White roofed, this modified one-story colonial house has a gabled
front. \ strikingly-designed foyer gallery extends from the front door
to the outdoor rear terrace. Thus, guests can proceed directly from
the foyer coat closet to the private outdoor living area without going
through any rooms of the house.
By JOHN O. B. WALLACE
Freshly designed for the New
Year, this modified one story Co
lonial home is high styled for 1958
living.
Right off the drawing board of
an eminent Affierican architect,
and created exclusively for The
House of The Week as HW-86, this
first-of-the-year house design offers
an interestingly different idea in
home planning:
It has a unique flagstoned foyer
gallery which leads directly from
the covered front porch through
the house to the open rear terrace.
From nearly any point in the
house, it makes the outdoors vir
tually as close as the next room
A covered rear porch adjoins the
family terrace.
There is an exterior door in one
bathroom which makes the bath
directly accessible from the out
door patio.
The three bedrooms and two
baths are in one front to-rear wing
at the left of the house. The four
other rooms and the dinette are
in a compactly-arranged separate
wing on the right side of the house.
Sunken Family Room
The work of architect Herman
H. York, this seven-room, white
roofed and gabled house makes
use of split levels at the right ex
tremity to create a spacious and
sunkon family room, 20 ft. by 12
ft. 6 inches.
The family room is down two
steps from the dining room and is
separated from the dining room by
a wrought iron railing.
There are doors from the fanUly
room to the garage and to the out
door terrace, and there are stairs
from the family room up to the
kitchen and down to the full base
ment.
The eentral idea behind the
planning of this house, in York's
words, was to "make direct ac
cess to the outside in those areas
where the greatest traffic is most
likely. The exterior family living
terrace is connected directly to
those areas in which children are
involved."
The major feature of the plan,
of course, is the generously-sized
foyer gallery. "This enables guests
to proceed directly to the private
outdoor living area without going
through any rooms of the house,"
the architect says.

This bird's-eye view takes in virtually the entire right wing of the house, showing parts or all of the
foyer, gallery, living room, dining room, sunken family room, witchen and bay-windowed dinette.
Speaking of other design high
lights, the architect adds:
"The exterior door from the
bathroom to the rear covered
porch and rear terrace makes pos
sible the use of a bathroom from
the outside, thus making it un
necessary to go through any part
of the house.
"The dinette area is attractively
done with an interior barbecue
grille in the brick wall of the main
chimney. The built-in oven is lo
cated on one end of this brick wall
adjacent to a counter top space
for convenient placement of uten
sils.
"Another feature is the sliding
glass door wall from the rear bed
room to the terrace. If this room
is used by the children, it will pro
vide ready access without disturb
ing other areas."
Optional treatment of the garage
area is provided in York's plan.
As shown, the garage doors are at
the right side of the house. Thus,
the front wall of the garage be
comes a part of an exterior un
broken except for windows. If a
narrower plot is desired, the ga
rage doors can be placed instead
at the front.
White Shingles for Roof
Brick and wood shingles are
used for exterior walls, and white
asphalt shingles are recommended
for the roof. The shingles may be
either hand split, with medium
thick butts, or straight shingles.
Random width boards and battens
arc used on the gabled front of
the living room.
Just inside the foyer there is
an ample coat closet and at the
far end of the foyer gallery, six
foot-wide sliding glass doors open
onto the terrace. There is a wealth
of additional interior features.
They include:
A built-in china cabinet in one
corner of the dining room.
A dressing alcove and vanity in
the 13 ft. by 16 ft. master bedroom.
An exhaust fan directly over the
burners in the kitchen and,
Sliding doors in all double-closet
areas of the bedrooms.
