It Architect Plans American Home with Bermuda Flavor This seven-room ranch style home, Inspired by Bermuda archi- either with or without a basement The "Bermuda room," an out lecture, was designed to be built anywhere in the United States, door, partly shielded breezeway, can be fully enclosed if desired. By JOHN O. B. WALLACE A trip to Bermuda by an Ameri can architect, seeking ideas for a different type of dwelling with pop ular appeal for all parts of the United States, resulted in this in teresting House of the Week de sign. Designated X-18 and created especially for the House of the Week series, the plan captures the charm and atmosphere of homes found on the British Crown Colony 600 miles off the eastern coast of America. The "Bermuda house" can be built with or without a basement to suit the needs of any U. S. re gion. Design X-18 is the work of Les ter Cohen, noted for smartly styled small homes. He made the trip to Bermuda, he says, for the pur pose of "crystalizing my ideas for a popular American home based on the flexible living features which have distinguished Bermuda architecture for so long.'* Its Bermuda characteristics start with the "welcoming arms" of the masonry detail around the front step, the full-length shutters on each side of the door and the fan window over the door. Tray Ceiling Featured The Bermuda atmosphere is brought inside with a tray ceiling in the living room. The same type of ceiling also may be used in the master bedroom. A tray ceiling, the fore-runner of the cathedral ceiling, is of normal height around the perimeter of the room but toward the center it slants upward on all four sides so that there is an upper "well" ris ing to a height of one foot above the nine -foot outer ceiling height. Cohen's plan includes a Bermuda room, 16 by 16 feet 6 inches, which is shown here as an outdoor, partly shielded breezeway between the house and the garage. There is a barbecue grill in one corner. The front part of this room is sheltered and is entered through a . . , v ... v " ~ 1 . vs* . ? . ? - ? * . ? ? ? . vrv" Excellent circulation patterns are established in this floor plan. The center hall is separated from the living room by a latticed divider. A rear vestibule gives access to the dinette and kitchen and to the cellar stairs or lavatory without going through the living, sleeping or working areas of the house. picket door. The roof slopes up ward to the ridge tor extra height. One wall of the garage encloses the Bermuda room on the right. Sliding glass doors separate it from the dining room ? and the rear is open to the back garden. The architect believes many per sons will want to completely en close the Bermuda room as a full room, or use louvcrcd glass walls or screens at the back. In warmer climates, the Bermuda room be comes a permanent living room just as it is. For Outdoor Entertaining In cooler climates, the area can serve the family as a recreation room or as an outdoor entertain ing room. Although inspired by Bermuda architecture, Cohen points out that his plan is "up to date and Ameri can." The room layout includes a wing of three bedrooms, all ac cessible from either the center hall in the front or from the rear vesti bule at the back of the house. In the kitchen, a snack bar and wall oven separate the work area from the dinette.

The dining room lies at the back of the living room and between the kitchen and the Bermuda room. It has double windows at the back overlooking the garden, and a sim ple fireplace. This room has a deep, box bay front window and an arched opening into the dining room. An exterior feature which catches the full flavor of Bermuda is the roof. Here white asbestos shingles arc used; they are most like the ridged, slate roofs so prev alent in Bermuda. The masonry and stucco finish construction of the bouse is fully fireproof. Western Union Wants Higher Rates The State Utilities Commission has set Sept. 24 for a hearing on the proposed raise in rates by Western Union Telegraph Co. The rate increases would amount to $61,056 annually in North Carolina. The rates will not go into effect, pending action by the commission. Full-rate telegrams would be in creased by 10 cents, night letters by 10 cents, and day letters by IS cents. Requests were not made for increases for additional words. Night letter rates and press rates would also be increased un der the proposal. The Susquehanna Trail crosses the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania and the Gettysburg battlefield.
