outdoors isn't evident from windowless entrance side facing street. Privacy wall at right encloses service areas off kitchen. Louvered carport-porch (left) adds 22 feet of width to this efficient home.

Bedroom end shows simplicity of post-and-beam construction as it projects beyond wall. Adjoining terrace is divided by privacy fence for active and quiet areas. Textures vary from smooth glass, board and batten to roughness of shake roof.
