A kitchen window overlooks the ter race for supervision. An outdoor masonry planter serves to elongate the front. By JOIIN 0. B. WALLACE This well proportioned house, de signed around a three-room hub of living for more far \y comfort, makes use of a modular pattern in its layout to cut construction waste to a minimum. Designed exclusively for the House of the Week series and designated X-5, its use of the prin ciples of modular layout simpli fies the assembly units which go into a house. This particular plan, developed by Architect Herman H. York, uses a module (unit of measure ment) of 2 feet. In showing the room sizes, the modules will vary slightly from the dimensions shown because partitions are in the cen ter of a modular grid. Although the exterior dimensions adhere to a modular pattern, the actual finished room dimensions may vary from a module of 2 feet because all building materials do not conform to modular sizes. For example, a wood stud used in partitions actually docs not measure 2 by 4 inches unless it is used in rough form. In its dressed form, it measures 1 5/8 by 3 5/8 inches. Odd fractional dimensions, there fore, will result. Still the plan's adherence to a uniform unit will reduce to a minimum the waste in building materials, particularly those used on the outside frame. The modular window size* in de sign X-5 contribute to this uniform pattern, further reducing waste and labor in cutting. And, where feas ible, all partitions have been lo cated on a module grid, thereby | minimizing complications found in i odd-dimensioned layouts. This re duces the chance of error in build ing. i Much research hat been done on ' modular dimension layout a n d i much progress has been made . within various manufacturing I group* to standardize such items i as window sizes, door sizes, sheet i material size* et cetora. I A module smaller than the two foot unit used in this house could I give even greater flexibility, and | a module as small as four inches 1 could be applied to this plan with- 1 out changing the layout.
