California Homes - The Westwood, architect J. Neutra

 


Where spaciousness of social quarters is sought within restricted area, here is an ideal arrangement to comfortably house a couple, one child and one servant. The articulate but intercommunicating arrangement of study, living room, dining room and library combined, results in a spacious feeling and interesting vistas from bay to bay. The bar in den is serviced by the pantry immediately in its rear. A large block of book shelving separates the diningbay from this study, but no door interrupts the free flow from this room to the living- bay proper and its cozy fireplace corner. A large glass and metal door opens onto a garden patio.



The master suite on the upper floor has blonde bleached mahogany wainscots and furniture, aluminum glass for indirect overbed lighting, radio and hand library built into bed shelving. This extends into the dressing compartment with mirror faced partitions and swing mirror, revolving hat racks, etc. The Marlite wainscoted, rubberfloored and mirrored master bath connects with both the bedroom and dressing room.

The second upstairs bath, adjoining the child's and nurse's room, is similarly finished, but of smaller size.

The kitchen and pantry form a continuous unit from delivery hall to diningbay and extend into a maid's dining nook.
